Consumed with grief as she mourns the death of her beloved husband and
partner, Mike Stone, Amy heads to Egypt to thwart a gang of gun runners
believed to be responsible for her loss.

However, events do not go according to plan. She herself is left for dead on the
shores of Lake Nasser, and she goes undercover to thwart a madman’s attempt
to destroy not only Earth, but the fabric of spacetime itself. Allying herself with the
mysterious woman she calls The Medusa and an Egyptologist obsessed with
Egypt’s Age of the Pyramids, she travels the Nile and faces an enemy that
challenges her wildest imagination.

Six months have passed since Dillon and Lang crashed into each other on a crowded street in New York City, changing the course of their lives. Now they’re living together as a couple, happy, in love, but not quite ready to say the words out loud.

Dillon is about to embark on a new adventure—opening a private art school housed in the brownstone left to him by his father. Lang… Lang is becoming ever more aware of the futility of his mission: being caretaker to his clan’s future when his clan might not survive the war with an opposing faction.

When a flashbulb outside a nightclub on New Year’s Eve temporarily blinds Dillon, the course of their lives is set to change again. Dillon’s perception of how the world works is going to be forever altered, and Lang will have to decide between his mission and the man who has come to mean more to him than he ever thought possible.

It will be up to both of them to chart a new direction, one that holds the balance between being human and alien. A course that might require sacrifices neither of them is willing to make.

Cincinnati, May 1964: When a world-famous tenor collapses on the stage of Cincinnati’s Music Hall during a May Festival performance of the opera “Carmen” and dies on the way to the hospital, foul play is suspected. The victim had collected more than his fair share of enemies, but who could have hated him enough to want him dead? As a member of the cast, the always elegant, stiletto-shod Augusta McKee, singer/professor/amateur sleuth, is onstage and witnesses the tragedy up close and personal. However, when her beau, charismatic Homicide Detective Malcolm Mitchell, becomes lead investigator, Augusta offers her assistance, convinced that her contacts in “Opera World” will provide valuable insight as Malcolm searches for answers. Somewhat reluctantly, he agrees—and the pair unofficially join forces to track down a killer.

With a murderer on the loose and a show that must still go on, time is of the essence in Pocono Liar Susan Moore Jordan‘s thrilling, heart-stopping, third Augusta McKee Mystery. You can order your copy from Amazon here!

Thanks once again to the wonderful speakers who came to our Writers Conference (postponed from a snowy January). We all had a wonderful time and much was learned!
(Click on a picture for a larger view) 

Due to the huge snowstorm coming this weekend, we have had to reschedule the Writers Conference.  Believe us, we didn’t want to do it, but after the governor declared an emergency and placed restrictions on travel, we decided it was for the best. We would feel terrible if someone had an accident trying to drive home in the snow.

The next date where we could get the room at the library and all of the participants to attend?  April 13th.  At least there is not a great chance for snow by then.

We’re sorry once again.

If you can’t make it, please go to the Event page and take your name off so someone else can make it. If you paid for a session, contact the person whose session it is because they can possibly just do a Skype meeting or something with you so you don’t lose their input!

A new town, a new neighbor, and a new chance to build a forever.

Pocono Liar Kelly Jensen‘s new book is now available!

Charlie King is doing fine. Sure, he’s a widower raising a teenage daughter who just got her first boyfriend, his book series isn’t writing itself, and he has a crush on his new neighbor—the guy next door. But everything’s just fine.

Simon Lynley is doing better. He moved to Bethlehem to fall out of love and rebuild his career. An affair with his neighbor isn’t part of the plan, but the attraction between them is too hard to ignore.

But when Simon’s ex follows him to Pennsylvania to reconcile, and Charlie’s life starts to feel like a video on repeat, everything comes apart. Charlie fears that he’s failing as a father, and Simon is a distraction he can’t afford. Meanwhile Simon doesn’t know if he could survive being left again, and he hasn’t come all this way to make the same mistakes. Despite their fears, it’s only together that they’ll find the strength to slay old foes and build the forever they’ve been waiting for.
