I'm writing today to thank my fellow roses and intend to make this a regular feature. Roses refer to all authors who write for the traditional publisher, The Wild Rose Press. I asked them to tell me about their book and offer a short description. What you'll check out is wonderful samples of the quality of The Wild Rose Press authors.
BROOME ENIGMA by Meryl Tobin
At the holiday village where she is staying, she meets Joe, a young man who works there. Despite the strong attraction between them, the many unknowns about his earlier life keep them apart. To try to uncover his mysterious past, they travel to Perth and back to Broome and are drawn into not only bizarre but also dangerous situations.
Is Joe the person Jodie thinks he is, or is he some alter ego? Can she stop their relationship from developing until she knows whether he is free to love her?
Middle-aged Philadelphia Private Investigator Phil Allman is writing a detective novel. And he is determined to have it published by a major house. No matter what it takes.
Rachel Arison is Senior Vice President of Fiction at Bryce Douglas. And was a high school classmate of Phil’s. When he compels her to publish his book by taking her hostage, she acquiesces in part because she has an agenda of her own. Their uneasy arrangement takes several surprising turns along the way.
The Last Shot is a suspenseful and often funny elegy about the challenges of getting older while trying to make a dream come true before it is too late. It is also a book within a book; Phil’s novel is a chronicle of his abduction of Rachel and its aftermath.
The Last Shot is the ninth in the series of Phil Allman mysteries; unlike the protagonists of many mystery novels, Phil is certainly no hero, but you can’t help but root for him.
