Since it is my birthday month, and I would like to share the love, I’m giving you the opportunity to receive two exclusive novellas from The Advocate Series that are only available to my readers. A lot of you have these already, but I know many of you don’t. So here they

Teresa answered Jessica's question: Please tell me you are working on Tuper mysteries book 5 . . .? I just devoured 1 - 4. Really enjoyable! Hi Jessica, I am sorry to say but I am not continuing the series. Book 4 will be the last Tuper Mystery book.

Teresa added a status update: I'm sorry but, there's a glitch in the Kindle version of The Advocate's Quandary. It was corrected the day of the release. So, you may have gotten one with some chapters out of order. It's easy to check, just go to Chapter 15 and see how it starts. It should read: Thursday late afternoon It was quiet in Sabre’s office. If it does not, please contact me at teewriter@gmail.com and I will help you correct it. Teresa
