For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.

Synopsis:
Police sergeant Merryll Manning is on vacation on an island in the Florida Keys for a Murder Mystery weekend. The plan is to solve the mystery and win a cash prize of $5,000.00. Easier said than done. Merry has his teenage-looking girlfriend Susan Ford along for the trip. Susan isn't above using her sexuality to keep Merryll flustered and under her thumb.

Hi Gautami - that is a good mysterious teaser :)
My teaser is at e-Volving Books
This week, I started a new feature - spotlighting bloggers with ereaders, and have an author-sponsored Kindle giveaway!
They sound in shock, great teaser.
I think you will like the 1st book Manufactured Identity.
very intriguing! what happened to him?
I can hear the emotion in that statement. I've never found a dead body. I don't wish to find one either. lol.

I have a feeling the smashed up room part isn't supposed to make me smile. Oh well.
Very mysterious and alluring!

Great teaser. I want to know more.
Sounds sad:(What happened to him?
Here is my teaser from "The Lodestone Book One: The Sea of Storms" by Mark Whiteway (Prologue):
It was early in the afternoon, when Kal first saw the flying rock.
Well, perhaps "flying" was a slight exaggeration; a subtle embellishment that he might have used later when trying to impress his younger brother, or his friends after third-day prayers. It was a least enough to break Kal out of his reverie. Hymarr's reaction was the last thing he had expected.
He has been rehearsing in his mind for days beforehand how he would ask her to accompany him to the Spring Gratitude Service. That morning, as he lay in his bedchamber, before even Ali-Gan, the yellow sun, has risen over the western horizon, he determined that today was going to be the day.
Awesome teaser! I love stories that take place in Florida...especially the Keys.
Not the sort of happening that makes for a great vacation. Great teaser - sounds like s good read.
Wow = go on a mystery weekend and find a body? nice tease. :)

The teaser is great. I love the part in the synopsis about his teenaged looking girlfriend. That's so random!
Sounds great. I have been in a mystery mood lately.

Great teaser!
Thanks for stopping by on my blog <3
this one looks creepy! thanks for sharing!
"he's really dead"? So can you have different types of dead? LOL!!!!
Like your teaser
I get the feeling he's dead, it's only a hunch mind you.
crikey - it reminds me of an Inspector Morse episode where a murder mystery weekend does involve an actual murder. Great teaser!
Great teaser!
hmmmm.. now I wonder if the dead guy is real or part of the game? Thanks for the teaser!
