I submitted my newest stand alone mystery, SECRETS OF THE TUNNELS, to Kindle. To my surprise, they wrote back and said they would like to consider it for publication. However, before seriously considering it, they want to make sure the book has enough reader support.
So now it's competing for publication against other books. Lots of people have nominated it for publication and it shot up to their Read more of this blog post »

L.C. Hayden Debbie wrote: "Please put Who's Susan on Kindle and tell me the order to read the Bronson books. Thanks"

Hi Debbie, The order of the Bronson books are Who's Susan?, followed by When Colette Died, followed by Where Secrets Lie, then What Others Know. Unfortunately, I have no control over these books as the publisher still holds the rights. Then I got smart and changed publishers and continued with the Bronson series: Why Casey Had to Die, When Death Intervenes, and When the Past Haunts You. I am about ready to write the next Bronson book.
Currently, I'm waiting for the release of my first stand alone: Secrets of the Tunnels.
I've also done two books on the Aimee Brent series, a new series: ILL Conceived and Vengeance in My Heart.
Thanks for asking. So sorry this answer comes in so late. Somehow it got lost!

Debbie Please put Who's Susan on Kindle and tell me the order to read the Bronson books. Thanks


Lawrence Thank you for accepting my friendship.

L.C. Hayden Thanks to all who told me how to add friends! Really appreciate it!

L.C. Hayden I hope I'm not breaking any rules by posting this. But as a Christmas gift to you, dear readers, I'd like to gift you any of my e-books (Kindle version) priced $3.99 or below. Send me your Amazon contact address and I'll gift you whichever book you want. My newest release is Angels Around Us, a collection of true, inspirational stories about people who have had an angel experience. If you'd rather wait for a mystery, the next Harry Bronson book will be out in Feb. (When the Past Haunts You)

L.C. Hayden Hey Marion,
Writing going great. Got most of my books on Kindle and Nook. Harlequin will publish the paperback version of WHEN DEATH INTERVENES next year and Five Star is looking at my next Harry Bronson novel. I've started Part II of the angel book. Thanks for asking.
I know how things can get on the way, so good luck with your writing!
Got a new granddaughter who I will be babysitting full time. Yay!
