Who Killed Gary?
SDP author, Sahar Abdulaziz, has a new novel out today called Who Killed Gary? As we’ve come to expect from our resident satirist, the story is a blend of mystery, mayhem, humor, and social commentary. Who Killed Gary? Available now through Amazon and Kindle Unlimited! ~ Behind the Book ~ Sometimes book ideas are plentiful and plop into our writer’s laps like pixy stardust. Other times, a character will spam our creative wavelength, and the next thing you know, we’re banging keys (and heads) at our computers.

BLOG POST FROM SHAGGY DOG AUTHOR SUSAN MOORE JORDAN
And This Shall Be for Music, my new novel, had been “percolating” for some time. I had begun the tale in 2017, but soon realized the book needed to be put on the back burner for a while. Four years and eight mystery novels later, the protagonist, Lindsey Cameron, reminded me she was waiting to tell her story. This time, even though it took a nearly a year and many re-writes, Lindsey was able to complete her journey. In my new blog post, read more about what this author experienced and learned from her characters and what happened to them. And how music, the center of their lives, never failed…

New Release: Sundays with Oliver
I’ve been talking about this book for so long that there shouldn’t be a lot left to say. But, hey, this is me. I can always find another word or two. Sundays with Oliver feels very much like the next logical step in my journey as a writer. Once again, I draw on my own life as a jump-off point as my daughter packed up her life and went away to college. I then went on to explore other aspects of mid-life: Becoming an empty nester Having adult children Taking a moment (or twenty) to look back at everything you’ve done and wonder: has it been enough? Learning to come to terms with…
