Hooray!  I have a review for my book, Betwixt and Between, to share with you....

"Betwixt and Between is entertaining enough as an adult read, so I can imagine that the targeted age group will better relate to the characters and the quest.  I must say it kept me entertained on a leg of my recent flight to Alaska, and I was grateful for the company.  For me the book was an adventure, not just a read meant for a younger audience.  I enjoyed the journey.
The title represents the place where main character, Michael, is transported.  The author’s stunning description of how Michael gets to such point will leave you breathless and gasping for air.  I thought the temptation between good and evil was well relayed, and I think the message the author intends to deliver will be easily accomplished.  If my grandson was older, I would gladly have him read this story.  I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this as a great gift for young readers.  Well done, Ms. DeLuca!"

NEW MYSTERY SERIES

Our first guest to this site is Heather Haven, a talented writer who is also my cousin.  The first two novels of her new series, The Alvarez Family Murder Mysteries, will keep you captivated to the last page.  Start with  Murder is a Family Business, and go on to enjoy her second book, A Wedding To Die For.   If you’re looking for wit, humor, and suspense in the books you read, this series is for you. 

                                                                

Welcome to the Family! And when the Alvarez clan is not is not solving murders, they run Discretionary Inquiries, a successful Silicon Valley agency that normally deals with the theft of intellectual property and computer software.
Murder is a Family Business, A Wedding to Die For, and the soon to come Death Runs in the Family are part of the humorous mystery series revolving around Lee Alvarez, a combination of Sue Graftonʼs Kinsey Millhone and Janet Evanovitchʼ Stephanie Plum. Completing the Alvarez Family is Leeʼs Never-Had-A-Bad-Hair-Day aristocratic mother, Lila; computer genius brother, Richard; beloved uncle “Tio;” and her energetic orange and white cat, Tugger. These whodunit novels explore familial love -- the good, the bad and the annoying.
