INTRODUCTION
I love becoming part of the story and characters. I am hoping to bring my love of books to my readers.
I love reading different genres such as paranormal, young adult, romance, romantic suspense, mystery, Christian fiction, some horror, etc. The list goes on. I started reviewing books a couple of years ago and have done reviews for different blogs and even some authors. I really have enjoyed reviewing books and I will continue to do so. If anyone is interested in me reviewing a book for them, please contact me. I still have a lot to learn regarding my own blog so bear with me. I welcome and appreciate all followers.

Deaf Row Book Tour and Giveaway
Deaf Row
by Ron Franscell
Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Crime Fiction
Retired
from a big-city homicide beat to a small Colorado mountain town,
ex-detective Woodrow "Mountain" Bell yearns only to fade
away. He's failed in so many ways as a father, a husband, friend, and
cop that it might be too late for a meaningful life. When he stumbles
across a long-forgotten, unsolved child murder, his first impulse is
to let it lie ... but he can't. He's drawn into the macabre mystery
when he realizes the killer might still be near. Without help from
ambivalent local cops, Bell must overcome the obstacles of time, age,
and a lack of police resources by calling upon the unique skills of
the end-of-the-road codgers he meets for coffee every morning—a
club of old guys who call themselves Deaf Row. Soon, this
mottled crew finds itself on a collision course with a serial
butcher.
|DEAF
ROW is
more than a tense mystery novel, more than an unnerving psychological
thriller drawn from Ron
Franscell's career
as a bestselling true-crime writer and journalist. It is also a novel
of men pushing back against time and death, trying not to disappear
entirely. DEAF
ROW is
a moving, occasionally humorous, portrait of flawed people caught in
a web of pain and regret. And although you might think you know where
this ghastly case is headed, the climax will blindside you.
Amazon * Audiobook * B&N * Goodreads
A veteran journalist, Ron Franscell is the New York Times bestselling author of 18 books, including international bestsellers “The Darkest Night” and Edgar-nominated true crime “Morgue: A Life in Death.” His newest, “ShadowMan: An Elusive Psycho Killer and the Birth of FBI Profiling,” was released in March by Berkley/Penguin-Random House.
His atmospheric and muscular writing—hailed by Ann Rule, Vincent Bugliosi, William Least-Heat Moon, and others—has established him as one of the most provocative American voices in narrative nonfiction.
Ron’s first book, “Angel Fire,” was a USA Today bestselling literary novel listed by the San Francisco Chronicle among the 100 Best Novels of the 20th Century West. His later success grew from blending techniques of fiction-writing with his daily journalism. The result was dramatic, detailed, and utterly true storytelling.
Ron has established himself as a plucky reporter, too. As a senior writer at the Denver Post, he covered the evolution of the American West but shortly after 9/11, he was dispatched by the Post to cover the Middle East during the first months of the War on Terror. In 2004, he covered devastating Hurricane Rita from inside the storm.
His book reviews and essays have been widely published in many of America’s biggest and best newspapers, such as the Washington Post, Chicago Sun-Times, San Francisco Chronicle, San Jose Mercury-News, St. Louis Post-Dispatch, Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and others. He has been a guest on CNN, Fox News, NPR, the Today Show, ABC News, and he appears regularly on crime documentaries at Investigation Discovery, Oxygen, History Channel, Reelz, and A&E.
He lives in northern New Mexico.
