From Amazon Australia: "...a wonderful thriller with an older heroine (love that!), solid plotting, a great setting and some flashbacks to a time and happening I had no knowledge of - the Berkeley student protests of the 1960s."

Crazy-Town in the News Again
Letty left Berkeley, CA in 1970, after spending her high school years with protests, sit-ins, and peace signs.
She wasn't around for the ensuing years of nutty happenings in her hometown, although the events regularly appeared in the news.
No doubt she would find the latest Berserkely occurrence to be one of its most outstandingly crazy.
The City Council has declared that all Gendered Terms must be replaced with Non-Gendered Terms.
Here are a few:
Manhole is now Maintenance Cover.
Heirs = Beneficiaries
Pregnant Woman = Pregnant Employee
Sorority, Fraternity = Colligate Greek System Residence
Pronouns are not allowed. He, She, Him, Her, Himself, Herself, are strictly verboten.
The entire list (which is hilarious) can be found here.

Summer Solstice 2019
The longest day of the year. The Summer Solstice. A day of positive energy and glorious sunlight. That is, of course, if you do not live in the San Francisco Bay Area.
Once again, we awakened to sucked in fog and bitterly cold weather. So much for seeing the sun rise and pop through an ancient temple. There actually is a Sunstone at a local science museum, but they are closed at sunrise and no one there seemed to know what I was talking about.

What's Up with Amazon AU?
I published my first book, Murder, Jaz, & Tel Aviv, through BookSurge. A few years later, they morphed into CreateSpace, and things just got better. I was now able to format everything on my own without paying for the service. Also, I was able to run free eBook giveaways. Then Amazon took over and things again changed.

Pebble Beach -US Open: Nighttime Reading
After a long day of watching the US Open in Pebble Beach, this might just be the perfect read.
Set in Monterey & Carmel, the very same neighborhood as The Open, BAD ACCOUNTS, would be a good addition to that late night cocktail
Top notch accountant Pia might have suspected her bosses of cooking the books, but when you’re fifty-two and jobs are scarce, it’s easy to look the other way. Or it is until you find out that your employers might be managing the finances of a drug cartel, right there in your hometown. Stealing a few files to implicate her bosses seemed like a good idea… until Pia finds a gun in her front yard, apparently dropped by an inept hitman.
