Not So Casual Friday
If you read the Blackbird Sisters Mysteries, you know Nora spends most of her evenings out on the town--attending all kinds of social events. On Fridays, she tends to show up at elegant, black tie occasions. What's a down-on-her-luck girl supposed to wear on nights like this? She raids her grandmama's collection of vintage couture, of course. Here's one of her not-so-casual Friday evening outfits. This one, Galliano.

Vacation!
Vacation!
That's what I get now that I've finished the new book for Minotaur. I'm taking a week to read and play with my grandchildren-----Yay!
Then I'll be plunging into the next Blackbird book---#9, which doesn't have a title yet. I love beginnings, so the new pages will be fun to write. My biggest concern: What will Libby's new obsession be??
Meanwhile, if you own a Nook and have read MICK ABRUZZO'S STORY yet, here's the link.

Do you own a Kindle? MICK ABRUZZO'S STORY is now availabe for all Kindle reading devices. Click here to purchase your copy. This novella is the story of how Mick Abruzzo first became acquainted with Nora Blackbird, and I think you'll find a few surprises. Once you're read this story, I'm told many readers go back to re-read the whole series. I think this story will change your view of much of the Blackbird world.
This novella is priced at $1.99 because it's not a full-length novel. It's longer than a short story, though, so we're calling it a novella.
The story will soon be available for all reading devices--the Nook, the iPad, the Sony reader and the Kobo.
Don't have an e-reader? Did you know you can download a Kindle app for your cell phone or your home computer? (The app is free!) I hope you enjoy!
The Blackbird Sisters Mysteries,
written by Nancy Martin, feature
Nora, Libby and Emma Blackbird,
three Philadelphia heiresses whose
parents have run off with their trust
funds, forcing all three women
to get jobs for the first time in their
lives. Nora Blackbird becomes
the assistant to a newspaper society
columnist and attends parties
for a living. Unfortunately, Nora
also stumbles over a lot of dead
bodies while she's covering
the social scene on the Main Line.
Follow Nora's amateur sleuthing
as she solves crimes of fashion
as well as aristocratic murder!
