Flattering review for DEADLY DUNES!

Here's what Midwest Book Review had to say about Deadly Dunes:

Another deftly crafted mystery/suspense masterpiece from author E. Michael Helms, Deadly Dunes is the third title in his outstanding Mac McClellan Mystery series. Very highly recommended reading action/adventure mystery buffs, Deadly Dunes is certain to be an enduringly popular addition to community library collections. Also very highly recommended are the two earlier titles in this superbly written series: Deadly Catch (9781616148676, $15.95 PB, $9.59 Kindle) and Deadly Ruse (9781616140090, $15.95 PB, $9.59 Kindle, 239 pp).

"deftly crafted...masterpiece" "outstanding...series" "Very highly recommended"
"enduringly popular addition" "superbly written series" -- WOW, I can feel my head expanding! Anybody know how the South American jungle tribes used to shrink those heads? I might just need a dose of that! Humble me.

Anyway, Deadly Dunes will be available in paperback and just about any ebook format you can imagine at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and most other online book retailers. It should be available in brick and mortar stores, also. If not, ask your friendly bookstore person to order it and you'll have it in hand in a few days.

M.J. Payne Wonderful review Michael congratulations! I have already read and reviewed "DEADLY DUNES" with a pre-publication copy and ordered the paperback to add to my collection of "Deadly Catch" and "Deadly Ruse" both of which I also reviewed. These are classic mysteries and I enjoy all of them. They are beautifully written as well as "deftly crafted...masterpieces" of mystery. I would advise against shrinking your head. I saw one of those heads once and you should keep yours as is!

E.Michael Helms M.J. I SO much appreciate your reviews and ALL the support you've given me! Looking forward to reading "Fulcrum" when you think it's ready. All best!

M.J. Payne Michael, reading your books is a great pleasure as they are consistently well written and often contain beautiful lyrical passages as well as strong stories. You have also shown yourself to be a versatile writer who can move from the horrors of "Proud Bastards" to the thrilling and often funny mysteries.
"Fulcrum of Desire" is coming along and getting plumper by the day. I look forward to you reading it when it is "ready". It's about 140 pages at the moment. All best!
