Her tribute to Halloween: Lady Justice and the Mystery Mansion. New release!

Lady Justice and the Mystery Mansion by [Thornhill, Robert]

I can't help thinking about the famous Scooby Do episode where they solved a mystery at a haunted house. Except there is no Great Dane who sort of talks to help this couple. Walt and Maggie want to restore the mansion they bought to its former glory. They didn't know about the curse. This is one of many Lady Justice books by Robert Thornhill.

Click here to watch the mansion owners unravel the mystery.

Twice as Fatal: Perfect for football season! And it's $3.99.


I was just feeling happy about my favorite kind of day: a cool, clear, crisp October day. Sunny, but with just the right amount of warmth when the sun is up. This is my favorite time of year with marching bands, autumn leaves and pumpkin muffins. With the book I'm blogging about, I need to slip out of the rosy descriptions and talk about the down side of the season, namely a college football star being blackmailed. This isn't the only tough assignment for Jarvis Mann, P.I.

Here's more:

Ray Malone is a promising college football star whose career is derailed by injuries. When he disappears, close friend Jarvis is recruited by Ray’s father to locate him. After tracking him down a video is sent of Ray with the warning of it going public, threatening his career and those that love him. 
Case two has landlord Kate Tanner hiring Jarvis to gather evidence against her cheating, thieving husband so she can divorce him. As Jarvis investigates he learns of the husband’s connection to a powerful man, with a dangerously perverted agenda that crosses into Kate’s life with deadly consequences.
Across the Rocky Mountain Front Range Jarvis tries to balance both cases, each dragging him deeper into different sleazy underworlds, jeopardizing him, his clients and their families. With danger and death all around him, he somehow must rescue everyone before this fatal business claims the lives of all involved, his life and the one he is growing to love.

Seeking Asylum.

migration stories

Yvette Grimm comes to Australia on a tourist visa which is running out. She does not want to 'get married for a Green Card' as we say in the United States. A psychic said she would meet the father of her children by the time she's 30 and she's 29. Will she be able to stay? At what cost?

I went on author Isobel Blackthorn's website and read about Asylum. While doing so, I came across a few paragraphs on why Isobel wrote the book. I found it quite interesting, so I'm sharing it with you.

WHY I WROTE THE NOVEL ASYLUM


Asylum, started life in 2012 and is semi-autobiographical in that the protagonist, Yvette Grimm is a British-born visa overstayer seeking refuge in Australia and so was I. Although that is where the similarities end.
Migration stories are often painful and fraught, and Yvette’s is typical of what migrants go through when they try to sidestep the rules. Yvette’s story is juxtaposed with the conditions asylum seekers arriving by boat face in offshore camps. The story is ironic, Yvette’s suffering of her own making and really rather trivial in the wider scheme of things.
At the time of writing I was involved in helping asylum seekers, especially those who had made it to Australia on bridging visas. It was a gnawing sense of injustice that caused me to keep working on Asylum,motivated by a wish to make a contribution in raising awareness of the issue. Although it is not a book about asylum seekers. It is a story of belonging and alienation, a coming of age story.
