On Saturday, Aug. 3, the Oceanside Barnes & Noble (barnesandnoble.com) will hold a special local author signing event. The event includes authors who write in a variety of genres, including fiction and non fiction. The authors who will be participating in the event include Erik Hendrix, Maria Desiderata Montana, Thomas Morrow, Eddie Osterland, Sarah Richmond, Masako Streling, and me.
I will sign and discuss my suspense novel “License to Lie” and my funny Hawaiian mystery, “Photo Finish.” In “License to Lie,” a con artist and a criminologist join forces to solve a kidnapping and learn that with $5,000,000 and their lives on the line, they can’t trust a soul—even their own. “Photo Finish” is about a former skip tracer who crosses paths with a beautiful con artist in Honolulu and finds himself chasing a missing airplane, unmasking a crooked land developer, and tracking down an island killer. Trouble? Oh, yeah. McKenna’s found it. If only trouble didn’t have such great legs
Erik Hendrix writes comics and describes himself as a mad-scientist creator and world-builder. He will be present to discuss and sign “Sideshow,” “The Book,” and “The Evil Tree.”
Maria Desiderata Montana is the publisher of the award-winning food blog San Diego Food Finds (sandiegofoodfinds.com). She is also a published author, editor, and award-winning freelance food and wine journalist who learned how to cook and appreciate European cuisine from her parents, who were born and raised in Calabria, Italy. Maria is the author of “Food Lovers’ Guide to San Diego” and “San Diego Chef’s Table.” She’ll be signing copies of both at the event.
Thomas Morrow has won numerous journalism awards since 1968, including “National Suburban Journalist of the Year” for 1973, presented by the Suburban Newspapers of America. His historical novel, “Nebraska Doppelganger” is based on the fact that several hundred American men and women found themselves on the wrong side of the fighting when the United States entered World War II in 1941. Many of these Americans were immigrants or sons and daughters of immigrants visiting relatives in their respective homelands of Japan, Italy, and Germany. Little did they know that soon they would be facing their fellow Americans.
Eddie Osterland (www.eddieosterland.com) became America’s first Master Sommelier in 1973. Today, he shares his knowledge and, according to his website, sees himself on a mission “to change the world one meal at a time.” Osterland’s “Power Entertaining” defines this art as “using great wine, food and hospitality as the currency for creating unforgettable events, fostering strong business relationships, and instilling in people the desire to do business with you and your company or organization.”
Sarah Richmond (www.sarahrichmond.com) writes historical romance and will be signing her novels “Dulcie Crowder Gets Her Man” and “A Most Ineligible Suitor.” In “A Most Ineligible Suitor,” a wealthy heiress who is about to wed a well-heeled bachelor is attracted to an undercover agent in pursuit of a notorious jewel thief. The agent must maintain his cover or have his entire investigation exposed. In “Dulcie Crowder Gets Her Man,” a young woman whose father recently died is looking for a husband when she discovers corruption in the judiciary during the trial of a friend. She turns to a handsome deputy for help, but as she works for justice, will Dulcie jeopardize her chances for love?
Masako Streling was born in a poor fishing village under difficult circumstances. Unable to reconcile herself to the many roles within roles imposed upon her, and feeling in her heart that she was destined to make a difference, she embarked on a lifelong journey of growth and self-discovery. “I Thought The Sun Was God” is her story of faith’s eventual triumph over deprivation, denial, and rejection.
