Seven years ago I posted the very first item here (Survey Focuses on Treatment of Long-Term Care for LGBT Elders). I was a mere 52 years old, a kid with a vision: to create and sustain an online space for the over-50 LGBTQ audience and our friends and allies. After an extended hiatus to do some reimagining of my life (move with my husband to our house in rural New Jersey, check; trade office cubicle for a job at a grocery story, check), the site is back and better than ever.

It’s all read and done: ‘Murder at the Paisley Parrot’ has just released in audiobook. You can find it now on Audible, Amazon, and coming soon on iTunes. Narrated by Audible Approved narrator Fred Wolinsky, the audiobook brings to life the first book in the Marshall James series. Wolinsky’s steady, experienced narration lets the writing come through and the characters speak for themselves. Listeners will hear the tale of a world-weary man deciding now is the time to talk, to tell a story or three about some murders he was involved in back in the day, Hollywood, 1983. Are you listening?

Mark McNease did a terrific job writing Marshall James’s story. The murder mystery was intriguing and suspenseful and made this a page-turner for me. – Maryann

I knew it was coming, but I didn’t know if it would be negative, positive, or mixed. Imagine my delight at getting a stellar review, calling ‘Murder at the Paisley Parrot’ a page turner. Just the shot in the arm a writer needs now and then. And listen for the audiobook arriving any day now, narrated by the fabulous Fred Wolinsky.

Audible recently added author profiles and I think they did a very nice job. I’ve got 6 audiobooks out, with a 7th coming any day now. Take a look at my author page and browse many more.
