About Reservation for Murder: A Kyle Callahan Mystery

It’s been several years since Kyle Callahan sought the help of a New York City therapist to overcome the trauma of his encounter with a serial killer, and just as long since his investigation into a teenage girl’s murder brought down the Manhattan District Attorney. He and his husband Danny Durban have decided to move away, to start a new life in the idyllic river city of Lambertville, New Jersey. They have friends there. They’ll have peace and quiet. They can leave the hustle and bustle and stresses of America’s biggest metropolis behind.

They open a bed and breakfast, and soon discover that murder and mayhem are waiting to check in. There’s a writers conference in town, with big names and big egos heading for a clash—and a killing—of titans. No sooner has the ink dried on the guest registry than Kyle finds himself pursuing another murderer, this one closer to home than they’ve ever come. He enlists the help of his old friend and local resident Linda Sikorsky, once a detective on the New Hope, Pennsylvania, police force. The two of them follow one lead after another in a race against time until the shocking truth is exposed.

You can now enjoy a four chapter sample of the audiobook edition of ‘Beautiful Corpse: A Marshall James Thriller,’ directly from Book Funnel. Just CLICK HERE to listen or download. And if you’d like to hear the rest, it’s available at Audible and Amazon. Fasten your headphones!

The paperback has arrived and it looks fabulous! Reservation for Murder: A Kyle Callahan Mystery is now available.

Just in time, and in my favorite month! It’s my birth month, it’s Halloween, and it’s the wide release of Reservation for Murder: A Kyle Callahan Mystery. It’s been five years since the last Kyle Callahan book, and it was so much fun meeting the characters again and riding the mystery train with them. The eBook edition is out now on Amazon and Apple Books, and will be out very soon on Barnes & Noble and Kobo (those are pending review, which can take a few days). And look for the paperback edition in the next few weeks.

“TMI: My Life in Scandal” by Perez Hilton with Leif Eriksson and Martin Svensson

You’re allowed to change your mind.

You grow, get a few experiences under your belt, and things might look a bit different. You can have a change of heart then, and pivot your life in a different direction. You can take do-overs and take-backs, but carefully. And as in the new book “TMI” by Perez Hilton (with Leif Eriksson and Martin Svensson), you can ask for forgiveness, too.

If you knew Mario Armando Lavandiera Jr. when he was a child, you’d be surprised at the man he is today. He says he had a good childhood but he was a “different” kid then, and was often bullied: among other indignities, his classmates called him “the Fat Kid” because he loved to eat.
