Should I be writing about the blind?
Of course I care when a blind reader tells me she didn’t like a book of mine. I want to tell her I’m sorry, that I didn’t intend to hurt anyone’s feelings, and that I go out of my way to write only nice things about blind people. Come on, we’re talking about Daisy Hayes here!

"The story starts with the death of Daisy's husband, Ralph, a pilot during World War II. It goes back and forth through time to tell the story of their love and his murder.

"Clean mystery
Enjoyed reading a mystery set in the WW2 period of time. The main character is blind and solves the tragic mystery over a period of time." |

"Highly entertaining
When you read this book you will enjoy the descriptions from Daisy, as the blind sleuth. Very entertaining. Good story from back in the day of propped airplanes. " |

Dear Charlotte, I'm glad you like my books, and it's true that buying them all will set you back some, although I pride myself on a truly 'grassroots' price setting. You may find a couple more free installments (e-pub editions) on Google Play or Smas

“Without a word, Daisy took off her glasses and revealed the empty buttonholes of her crippled eyes in their full horror. Ralph was taken aback and fascinated at the same time. He started counting to ten in his mind while still peering intently at the ghoulish slits. Even the eyelids were atrophied; there were no eyelashes. After counting to ten, Ralph told himself, “All right, I’m over it now.” Then he reflected that the sight of Daisy’s eyes was disturbing and thrilling at the same time. She looked so naked. It was almost as if she’d taken off her clothes for him. There was something uncannily intimate about this situation.”
