This Is Me--2024 A to Z Theme

My A to Z Themes in the past have covered a range of topics and for 2024 the theme is a personal retrospective that I call "I Coulda Been" which is in reference to my job and career arc over my lifetime. I'll be looking at all sorts of occupations that I have done or could have done. Maybe you've done some of these too!

Nancy Thompson book release

        Due to an illness in my family I am away from my blog this week.  Fortunately Nancy Thompson is here to stand in for me.  She's got a new book out.  For the buy links be sure to go to her blog.




Thank you, Arlee, for allowing me to ‘jack your blog.  You’ve given me the perfect opportunity to share with all your peeps and bird watchers something I’ve wanted for many months but didn’t have the tech skills to pull off myself.  All the credit for this little production goes to Carrie Butler.  She impressed me with her own book trailer, and, after some major sucking up on my part, offered to make me one of my own.  I provided the script, the music, and an idea for the background and Carrie did her magic like only she can do. 

So without further ado, I give you the book trailer for my debut novel. THE MISTAKEN, a psychological thriller released October 18, 2012 from Sapphire Star Publishing…


Visit Nancy’s blog, follow, and leave a comment during her book tour for a chance to win an ARC of The Mistaken.  Plus, 5 runner-up winners will each receive an ebook.  See Nancy’s blog for current buy links.  

You can also find her on her publisher’s website, Goodreads, Twitter, and Facebook

Early praise for The Mistaken:

“A deliciously slow burn that builds to a ferocious crescendo, Nancy S. Thompson's THE MISTAKEN kept me riveted until the very last page. Tyler Karras is a complex and flawed protagonist, and his redemptive journey makes him the perfect anti-hero. This psychological suspense is a standout, and I can't wait for Thompson's next book.”
~ Jennifer Hillier, author of CREEP and FREAK

“Nancy S. Thompson's debut novel, The Mistaken, is a first-rate thriller full of hair-raising twists and turns.  Pursued by the police and the Russian mafia in San Francisco, brothers Tyler and Nick Karras are fascinating, fully-drawn, desperate characters.  The action is non-stop.  Thompson's taut, intriguing tale of revenge, mistaken identity, kidnapping and murder will keep you enthralled and entertained.” 
~Kevin O’Brien, New York Times Bestselling Author of DISTURBED and TERRIFIED

“Fast-paced and emotionally gripping - once the ride begins, you won't stop reading until it ends."  ~Alex J. Cavanaugh, author of CASSAFIRE and CASSASTAR

  3. This book sounds so good based off the trailer, I love the sounds of it and the vibes it gives me. By the way Lee I've included you in my Top Three Thursdays for this week, hopefully that helps cheer you up a little when you're back, after what you've had to deal with the last week you deserve it.

  8. I know it's going to be hard picking a winner, and I want everyone to win, but ... I'm way up here in Canada and well, it's the North. Everyone knows it's very cold in the north and we spend a lot of time cold. So, it makes sense that Joylene needs books to keep her company because it's so cold that she's home by the fire a lot, and a good book... well, it would be such a nice thing while she's sitting by the fire, stoking the fires, keeping the home front warm. Oh, poor Joylene. Books, she needs books!!! Poor, poor girl. Pity, she needs pity... and Nancy's book!
