Yesterday was Cinco de Mayo. (Spanish for "Just mustard, please.")
Then what's a good reason for partying today, May 6, 2014? (Well, it's the tenth anniversary of the "Friends" series finale . . .)
Benighted mortals! Today is the official publication day of This Private Plot, the third title in the somewhat optimistically styled "Oliver Swithin Mystery Decalogy," although if I continue at this rate, I'll be 107 before Oliver and Effie get to third base.*
Anyway, don't waste your time reading this blog entry. Go and buy it! Now! (We cozy authors are tough.)
Or better still, mail me $5 directly, then you don't have to read it.
The other titles are also out in paperback today, for the first time. Buy them too.
*Just kidding, that happened between An Embarrassment of Corpses and Murdering Ministers. But most of This Private Plot is about Oliver's failure to score a home run in the bedroom of his childhood.
Thanks for the reminder, Alan! I definitely enjoyed the first two several years ago and have been hoping that they would be reissued as ebooks along with the publication of This Private Plot.
ReplyDeleteI had to go to Poisoned Press website, however, to discover that Amazon did, in fact, have them as ebooks. When I search for "Alan Beechey" on the Kindle store on Amazon, all I get is "Murdering Ministers." When I drop the third "e" of your last name and search for "Beechy" on Amazon, I am able to find the remaining two -- An Embarassment of Corpses and the new This Private Plot.
A little extra work, but that's OK, I'm glad to have them all now. While I still prefer hard copy books, you can't beat ebooks for storage space and for traveling...

Thank you for your comment and your suggestions, Marcia. Frankly, I didn't even know that the older books were also being released as e-books, although I did notice a Nook edition the other day. I'll follow up with Amazon and get the spelling sorted out (a variation on my name that has plagued me since my Elementary Swimming Certificate).
