Murder Came Early: Black Cat White Paws Release Date Now June 27
The release date for the eBook edition of Black Cat White Paws has been moved to June 27. You can still get it at the special preorder price of $1.99 (regular $4.99).
In Black Cat White Paws, recently widowed Maggie Dahl finds herself faced with challenges on all fronts: life alone in a new town, running a business she and her husband had dreamed of and started together, and now pursuing a killer. Her sister Gerri moves from Philadelphia to Lambertville, New Jersey, to support her sister and start a new life of her own. Together the women search for a murderer, helped in critical ways by their neighbor’s cat. A black cat with white paws. A cat whose independence sets it all in motion and sees it through to the end.
Black Cat White Paws finds Maggie moving from New York City to Lambertville, an idyllic river town with artists, restaurants, incredible landscapes, and enough local characters to populate a murder mystery. Join Maggie, Gerri, Checks the cat, and a cast of colorful small town natives just as eager—and as shocked—to find a killer in their midst.

Gadgets, Gizmos and Tech: VicTsing Bluetooth Mini Speaker
Gadgets, Gizmos and Tech is a regular feature at LGBTSr offering cool things you can live without but might not want to.A friend of ours gives us the most interesting gifts every year when she visits. This year she brought us Alexa, Echo, and this marvelous little VicTsing portable speaker. Billed as a shower speaker, probably because it has a suction cup attached so you can stick it on a bathroom mirror or shower wall, it works just as well sitting on a hotel night stand. It’s very basic, and very handy. It doesn’t take up much more space than the palm of your hand, but once you’ve connected your iPhone or other Bluetooth device, it serves as a small portable speaker. You can listen to anything you’d hear or stream on your phone through this little dynamo–music, audiobooks, or a podcast. If you can hear it through your phone, you can hear it through the VicTsing. We recently took it on a trip to Atlantic City and had our own portable sound system in the room.
