New Edition of SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO on sale now!
Hi Friends:
I'm happy to announce that the new edition of my YA novel, SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO, is now on sale in paperback on Amazon.com with 20% off the retail price. (Available in Kindle, too!)
Darla McKendrick is nine when she first hears her mother and her aunt Didi secretly discussing their younger sister, Rebecca, speculating about her life in squalor. From the moment Darla asks to know more about her mysterious aunt, she is offered nothing but half-truths, distortions, and evasions.
As Darla grows into her teen years, her life is oddly yet profoundly affected by this woman she has never known. She can't help but notice that Rebecca seems to exist only in dark corners of conversations and that no one ever wants to talk about her-with Darla.
SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO is a coming-of-age story shrouded in family mystery. As the plot takes twists and turns, secrets are revealed not only to Darla but to the "secret keepers" as well. Darla learns that families are only as strong as the truths they hold and as weak as the secrets they keep.

SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO now available for all eReaders!
Hello Friends:
I'm happy to announce that my YA novel, SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO, is now available in multiple eBook formats at ireadiwrite.com - Omnilit.com and Smashwords.com for just $4.99. In the days to come, SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO will be available in many other e-venues as well.
SQUALOR, NEW MEXICO, a coming-of-age story shrouded in family mystery, is set in east coast suburbia in the not-too-distant past.
A recent reader told me that her 18-year-old daughter thought it was "way cool" to read a YA novel about family problems, secrets, and mysteries that didn't involve cell phones, text messages, emails or computers. Sometimes good old-fashioned sleuthing has its merits, indeed!
Additionally, my first-published novel, CROOKED MOON, is also available at ireadiwrite.com for the reduced price of $4.99 as well.
CROOKED MOON is the story of two childhood best friends who reunite after twenty-three years after leading very different lives. Their lives collide one hot Philadelphia summer and each ends up with a life-altering secret regarding the other.
Both books are also available on Amazon.com in both Trade Paperback and Kindle editions.
Happy Reading! Happy Writing to All!
