Welcome to Devlinsbooks!

NUMBER TEN – THE QUILT RIPPER!!!

And she’s done! Now we’re working on the cover, but very soon you will be able to read this new novel, which is a new story with a new character. We hope you will like her as much as we do. And there’s a new man in her life.

Miranda is a widow with a dismal track record when it comes to dating, but this guy is different. Gabe was surprised when his wife of 25 years left him for her yoga instructor. He hasn’t dated much since the divorce.

Part of our process is to write the “back of the book” blurb. So as a teaser and to get you excited about our new release here it is:

Back of Book

Miranda Hathaway is the town librarian and a member of Cutler Quilt Guild Number One. She likes to read mysteries, especially Sherlock Holmes. When someone breaks into the house of a guild member, rips apart an heirloom quilted skirt, and leaves the torn pieces behind, everyone in Cutler, PA, thinks Miranda can solve the mystery!

Gabe Downing, a retired FBI agent from Boston, has recently joined the Quilt Guild as its first and only male member. Coincidence? Miranda doubts it, but she finds herself attracted to this new man in town. He asks her to dinner and she’s flattered at first, but then her suspicious mind wanders. Does he know more about the break-in than he’s saying? Is he trying to find out what information she might have? Well, two can play that game!

Can Miranda and Gabe find the thief, who Miranda has nicknamed the “Quilt Ripper,” before another vintage piece is destroyed? Gabe may have experience on his side but she has her own secret weapon. The ladies of Cutler Quilt Guild Number One are on the case!

A FULL CHAPTER OF THE QUILT RIPPER.

DYING FOR A HEADLINE, Meredith Abbott’s Adventures in England!!! Book Number Nine and the final book of Meredith Abbott’s Adventures. In this novel, we follow Meredith and Timothy back to England where she plans to help him restore the family’s ancestral home, an English manor house located in The Cotswolds. As they work together and begin to plan a future, someone isn’t happy. Antonio has no intentions of letting them live happily ever after.

RELATIVE UNKNOWN, the sequel to                                                                        The Witherspoon Adventures Trilogy.

After much discussion, we agreed that we needed more! Many people had asked us whatever happened to Magee and Rick. The story just didn’t seem complete, sooo… here it is. The sequel to The Witherspoon Adventures has a twist that we didn’t see coming and we’re sure you didn’t either. Go to the Books page and read the synopsis for a hint and then order the book on the How To Buy page to get the final episode in The Witherspoon Adventures.

Although we are control freaks by nature, we have learned to trust the experts for certain aspects of our writing projects. We are so fortunate to have wonderful people who not only help us publish the best products we can, but who also encourage and support us in this joint venture of ours. Special thanks to each of them and if you are looking for help with a project of your own, we highly recommend them.

Copy-editor:  Sharon K. Garner   (sharonkgarner.com)   Sharon is a published author who also works as a copy-editor for manuscripts, screenplays, etc. She catches details that we may have missed, corrects our spelling and grammar, and makes suggestions. She has worked on every one of our novels and knows our characters as well as we do. Since Sharon lives nearby, we meet occasionally for lunch. Go to her website to see a list and read excerpts of her amazing romance novels, each set in an exotic locale. I don’t travel much but do travel through my imagination in Sharon’s novels.

Graphic Artist:  Elizabeth Nichols   (enicholsdesign.com)   Elizabeth was recommended by a friend and we couldn’t be happier. When it was suggested that Magee needed a new, improved cover, we contacted Elizabeth. We have completed the makeovers of all three original Witherspoon novels. And they are awesome! The cover for Lying for a Living was incredible! Then it was on to the fourth Witherspoon novel, which was really a challenge because there wasn’t a clear direction for the cover. After going back and forth a couple of times, we came up with this idea and Elizabeth rocked it! We can’t wait to see what she will do with the second Meredith Abbott Adventure. Go to Elizabeth’s website to see all of the services she can offer such as logo and website design.

E-book Expert:  Michael Campbell   (mcwriting.com)   Michael Campbell and staff are the masters at converting our paper books into e-books. They are fast, thorough and extremely accommodating. Even making changes after we catch our own mistakes. They provide each e-book in different formats so they can be posted for Amazon and B&N. Check out Michael’s website to see all of the writing services he offers.

Welcome to Devlinsbooks!

Posting a new short story today (9/10/15). I’ve been working on this one for several years and decided to share it. Not long ago I worked on a continuation of this story, so after a few weeks, I’ll share Part II of this story. Hope you enjoy, “Tomorrow”.

JUST FOR FUN!  THIS PAGE WILL BE DEDICATED TO SHORT STORIES, BOOK CHAPTERS AND IDLE RAMBLINGS! AS THE TITLE SAYS, IT’S JUST FOR FUN!!!

As I’ve said before, some people knit and crochet, we write. Writing was our hobby long before we ever got the idea to try to publish something together. Mary also quilts and travels and works for her husband, but she always has a book in her head that she’s working on in her “spare” time. I amuse myself in my retirement by writing short stories. Many of them I’ve been writing and rewriting over again for years now. My sister has encouraged me to be brave and put some of my short stories on here for your amusement as well. No thrillers, suspense or crime, just sweet romances for me. Just put up a new short story. Looking forward to your comments and hope you enjoy the read. –Debbie

Special thanks to each of them and if you are looking for help with a project of your own, we highly recommend them.

Copy-editor:  Sharon K. Garner   (sharonkgarner.com)   Sharon is a published author who also works as a copy-editor for manuscripts, screenplays, etc. She catches details that we may have missed, corrects our spelling and grammar, and makes suggestions. She has worked on every one of our novels and knows our characters as well as we do. Since Sharon lives nearby, we meet occasionally for lunch. Go to her website to see a list and read excerpts of her amazing romance novels, each set in an exotic locale. I don’t travel much but do travel through my imagination in Sharon’s novels.

Graphic Artist:  Elizabeth Nichols   (enicholsdesign.com)   Elizabeth was recommended by a friend and we couldn’t be happier. When it was suggested that Magee needed a new, improved cover, we contacted Elizabeth. We have completed the makeovers of all three original Witherspoon novels. And they are awesome! The cover for Lying for a Living was incredible! Then it was on to the fourth Witherspoon novel, which was really a challenge because there wasn’t a clear direction for the cover. After going back and forth a couple of times, we came up with this idea and Elizabeth rocked it! We can’t wait to see what she will do with the second Meredith Abbott Adventure. Go to Elizabeth’s website to see all of the services she can offer such as logo and website design.

E-book Expert:  Michael Campbell   (mcwriting.com)   Michael Campbell and staff are the masters at converting our paper books into e-books. They are fast, thorough and extremely accommodating.

NINTH BOOK IS HERE!!! Dying for a Headline, Meredith Abbott’s Adventures in England!!! Book Number Nine and the final book of Meredith Abbott’s Adventures is now available. In this novel, we follow Meredith and Timothy back to England where she plans to help him restore the family’s ancestral home, an English manor house located in The Cotswolds. As they work together and begin to plan a future, someone isn’t happy. Antonio has no intentions of letting them live happily ever after.

 

RELATIVE UNKNOWN, the sequel to The Witherspoon
Adventures Trilogy.  After much discussion, we agreed that we needed more! Many people had asked us whatever happened to Magee and Rick. The story just didn’t seem complete, sooo… here it is. The sequel to The Witherspoon Adventures has a twist that we didn’t see coming and we’re sure you didn’t either. Go to the Books page and read the synopsis for a hint and then order the book on the How To Buy page to get the final episode in The Witherspoon Adventures.
