It is really an amazing book … As a clinical psychologist, this book was more interesting to me than many things that I read. I certainly will be looking for more books by this outstanding author.
—I purchased this book for vacation, but it didn’t get that far. I started reading and I seriously couldn’t put it down and finished it before we left.
—Wow, this story is stunning in more ways than one. The research alone had to take such a long time to make this story so real and compelling. My heart was breaking some of the time and then I was crying because of good things. I loved the story and really think this lady is one of the best authors I’ve ever had the privilege of reading!
—Zachary is not your normal, everyday detective, but because of his mental health issues he seems to have an extra sense in sorting out the reasons behind the crimes he is investigating … Ms Workman has again created characters with depth, feeling and realism… I am really looking forward to the next installment as Ms Workman has yet to disappoint me.

Reflecting on a Decade of Creativity and Publication

Canadian Thanksgiving was this week, so I am in a grateful state of mind as I write this blog. As an independent writer and publisher, I am very thankful for the opportunities and freedom that come with being able to pursue my passion for writing and publishing. I am grateful for the ability to express myself creatively and share my thoughts and ideas through my writing.
I am also grateful for the support and encouragement I receive from my readers. Knowing that my words have resonated with someone and positively impacted their lives (whether by reaching someone who has been feeling marginalized or just providing stress relief and entertainment) is incredibly rewarding and fuels my passion for writing.
I have been a writer from a very young age, and I am thankful for the ability to create something new and see it come to shape under my pen (computer). The modern technology and platforms that allow me to publish it and bring it to my readers are miraculous. They allow me to leave a lasting legacy and make a difference in the world.
This October is special for another reason as well—it is my tenth bookiversary—the anniversary of the publication of my first book. During that time, as one of Canada’s most prolific authors, I have been able to publish:

I have set up subscriptions for those who want to get my content into their inboxes every month.
What a journey! I hope you will stick with me as I continue to write and publish for the next ten years! It’s hard to predict where technology and publishing platforms will take us during that time, but I’m sure it will be exciting.

As they fight against an unfair and corrupt system to save themselves and others from the clutches of profit-driven doctors, social workers, and judges, will they succeed in their fight against the corrupt forces that threaten to destroy them? With heart-pounding suspense and a thought-provoking storyline, this collection will leave you on the edge of your seat.

The plot was FANTASTIC. I’ve read a lot of stories about foster children, but never anything quite like what happens in Mito. I never even realized that medical kidnap could very well be a thing happening “behind the scenes” in foster care, but after reading this book my mind is blown. I just. Wow. I don’t want to go into a whole lot of detail so I think I might stop this review here, but, gah. I can’t even form words I’m so freaking mind blown.
This book was amazing!!

Step into the Atmospheric World of Deception by Gaslight: Unraveling Secrets in 1888 New York City

I hope you’re all ready for some Halloween reads! If you are, head over to my Halloween book deals!
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.
Deception by Gaslight, by Kate Belli, the first book in the Gilded Gotham Mysteries, transports the reader to the enchanting yet treacherous setting of New York City in 1888. The tale unfolds around the intrepid reporter, Genevieve Stewart, and her relentless pursuit to unmask the elusive thief known as Robin Hood who has been pilfering precious items from society’s elite.
Genevieve has her suspicions, with her keen eye fixed on the mysterious millionaire Daniel McCaffrey. Is he a hero? A scoundrel? How many of the rumors about him are true? Does he even have anything to do with the thefts?
Belli masterfully paints a vivid tableau of the gaslight era, immersing readers in an atmospheric world filled with intrigue and suspense. She guides you through a labyrinthine journey across New York City in an enthralling game of cat and mouse.
Billy there, he don’t like being followed, even by a lady as pretty as you.
Kate Belli, Deception by Gaslight

As a chill sets in on New York City in the winter of 1888, a jewel thief dubbed the “Robin Hood of the Lower East Side” has been stealing from the city’s wealthiest and giving to the poor. Genevieve Stewart–a young woman whose family is part of Mrs. Astor’s famed 400 but who has forged a life of her own as a reporter–decides to chase the story, but gets more than she bargained for: a murder victim sprawled in a dark alley in the dangerous Five Points neighborhood.
A handsome neighborhood tough comes to her rescue–but when she encounters the same man at a glamorous ball a few nights later, she realizes he’s society scion Daniel McCaffrey. Could this be her Robin Hood? When two more murders rock the Knickerbocker world, it becomes apparent that something much more sinister is afoot than a few stolen diamond necklaces. Genevieve is determined to prove that Daniel is Robin Hood–but she’s loath to believe he is a killer as well. From the glittering lights of Fifth Avenue to the sordid back alleys of Five Points, the truth is just one murder away.

High-Octane Adventure Awaits in Full Force and Effect

Murder Meringue Pie, the latest book in the Auntie Clem’s Bakery Series has been released! If you haven’t ordered your copy yet, grab your detective hats and get ready for a thrilling new adventure in small town Bald Eagle Falls. Bite into this sweet treat today! Check out my blog post.
Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme. Read the rules and more teasers at The Purple Booker. Anyone can play along.
Tom Clancy Full Force and Effect by Mark Greaney is a Jack Ryan/Jack Ryan, Jr. political thriller. As with any Tom Clancy book, fans can expect plenty of spycraft, political intrigue, chases, and exciting firefights, with your favourite Jack Ryan, Mary Pat Foley, Jack Junior and the rest of the campus.
With its well-drawn characters, meticulously researched plot, and relentless pace, Full Force and Effect is a must-read for fans of the genre and a testament to the enduring legacy of one of the greatest political thriller writers of our time.
He took another gulp of gin. “Sometimes it’s best to know.”
Mark Greaney, Full Force and Effect

A North Korean ICBM crashes into the Sea of Japan. A veteran CIA officer is murdered in Ho Chi Minh City. A package of forged documents goes missing. The pieces are there, but assembling the puzzle will cost Jack Ryan, Jr., and his fellow Campus agents precious time. Time they don’t have…
The challenge facing President Jack Ryan is an old one with a terrifying new twist. As the international stalemate with North Korea continues into its seventh decade, a young, untested dictator is determined to prove his strength by breaking the deadlock. Like his father before him, he hangs his plans on the country’s nuclear ambitions, a program impeded by a lack of resources—until now.
A recently discovered deposit of valuable minerals has caused a dramatic change in the nation’s economic fortune. Coupled with their nuclear capabilities, the money from this find will make North Korea a dangerous force on the world stage.

Zachary Goldman is many things. He is dysfunctional, traumatized, often depressed, and a bit neurotic, but he is also a brilliant and tenacious private investigator whose dogged determination to resolve his client’s issues guarantee that his exploits are always a pleasure to read.
Kim, Goodreads reviewer
Zachary Goldman Private Investigator Cases 11-13AboutPraise for Zachary GoldmanBook Club ResourcesOn my BlogPraise for P.D. WorkmanZachary Goldman, Private Investigator, is flawed with a capital F.
Shattered by the tragedies of his own life, he will somehow still manage to pick himself up and dig just a little bit deeper than anyone else to find the vital clues.
Maybe being broken makes it easier for others who have faced tragedy to trust him. Walk with Zachary as he solves three cases that will stretch his abilities to the limit.
A case is only unsolvable as long as it remains unsolved.
This set includes:
He Drowned in Memory
When his younger brother Tyrrell goes missing, PI Zachary Goldman is anxious to find him before something bad happens to him. Or is it already too late?
Their Walls Were Empty
Nothing is as it appears. As Zachary digs deeper into the theft, it becomes apparent that there is far more at stake here than just some sports memorabilia. Just what has Walter put him in the middle of?
They Came for Him
There’s been some trouble. That was the understatement of the year. A call from private investigator Zachary Goldman’s older sister puts him on to a murder case, but this time he is trying to help the murderer rather than tracking him down.
Zachary Goldman has become one of my favorite fictional characters. He is so flawed and troubled and loyal and hardworking and, and…I want to be Zach when I grow up!
The writing is skillful, with a wonderfully complex plot and well-developed characters. Highly recommended!

—I read it almost straight through, but did have to sleep in there somewhere. I’ve been reading it this morning also for 3 hours straight. It is really an amazing book … As a clinical psychologist, this book was more interesting to me than many things that I read. I certainly will be looking for more books by this outstanding author.
—I purchased this book for vacation, but it didn’t get that far. I started reading and I seriously couldn’t put it down and finished it before we left.
—Wow, this story is stunning in more ways than one. The research alone had to take such a long time to make this story so real and compelling. My heart was breaking some of the time and then I was crying because of good things. I loved the story and really think this lady is one of the best authors I’ve ever had the privilege of reading!
—Zachary is not your normal, everyday detective, but because of his mental health issues he seems to have an extra sense in sorting out the reasons behind the crimes he is investigating … Ms Workman has again created characters with depth, feeling and realism… I am really looking forward to the next installment as Ms Workman has yet to disappoint me.
