Author: R.Weir

Hello everyone. I wanted to start by apologizing for the duplicate newsletter, which went out on April 22nd. I moved the RWeir.net website over to my new webhost, Hostinger, and my newsletter sending application, Mailerlite, thought it was a new newsletter and emailed it. This was something I thought about, but neglected to turn off the automatic send function. Live and learn. I did get a fantastic amount of opens on the newsletter, even though it went out earlier in the month. If you had missed it the first time, hopefully, you gave it a read the second time around. I’ll do my best not to let it happen again! 🙂

Part of the migration will include a brand new website, with a new domain and email address, which I’m still working through. The old website and email will remain live for quite a while and will be forwarded to the new one once the new site goes live. All the changes should give you a more modern and better experience than the old site, which was about 9 years old and had become too large and hard to navigate. I’m hoping to improve this with the new site. When it does go live, it won’t be fully functional at first, especially when it comes to the E-Commerce functions I’m planning. But those will be in place over time. One of the key features is being able to stage a backup of the new website, where I can add functions and troubleshoot it without affecting the live site. Once the tested changes are fully operational, it’s a simple flip of a setting, and the changes are brought online. Which makes this a win, win for me. Below is a screen capture of part of the Home Page to give you an idea of how it will look.

In the meantime, I scaled back the old site, giving it fewer menus, including putting all the book menus under one main menu. When you click on R. Weir Books, you’ll get sub-menus listing all of my book series, including audiobooks, book previews, and the order form to purchase paperbacks directly from me. Hopefully, this will simplify the old site until the new one is ready to launch. You can find the website via this link.

Besides the website, which has been a learning experience, I’ve been busy with other projects. Working on the yard as the weather has warmed up, and thankfully, we’ve been getting some rain, though it still has been quite dry. Here are a few pictures of our blooming flowers.

For the last several weeks, Dakota and I have been participating in the Westminster Citizens Fire Academy. It’s been eye-opening learning about the life of a firefighter and the work and challenges they encounter. Here are a few pictures of Dakota and me in full firefighting gear. And I’ve included other photos under the Fun Stuff Tab via this link.

Below you’ll see my new tattoo of the logo for the Steel Wheels Cold Mystery book series. As you can see, it’s still healing. But I think it turned out great. I now have two tattoos from two of my book series; the only one missing being the Jarvis Mann logo. I may have to add it to my other arm in a similar location.

A few weeks back, I met with some wonderful folks who formed a book club here in Westminster. The group decided to read my award-winning book, The Front Range Butcher. I had a fabulous time, with the host, Cindy, providing dinner. After dinner, Cindy asked questions of the group and me about the book. If you have a book club, I’d love and come and talk with you if you live here along the Colorado Front Range. If you live outside the area, I can also join you remotely. Just email me and we can work out the details.

I received a lovely email from Tammie, who wanted to tell me she enjoyed the signed book, Tracking A Shadow, that she purchased at an event. She wanted to leave a review on Amazon but had no idea how to post one, so I thought I’d share it with you.

I just wanted to tell you that I just finished reading my autographed copy of Tracking a Shadow. I loved it!! I loved all the Denver references. It was fun to picture myself in those locations. The part where he was at Everett and 1st Avenue was so fun to read as that’s my old neighborhood.

If you haven’t picked up my newest release, Justice For The Forgotten, you can find it on eBook, paperback, and it’s available on Kindle Unlimited. If you want a signed paperback copy, you can order it from my website by filling out and submitting the form. Here are three new 5-Star reviews if you’re on the fence about purchasing.

I enjoyed watching the growth of the plot which made it easy to read and entertaining as well. This is a fast paced, engaging story and a must read. This is one you don’t want to miss. I look forward to seeing more from this series in the future – Bobbi

One of the things I loved most about this book is how Mr. Weir tackles the themes of justice and redemption. It’s not just about crime & investigation, or catching the bad guys- it’s also about giving a voice to the voiceless and righting the wrongs of the past – Angela

This is such a great book and I highly recommend especially if you love a good mystery with plenty of twists and turns along the way! I am very excited to what the next book as in store for this series and with Donnie and Kogel – Lorralei

I continue to book some great guests for the Bringing Life To Characters podcast. In April, I interviewed Cynthia Swanson, Jodi Burnett, and Aaron Philip Clark. In May, I currently have scheduled Patricia Raybon (May 12th at 6 PM), Ann Parker (May 19th at 6 PM Mountain), and Mark Stevens (May 27th at 6 PM). Ann had to postpone her appearance on the show twice because she and her husband were sick. I’m keeping my fingers crossed this time she’ll be on the show. You can find all of my interviews on my YouTube Page.

Though I’ve only done three shows to date this year, I’ve had three winners of $10 Amazon Gift Cards for stopping by my table, the winners being Mary, Sue, and Diana. They’ve all been contacted and received their gift cards. Congratulations to them. And here are a couple of photos of book buyers from recent events.

My next big author event will be the TropiCon Book Expo & Writing Convention in Branson, Missouri. A long drive ahead of us, but we’re looking forward to meeting new authors and book readers. I’ll be part of the Detective For A Day event, where I get to use my acting chops and play a murder suspect, with everyone in the audience following the clues to decide who the killer is, which should be a lot of fun. And I’ll be on a Vodcasting panel discussing video podcasting. If you’re interested in going to the event, tickets are still available via this link. But hurry, for it begins this Thursday, May 8th.

The new Book Funnel links I’ve been providing have been a magnificent success. Thanks to everyone who has taken advantage of all these wonderful books provided by great authors, and who are new to this newsletter. A hearty Welcome to you all!! Here are a few more this month. I hope you’ll check them out.

Mother’s Day FREE eBooks has 66 free ebooks in various Mystery genres you can download here.

Mystery, Thriller, & Suspense Freebies has 85 free ebooks you can download here.

This month, I’m featuring author Jodi Burnett. Jodi is a Colorado native and a mountain girl at heart. She loves writing Mystery and Suspense Thrillers from her small ranch southeast of Denver, where she lives with her husband and their two big dogs. There she dotes on her horses, complains about her cows, and writes to create a home for her imaginings. Burnett is a member of Novelists, Inc. and Sisters in Crime. Get free books by Jodi on her website. And she has her bookstore with great deals on eBooks, paperbacks, and audiobooks from all of her series. Below is one of her most popular.

Caitlyn Reed and her dog, Renegade, are thrown into the midst of murder and intrigue when they discover a dead body while on a trail ride in the black hills of Wyoming. The local sheriff is hell bent on a conviction, and Caitlyn’s brother, Dylan, is in his crosshairs. Desperate to prove his innocence, Caitlyn turns to Deputy Colt Branson for help, but she must grapple with their rocky romantic past to gain his aid. As Caitlyn and Renegade pursue the killer, the investigation catapults their lives in a dangerous new direction, one with mysterious strangers, convoluted clues, and deadly violence. In a whip-cracking turn of events, Caitlyn finds herself under suspicion. When all the chips fall, Caitlyn uncovers shocking evidence that rocks their small-town community to its core. If you like twist and turn plot lines woven with danger, mystery and suspense, you will love Renegade — Book 1 of the Tin Star K9 Series.

I will wrap up the newsletter and get back to designing the new website. Though it’s taking me away from working on my new book, so I’ll probably take a break and get back to the next Jarvis Mann detective story once I return from Branson. For Jarvis is bugging me to get on with the plot! For the foreseeable future, I’ll likely be bouncing back and forth between the two!! I’ll return next month with an update.

All the best!!

Kim and I had a great time at Left Coast Crime in Denver. I had the pleasure of being on a panel discussing Crime In Colorado from an author’s perspective, with four other fabulous Colorado Crime Authors. From the left: Marie Sutro (Moderator), Patricia Raybon, Helen Starbuck and Cynthia Swanson. I attended several other panels where I learned a great deal about those authors and their journeys, and tips on marketing and podcasting. I got to interact in person with author friends and make new ones, several who agreed to be interviewed in the future on my podcast, Bringing Life To Characters. All in all, it was an exciting and exhausting four days. Here are a few pictures from the event. You can find more on my website.

In March I released my new book, Justice For The Forgotten. When starting a new series, as an author there is always a concern of if the new idea and characters are compelling and different enough from your previous works. Finding the confidence that you can build a new world successfully. When I first started out writing Justice For The Forgotten (which wasn’t the original title), I solicited feedback from Alpha Readers. Sending them extremely rough chapters a few at a time. Both of those Alpha Readers gave me some good insight. Ultimately I had to gain confidence in the story as it evolved. I often write several chapters in a blur, and then go back to the beginning to read what I’ve written. I will say that as I got further into the book, I gained confidence that I’d created an excellent beginning to the new series, with some compelling new characters. It is the most emotional and in many cases, spiritual book I’ve ever written. One I’m quite proud of. I hope you’ve picked up a copy and enjoyed reading this new story. The eBook and paperback can be found on Amazon, and it’s available on Kindle Unlimited. Or you can order a signed copy through my website to be shipped to your home (US Only).

Here are a couple new 5-star reviews for Justice For The Forgotten:

Donnie is a new character, and I hope there will more Steel Wheels Mysteries to come. It’s dramatic, action-packed, and yet, also emotional and shows a level of humanity that makes the story incredible and captivating. I am liking Steel, and his approach to life, and determination to push through the pain. Unpredictable, with twists all the way to the end. A reader can get lost in the story – Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews

The fast-moving plot combines well-developed characters and an emotional backbone to create a page-turning tale in Justice For The Forgotten. I highly recommend this book for readers who enjoy complex mystery books about corruption and perseverance. I can’t wait to read the next book in this fascinating series – Gina

The story has many unexpected twists and surprises, especially dealing with the Colorado community who follows their own laws. Donnie makes friends and enemies along the way, always reflecting back on his life and cold cases. By the end of the book, it’s obvious he’s going to continue to chase down cold cases and perhaps, again seek out Berke to help. A great start to a new series – Christa

In previous newsletters I’ve talked about new ways I’m trying to promote my books for more sales. The best way for people to read my books and then share their experiences with other readers. Either by word of mouth or posting reviews. For everyone out there who has done this, I send a hardy thank you. If you’ve enjoyed one of my stories, shout it from the mountain tops!!

This month the plan is to move my website to another hosting service. I’m not expecting any issues, but if there is any downtime, it should be minimal. Once it’s moved, I’ll begin staging my new website. My hope is for a more modern and professional look, with many of the same pages and content I have now. It will have an e-commerce tab where people can purchase signed paperbacks and possibly other merchandise, including t-shirts, hats, and coffee mugs with my various logos. So stay tuned for more details. If there are other items you’d be interested in purchasing, send me an email with your thoughts.

To get more readers, in the past I’ve done promos for free or discounted books. The first two books in the Jarvis Mann PI series, still remain free for anyone who signs up for my newsletter. If you’ve already downloaded and read The Case of the Missing Bubble Gum Card and Tracking A Shadow, thank you. If you haven’t and you’re subscribed to the newsletter, you can download them via these two links: The Case of the Missing Bubble Gum Card and Tracking A Shadow. Keep your eye open for other special deals I have planned.

I have several BookFunnel promos to share this month, all featuring books of mine and many other wonderful authors. Downloads via the links I provided last month were great. I hope you’ll take advantage of these books, many of which are free and/or available on Kindle Unlimited.

Spring Freebies: Mystery and Suspense: With 63 free ebooks you can find them via this LINK!

Mystery, Thriller, & Suspense Freebies: With 112 free eBooks to check out via this LINK!

April Kindle Unlimited Mystery, Thriller, Suspense, & Crime Reads: All 89 books are available to purchase or read for free on Kindle Unlimited. Find them via this LINK!

April Crime Box Set; These are all crime box sets of thrilling books, all at a great price. Find all 8 via this LINK!

In April I have two craft fairs I’ll be attending to sell my books. Information is below. These will be the last craft fairs I’ll be a vendor at until September.

It’s hard to believe, but it will be one year in April since I started my author interview podcast, Bringing Life to Characters, with show number 30 recording in April. In March, I had the pleasure of interviewing Manuel Ramos, Sara Paretsky, Lori Roberts Herbst, and Scott Graham. You can watch and subscribe to all these recordings on my YouTube page. And keep your eye open in April, as I’ll be interviewing Ann Parker, Jodi Burnett, and Aaron Philip Clark.

For past shows, I’ve used the application Streamyard to stream my podcasts live; while recording and uploading them to my YouTube page. Streamyard more than doubled its price, so I had to start looking for a new platform to use. After a great deal of research and testing, the new platform I’ll be using is EVMUX. It has a lot of capability and the cost is in line with what I’d paid for Streamyard before their price increase. My show with Scott Graham was the first live show where I used EVMUX and it worked with no apparent issues. I’m keeping my fingers crossed future shows run as smoothly.

This month’s featured author is: Renne Pawlish. Here is her bio:

Whether I’m writing about a wisecracking PI solving cases in present-day Denver, his equally clever counterpart in 1950s Denver, a tenacious female homicide detective who never gives up on a case, a former military woman finding trouble (or it finding her), or a novice senior spy navigating international intrigue, my stories focus on the puzzles, not the gore. Think clever clues, quick thinking, and characters you’d actually want to have coffee with. Different times, different places, same promise: a good mystery that keeps you guessing—and keeping you turning pages long into the night.

You can find Renee and her books on her website, her new release Gunning For Justice on Amazon, and her new Evelyn Chambers Senior Spy Series with a free prequel ebook via this BookFunnel Link.

A fun photo, with a little doggie jealousy, as Nuka is not happy about Abby sitting with Kim while we watch TV. This is normally Nuka’s spot!!

I will end the newsletter with a thanks to all who’ve downloaded Justice For The Forgotten. If you enjoyed the book or any others I’ve written, I’d love to hear from you. Send me an email and I’ll be certain to reply back.

All the best!!

R Weir

Today is the day I release my new book, Justice For The Forgotten. If you pre-ordered the book, thank you so much. It should be available now to read on your Kindle or Kindle app. If you haven’t ordered yet, the 99-cent pre-order price is still available on Amazon until March 9th, when it will go up to $5.99. So get your copy today. If you like paperbacks, you can order from Amazon for $15.99 plus shipping, or a signed copy directly from my website for $15 plus $4 shipping (US Only). Just fill out the form and I’ll get it mailed out. Normally the next business day.

A little history about this new book. I had finished the Divine Devils series and was mulling working on a new series. I wanted it to be different in a few aspects, but still be in the Crime/Mystery genre. I had done the Westminster Citizen’s Police Academy and had talked to a few officers there, hearing some of their challenges. My wife made a suggestion about a person traveling to state parks in a motorhome who solves crimes. I thought the premise was a good idea, but I wanted to flesh it out, thinking it would be odd wherever he went, he ran into a crime. From there I decided on a retired Westminster police officer, who writes a blog about his days on the force and his personal life, as a form of therapy. It’s from this blog where a married couple contact him and he decides to take on a cold case murder. Their dead son, who society had forgotten, his parents in search of justice for the person or persons involved. From this was born the character Donnie Steel and his K-9 companion, Kogel. The book Justice For The Forgotten, the beginning of the Steel Wheels Cold Mystery series.

What makes this book different, is it’s a mixture of first-person and third-person writing. The blog chapters were written in first-person, from Donnie’s point of view, the other chapters are in third-person. I also added a spiritual aspect to the story, with Donnie’s faith being challenged after the death of his long-time wife Wendi, who passed away from cancer. It’s an emotional story while being thrilling at the same time. I hope you enjoy the beginning of this new series, which I’m quite proud of, as it’s some of my best work.

With each new release comes reviews. Here are three early reviews, the first an Editorial Review from Reader’s Favorite.

Donnie is an ex-cop who runs a blog and gets all kinds of requests. In Justice For The Forgotten by R. Weir, he gets one request that catches his eye, and, after a few replies, he decides to meet with the Riveras to hear about their case. After the meetup and some inquiries, Donnie realizes that the details of the case are fishy, from the intimidations to the shoddy investigations by Officer Warren. Enzo Rivera used to work in Rio Celeste before his untimely murder. The town of Rio Celeste is full of mysteries. They have their own paramilitary and do not recognize the authority of the state or federal government. How is everything connected, and will they succeed in stopping Donnie from continuing the investigation to give the Riveras the closure that they deserve?

Justice For The Forgotten by R. Weir is a must-read! The writing is engaging and filled with well-crafted dialogue that brings the story and the well-developed characters to life. I loved the mystery and how Weir utilized suspense to great effect, which kept me on the edge of my seat and looking forward to the events of subsequent chapters. This thought-provoking work also got me thinking about the criminal justice system and how sometimes access to justice can be denied. The plot flowed seamlessly, leaving no room for confusion, and the reader will also appreciate the excellent narration, which adds to the overall beauty of this work. This was an amazing read, and I look forward to reading something else by this talented author: Reviewed by Frank Mutuma for Readers’ Favorite.

It is gripping and, at points, brutal. You can feel the emotions of the characters and the tension of a given situation. It was a page-turner for me and at times I could hear myself say “This is not going to end well!” and “How are you going to get out of that Steel?” – Avis

This read captures you from chapter one. There are plenty of nail-biting moments that make you think that Donnie is not going to come out of. Mr. Weir creates a must-read story woven with deceit, corruption, murder, mystery, and suspense with two strong characters that do not give up – Shelly

I’ve been talking in the newsletter about changes I’m making to my marketing strategy. One change is that I’ve dropped Prolific Works and switched to Book Funnel. For a lower cost, it gives me a great deal more capability to give away free eBooks, create ARC (Advance Reader Copies) teams, and build my newsletter (Welcome to all the new readers!), especially with Group Promotions with other authors, which has already been a big success. Each month I will have links set up in the newsletter for you to check out, with the opportunity to receive free eBooks from authors of similar genres. The process to receive those books is easier, as they are sent directly to your email address or Kindle device. I will start off this month with several different promos for you to check out. Please click on the links, for not only do you get the opportunity to get free or discounted eBooks from other wonderful authors, but it also helps to build my reputation in Book Funnel which will allow me to take full advantage of its functionality. All you have to do is click on the hyperlink built into the giveaway title (normally underlined in blue) and it will take you to the page with all the available books to check out and download.

The first is March Crime – Short Stories and New Releases with 33 great short story eBooks to check out until March 31st.

Take the Darker Path Crime Thrillers Mystery and Suspense with 98 fabulous eBooks to check out until March 20th.

The link below is for Mystery/Thriller/Suspense books, a few of which are on sale and/or available on Kindle Unlimited. Clicking on the book title on the page will take you to the website hosting the book where you can purchase it. My book Justice For the Forgotten is included.

MAYHEM & MOTIVES: Mystery, Thriller, & Suspense Reads with 122 wonderful eBooks to browse through until March 31st.

Next is a link for a promo for several crime book series which are available on Kindle Unlimited. If you subscribe to KU you should check these out to add to your reading list, which includes my Divine Devils series.

Series Promotion – Crime Story March 2025 – Kindle Unlimited has 15 series to add to your KU reading list.

Another aspect of Book Funnel is how it works when someone signs up for my newsletter. Before I had to send the book to each person that signs up. Now new sign-ups get an email with the links to download the eBook automatically. I’ve now added two free eBooks for each user who signs up. The Case of the Missing Bubble Gum Card and Tracking A Shadow. If you didn’t get either of those eBooks when you signed up, you can easily download them now via the links embedded above in both book titles. These will only work if you’re already signed up for Book Funnel in conjunction with my Mailerlite service, which will verify your email address before allowing the download.

Another marketing tactic is getting my paperback books on shelves for people to find. Thanks to CAL (Colorado Author League), I was able to get six of my books, including Justice For The Forgotten, in a local coffee shop, along with several other CAL authors. A Creative Corner Coffee Shop is located at 3965 West 73rd Ave in Westminster, Colorado. If you live in the area, stop in and check out all the CAL books, and the other handmade crafts they sell there. Oh and yes they do have coffee too.

I’ve been working on getting more honest reviews for some of my previous books. Lethal Blues, book 9 in the Jarvis Mann PI series, recently got several new reviews. Here are snippets of a few of them.

You do not want to miss the twists and turns of this mystery. This is a fast-paced, hard to put down story that is easy to read and engaging – Bobbi.

With elements of murder, crime, danger, hidden agendas, gangs, drama, adventure, action, violence, drugs, and more, you will not be disappointed with Weir’s work – Jenni

Lethal Blues was a suspense-filled book that kept you intrigued and made it an easy read. Jarvis Mann’s witty personality and sarcastic comments made the book even more enjoyable – Lacie

You can also enjoy this reading of Chapter 1 of Lethal Blues on YouTube.

One event I have coming up is Left Coast Crime, held at the Denver Downtown Westin Hotel. I’m thrilled I’ll be on a panel with several other wonderful authors; the subject: Crime in Colorado, which will be held on March 13th from 1:15-2PM. One panelist, Helen Starbuck, has been a guest on my Bringing Life to Characters podcast. The others on the panel are, Marie Sutro, Patricia Raybon, and Cynthia Swanson. I’m hoping all will be guests on the podcast in the future. And I’ll have a few copies of my books available to purchase in the Left Coast Crime bookstore at the hotel.

As for Bringing Live to Characters, I’ve had several more wonderful guests this past month. I interviewed the sister writing team of Blythe Hudson and Carter Fielding, who were both on the other side of the world, where thankfully technology didn’t fail us. Next, it was Elizabeth Crowens where we talked about her life working in Hollywood and the movie industry and her wonderful books, many with real-life Hollywood Legends in the storyline. And then finally, I talked with Manual Ramos who is one of the guests of honor for Left Coast Crime. Future guests include award-winning and best-selling author Sara Paretsky on March 6th at 10AM Mountain time. Sara also is a guest of honor for Left Coast Crime. And then on March 11th at 6PM Mountain time I’ll have Lori Herbst, who will also be attending Left Coast Crime. You can find all my video interviews with these wonderful authors on my YouTube Page.

I will finish with one more plug to buy my new release, Justice For The Forgotten. If you’re still on the fence, you can check out the first three chapters, Prologue, Chapter 1, and Chapter 2 on my website. Be sure to share with your book-reading friends the incredible 99 cent deal for the eBook, which will expire March 9th. And of course I would love it if you’d leave an honest review on Amazon, Goodreads and BookBub.

All the best!!

R Weir

I’m getting to the fun time of year (he winks sarcastically!) when I sit down and do our taxes. This is where I see how much money I’ve spent to get my books in front of readers. A dollar amount that increases each year. The ROI (return on investment) has been low these last two years, which has been frustrating. This is where I will seriously look at other options to sell more books. Honestly, it’s a matter of getting all my books out there and in the hands of readers. Once people read my stories, I get good follow-through with them wanting to read more. The biggest problem is there are so many great books out there, and some not so great, to compete with. Trying to stand out in the crowd is challenging. But I plan on making a full-court press this year to bring more readers to my mystery, crime, and thriller stories.

This newsletter is a great way to keep in touch with readers. I’m working on ways to expand it as well, to get more people looking at my books. Doing marketing and promotions of various kinds. This will include paying email marketers to promote my books and Amazon Ads to place my books higher in their search engines. This will take time but needs to be done to make my business profitable and be able to make a full-time living as an author.

One other avenue for readers to find me is through the Kindle Unlimited Book Program. This is a great deal for readers, who pay a monthly or yearly fee, to read unlimited books, though only those available under the Kindle Unlimited Program. For authors to put their eBooks into the program, they can only be available on Amazon and nowhere else. Authors are then paid for the page reads, the amount which changes each month depending on many factors. Generally .003 to .004 per page. The money author’s receive isn’t as good as when someone buys the ebook. But it still adds up. All of my books are on Kindle Unlimited and available to those who subscribe. So if you’re on the Kindle Unlimited Program, please check out any of my books and read all the pages, including the front and back matter.

I’m pleased to announce I’ve set a release date for my new book, Justice for the Forgotten. It will be released on March 3rd. You can pre-order the eBook for the low price of 99 cents. A great discount on the regular price of $5.99. Order it now via this link and it will automatically download to your Kindle on March 3rd. Starting today you can order a signed paperback copy through my website for $15 plus $4 shipping (US Only). Orders through my website will be shipped once I receive author copies which should be in 2-3 weeks.

Here is the blurb for the book.

Justice for the Forgotten: A Steel Wheels Cold Mystery
For widower Donnie Steel
Grief is a powerful emotion and a dynamic motivator
The retired police officer crafting an online blog
Therapy to ease the anguish of his lost soulmate
Readers reaching out, requesting his help

While traveling in his RV, with his faithful K-9 companion, Kogel
He learns of a three-year-old cold case in Southern Colorado
The victim’s parents in search of answers to their son’s death
Upon further investigation, he discovers the case was purposely botched
Those in power doing all they can for the solution to remain buried

With relentless determination to go the extra mile
Heart and soul worn on his sleeve
And his highly trained K-9, fighting by his side
Donnie digs deep to go beyond his emotional and physical pain
To find Justice For The Forgotten

You can read three chapter previews for Justice for the Forgotten on my website. The Prologue, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2. And for the first time exclusively for my newsletter readers, here is the cover for the new book.

While working on new marketing tactics, I’m busy writing my next book. It will be book 11 in the Jarvis Mann PI series. This one takes place in Nashville Tennesse, as Jarvis is hired to help a friend who’s providing bodyguard services for a Country Music husband and wife duo. So far I’ve written about 25k of the book, which puts me on track for it to be released later in 2025. I’m excited about this new book and I’m already forming in my mind book two in the Steel Wheels Cold Mystery series.

And don’t forget about my award-winning Divine Devils series. All four books are available on Amazon in eBook, paperback or on Kindle Unlimited. Or you can order signed paperbacks through my website.

I have more author interviews on my Bringing Life to Characters video podcast. First was award-winning and best-selling author Barbara Nickless talking about her recently released best-seller The Drowning Game. Next I interviewed aspiring author and criminal lawyer Phillip Kushner. Next I’ll be interviewing the sister author team of Blythe Hudson and Carter Fielding on Feb 3rd at 8 PM Mountain time. Next will be best-selling author Elizabeth Crowens on Feb 10th at 6 PM Mountain time. And I have several more guests including Sara Paretsky, and Manual Ramos, both Guests of Honor at Left Coast Crime which is being held in Denver March 13th-16th. You can find all my interviews on my YouTube Channel.

I hope everyone had a wonderful, happy, and safe holiday. A couple days before Christmas Kim, Dakota, and I enjoyed a night of mini-golf surrounded by Christmas lights. Christmas Eve was spent with family and Christmas Day with the three of us. And the dogs of course. For New Year’s Eve, we took it easy, which is normal for us. The days of staying up until the ball drops have long since passed. A quiet night of relaxation watching a movie. And on New Year’s Day, we pulled out the fondue pot for Linner. All in all, it was a wonderful time for the Weir family. If you have a holiday story to share, please send it along.

Looking back on the year, Kim and I traveled in our motorhome to South Dakota for 10 days and then spent 16 days in Nashville for two author events. We bought a Spyder Motorcycle, plus a trailer to pull behind it, and sold our Toyota Corolla. I am mostly retired from work, though I will take a few IT jobs here and there to make a little extra cash. Kim is heavily involved in a two-year work project which may prevent her from traveling on vacation in 2025. However, she’ll be traveling nearly every month to Salt Lake City for the project. Dakota continued her job at Motorola Solutions and working on her IT Degree which she vows to complete this year. She may join me on a few of my travels, though much of that is still in flux. And our energetic dogs Abby and Nuka have been keeping us busy.

Looking back on the year for myself as an author, it was a lot of ups and downs. I did release one book, Murder by a Hundred Cuts, which received great reviews, but not a lot of sales. Book one, in my new series which I hoped to release in 2024, will now come out in February or March of 2025. I did 27 events, which is the same as in 2023, the most successful one being Bear Creek High School. Overall, my sales were down 30% from the previous year and 42% from my best sales year in 2022. This has caused me to take a long hard look at the events I’ll be doing in 2025. My thoughts are, I won’t do as many spring or summer events, and stick to the Fall and Holiday events where I get most of my sales. It’s simply a cost issue, for many of these events are getting too expensive. And with little to no sales, it doesn’t make financial sense. Though I have at least two author events planned, with the possibility of at least one more, all of them providing me great networking opportunities with other authors and readers. I will keep you up-to-date on which events I’ll be attending, including ones coming up in March, April, and May. These can always be found on the Events page of the website and at the bottom of the newsletter.

My focus is to work harder on marketing, with more promos and advertising to get eyes on my books and expanding this newsletter to reach more readers. I will continue to do my video podcast, Bringing Life to Characters, with many great guests lined up. I will work to get out my new book, which I’ll talk about later in the newsletter, and continue writing the next Jarvis Mann PI book, which will mostly take place in Nashville. And then I’ll begin book two in the new series, with the plotline for that story already forming in my head. My plan is to release two books in 2025.

Here are a few other pictures of those who bought books at the last events in 2024. And I had two $10 Amazon Gift Card winners, Rick and Joan.

In March I’ll be attending a big author event, Left Coast Crime which is coming to Denver. I’m thrilled I’ve been able to line up the two Guests of Honor for Left Coast Crime to interview on my podcast, Sara Paretsky and Manual Ramos. Watch for more news on those interviews in next month’s newsletter.

I’ve recorded more episodes of Bringing Life to Characters. I hope everyone has had a chance to watch some of the wonderful authors I’ve been interviewing, as they tell the story of their lives and the books they’ve written. Check out my interviews with T.O. Paine, Kathleen Donnelly, and Mary Keliikoa. For January I’ll have Barbara Nickless on Jan 6th at 6PM Mountain time and the sister writing team of Blythe Hudson and Carter Fielding on February 3rd at 8PM Mountain. And likely one other interview squeezed in between, the guest still to be determined. You can find all my interviews and sign up as a subscriber to my YouTube Channel.

As promised, I have news about my new book, the first in a new series. The story is in the final editing stages. The release date has not been set, for I’m still waiting on the final cover design and logo. I’ll reach out to my early readers in the next few weeks to send out ARC’s (Advanced Reader Copy). I’ve included a link to the Prologue and Chapter 1, for you to preview. I have the title and the synopsis of the book below.

Justice for the Forgotten: A Steel Wheels Cold Mystery:
For widower Donnie Steel
Grief is a powerful emotion and a dynamic motivator
The retired police officer crafting an online blog
Therapy to ease the anguish of his lost soulmate
Readers reaching out, requesting his help

While traveling in his RV, with his faithful K-9 companion, Kogel
He learns of a three-year-old cold case in Southern Colorado
The victim’s parents in search of answers to their son’s death
Upon further investigation, he discovers the case was purposely botched
Those in power doing all they can for the solution to remain buried

With relentless determination to go the extra mile
Heart and soul worn on his sleeve
And his highly trained K-9, fighting by his side
Donnie digs deep to go beyond his emotional and physical pain
To find Justice For The Forgotten

This month’s featured author is Mary Keliikova who was a guest recently on Bringing Life to Characters. Eighteen years in the legal field, and an over-active imagination, led Mary to write murder and suspense novels. A Pacific Northwest native, she is the author of the domestic thriller DON’T ASK, DON’T FOLLOW. Her third book in the Misty Pines Mystery Series, which is an IPPY Silver and Bronze Award winner, a Silver Falchion finalist, and a Foreword Indies awards finalist, will be forthcoming in September 2025 (KILLER TRACKS). Her debut series featuring PI Kelly Pruett was a Shamus and CLUE Finalist, and received a Lefty, Agatha, and Anthony nomination for Best First Novel. Her short stories have appeared in Woman’s World and the anthology Peace, Love, and Crime. When not in Washington, you can find Mary on the beach in Hawaii. But even under the palm trees and blazing sun, she’s plotting her next murder—novel that is. Follow Mary on her website, sign up for her newsletter to receive a free mini-mystery, and you can find her books on Amazon.

I will wrap up the year in review, thanking everyone who bought a book from me and stopped by any of my events to chat. I appreciate all of you and thank you for sharing my work with others you know who love to read. Your help is priceless in growing my fanbase. And don’t forget, I give away a free eBook of my best-selling Jarvis Mann PI book, Tracking A Shadow for anyone who signs up for my newsletter via the website. And you can order signed paperback copies of all my books through my website order form.

All the best!!

I’m often asked if I’ve ever experienced writer’s block. My answer has been, not really. There are times when I don’t feel like writing. But it’s not because I’m blocked, but because I need to have emotion and passion to write. True writer’s block is when a writer has no idea what to put down on paper or continue the story where it sits. Thankfully, that has never happened to me. I step away for several days, come back and the story flows out of me until I’m drained and then I’ll stop again and take a break. I’ll even go back over what I’ve read, which gets me going, and I’ll start writing. Normally it takes about six months or so to write a story, at least when it comes to the first draft. When it’s a new series, like the one I’m working on now, it can take longer since I’m fleshing out new characters, especially my new protagonist. When it’s a long-standing series like the Jarvis Mann PI books, then those characters are ingrained in my head and the writing of the story can come much quicker.

Speaking of my new series. I received my editor’s first round of edits, which I’ll be fervorously working on this week. Once this is completed, it will go back to her for one final read-through, which will finalize the book. My cover artist had a death in the family, so I won’t get any cover designs from her for another week or so. Once this is done, I’ll set a release date for the book. It’s looking like it will fall into January or February. When I have a date I’ll let you know through the newsletter and set up pre-orders of the eBook and paperback versions. Here is a short synopsis of the story to whet your appetite.

Unfortunately because of a bad snowstorm, the Columbine Craft Fair on November 9th was postponed to November 16th, which I couldn’t attend since I was already booked for Mollie McGees that weekend. If anyone went to that event wanting to buy books, reach out to me and I’ll work with you on getting books to you with no shipping cost. Just send me an email and we’ll work out the details or put in a order through the form on my website.

The other events for the rest of November went well. I had more winners of the $10 Amazon Gift Cards. Lisa, Dianne, Christian, Stephanie and McKenna. Thanks to them and everyone else who visited my table, signed up for the newsletter, and purchased books. Here are a few pictures.

In December, I have three final events to wrap up the holiday season, which you’ll see below. If you can’t make it to any of those events and want signed paperbacks for yourself or someone for a holiday gift, you can order them via my website on the paperback order form. Once I get the order, I’ll work on getting the books to you. If you’re local to the Denver Metro area, I’ll work out getting them to you with little or no shipping costs. If you’re outside this area and live in the US, there is a shipping cost for each book.

Get your orders in early, for I have a limited supply of books on hand, including my latest release, Murder by a Hundred Cuts. Or you can buy them directly from Amazon via my author page. All my books on Amazon are available in eBook, paperback, or via the Kindle Unlimited Subscription.

There are more episodes of my podcast, Bringing Life to Characters for you to check out. First I interviewed Author Mary Yungeberg which you can watch here. Then I had New Times Best Selling Author Reed Farrel Coleman which you to watch here. And best selling author Helen Starbuck which you can watch here. In future shows, I’ll have author T.O. Paine on Dec 2nd at 6PM Mountain time and Kathleen Donnelly on Dec 9th at 6PM. And don’t forget to subscribe to my YouTube channel to keep up to date with all the latest interviews.

This month’s featured author is one of my podcast guests this month, author T.O. Paine. In the mid-2000s, T.O. Paine and his family lived in a cult on the edge of a protected forest for roughly three years. His novel, The Teaching, is a thriller mystery based on his experience there. The practices and beliefs expressed in The Teaching actually occurred. The Abduction is a prequel novella to The Teaching, and it is available for FREE from the major booksellers such as Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple, Google Play, and Smashwords. He also runs an awesome recurring GIVEAWAY for fearless readers interested in his newsletter. T.O.’s fast-paced, thriller suspense novels have won several awards and keep readers on the edge of their seat. He is a member of International Thriller Writers association and holds a master’s degree in computer information systems. When he is not writing, you can find him running and cycling extreme distances.. He has run fifty marathons in fifty states, ridden his road bike hundreds of miles over 10,000-foot mountains, and completed an IRONMAN. He resides near the Rocky Mountains in Colorado with his wife and two Boston terriers: Fiona the Ogre and Rudy the Trickster. His degree in computer information systems heavily influenced the technothriller, The Delusion, where a psychology graduate student has spent her life researching mass persuasion only to have it stolen by megalomaniacal social media influencer who uses it to brainwash the world. T.O.’s residence in Colorado inspired him to write his most popular novel, a “trapped-in-a-blizzard-with-a-killer” thriller, The Excursion. His upcoming novel, The Crisis, will be published in early 2025. In The Crisis, a convenience store clerk must rescue a young women from a human trafficking ring to avert a nuclear missile strike on US soil. It’s crazy thrill-ride with more twists and turns than an alligator on meth. You can find out more about T.O. Paine and his novels on his website at topaine.com.

This will likely be the last newsletter for 2024. I want to thank everyone for the support this year. And wish you all Happy Holidays, Merry Christmas, and a Happy New Year.

All the best!

A quick newsletter with a special eBook deal I’ll mention later. First off, my new book will be going off to my editor by the end of the week. I have three beta readers who are finishing reading my second draft. Early feedback has been great. One telling me the story held her attention from beginning to end. I’ve also reached out to my cover designer to begin the process of developing the cover, giving her a few ideas on the design. The book, Justice for the Forgotten, will be the beginning of a new series. I will have more information in my next newsletter.

I have a big couple of months of Craft Fairs starting on Saturday, with seven straight weeks of events. I had two more winners of $10 Amazon Gift Cards, Deana and Brandi. And I have a few pictures of book buyers at each event.

Brandi, who is a collector of my work, bought two books to complete her bookshelf, which she sent me a picture of. If you have a bookshelf with my books on it, I would love to see a picture.

The special deal I mentioned earlier, is a free eBook version of one of my favorites. One near and dear to me, because of my Computer Information Technology background. Dead Man Code took my private eye, Jarvis Mann, into the world of computer hacking and theft. The murder of a computer engineer and involvement from the Russians and Chinese. Fictionalized, real-world events. Here are a couple of reviews:

The plot is thrilling and the action is amazing! I was on the edge of my seat from one page to the next. At first, it seemed that Jarvis was out of his depth in the tech world; however, his wit and intelligence ensured that he brought himself up to speed pretty quickly. There are several unexpected twists in the plot as Jarvis makes new enemies, finds new allies, and discovers his client’s big secret – Charity

I could not predict how the story would turn out or if Jarvis would be victorious in the end. Sometimes, no names are mentioned in the dialogue to withhold the character’s identity and it keeps me at the edge of my seat. The characters are well-developed and realistic. The 62 chapters in this book just flew by and all were equally fascinating. Many times, I would cringe and think, is this finally the end of Jarvis? He manages to get himself in the most excruciating of predicaments – Star Platinum

You can locate the eBook for free from Amazon from Oct 29th through Nov 2nd. Please take advantage of this great deal so we can shoot the book up the Amazon Best Seller Charts. And when you’re done reading don’t forget to leave an honest review.

I’ve included the free eBook of Dead Man Code as part of the Author’s XP Mystery-Detective Book Giveaway which starts today (10/29).

And with the help of her grandmother, she made a German Chocolate Three-Layer cake from scratch. As you can see from the picture it won’t last long.

The hot weather is continuing for us along the Colorado Front Range. And unfortunately, we now have four wildfires burning in the foothills and mountain areas. The Quarry Fire in Jefferson County, the Stone Canyon Fire in Boulder County north of Lyons, the Lake Shore Fire in Boulder County, and the Alexander Mountain Fire in Larimer County West of Loveland. With highs in the upper 90’s and humidity running about 10%, it’s making for terrible conditions for firefighters to battle these fires. Not to mention they are burning in hilly and rocky areas making it even more challenging. Though it is not in the forecast for a few days, cooler and wet weather would be a welcome relief. Please keep the people affected in your thoughts.

Coming up with names for characters is always a challenge. You can only use John and Mary for names so often. The job of trying to find unique names that fit characters. I often look for names that fit their personality, a hook so to speak. If they are a tough protagonist, a criminal, a lawyer, and so on. And the ethnicity of the characters plays a role. This applies to all the major characters in each story. Jarvis Mann, Hunter Divine, Athena Nasso, and Brandon Sparks are a few from my books. But I also watch out for names that are too similar or share the same first letter. One of my beta readers was reading an early version of one of my books and told me I had too many people whose given name started with the letter B. It was one of those items I’d missed. Now I watch for such common traits, for it helps make the story less confusing and allows readers to track those characters more easily, especially with many of my books having more than fifty in the story. These days I track all of my character names, their traits, and what they look like in the application Scrivener. This prevents me from repeating myself in my plots. With 14 books and 2 more in the works, it can be challenging to remain fresh when it comes to my stories. If you have a unique name and would like to share it for use in a future book, send me an email.

Speaking of books in the works, I have news on my new series. I had submitted a portion of the story for a possible award and had to keep it anonymous. Unfortunately, it was not nominated, so I’ve been working hard to finish it. The book is currently sitting at 75k words, which is about 3/4 of the way until the first draft is finished. My goal is to have the first draft completed in a few weeks and the new book released by the end of the year. I’ll be reaching out to my beta readers in the next week or so to solicit feedback. The working title is Justice for the Forgotten and it will be the first book in The Steel Wheels Cold Mystery series. I already have a new logo designed which I’ll be sharing in the future.

In less than two weeks, we’ll be traveling in our motorhome to Nashville. It will take two long days to drive there from Colorado. We’ll be staying for two weeks to attend Killer Nashville and Bouchercon, which are being held on back-to-back weekends in Nashville. Though Lethal Blues was named one of the top books of 2023 by Killer Nashville, it was not a finalist for the Silver Falchion Award in the Investigator category. Disappointing, but I’m looking forward to both events. I’ll be on one panel for Killer Nashville and one for Bouchercon. And I’ll have books for sale at both events. This should be a fun time networking with other authors.

After we return from Nashville on Labor Day, we turn right around 3 days later and head to Loveland Colorado for the GoodGuys Car Show, where I’ll have a table with many other crafters. This is another 3-day event which is always fun to attend. Be sure to stop by and say hello.

Below are a couple more reviews for my latest book Murder by a Hundred Cuts, which you can purchase on Amazon in eBook, paperback, and via Kindle Unlimited. Or get a signed paperback copy, along with all my other books, directly from me through the form on my website.

I love a good P.I. story and this author is one of the best. I am always amazed at the way he puts his plot together. It’s like assembling pieces of a jigsaw until they all fit and you get the “Wow, I’d never have put that together” affect. This story also brings in some sorrowful moments and you can feel the pain Jarvis is in. This is quite a gruesome tale but well written and gripping as the thoughts and actions come tumbling out onto the page. I found the ending amazing; it felt like a new cold and calculating Jarvis Mann. Makes me wonder what’s next for this armour plated P.I. – Avis

The story is fast-paced, with a secondary mystery. At the same time as it’s suspenseful, there is some wistfulness that comes with age. The point of view shifts to provide a glimpse into the new “butcher” and his agenda. As with others in the series, this is well-written and sure to keep you up late. With Jarvis reflecting back and providing the needed history, this can be read out of order, although I always recommend starting a series at the beginning – Christa

If you enjoy Audiobooks, check out The Divine Devils and Fallen Star: The Divine Devils Book 2. Both were produced by Phillip Polite. I do have Audible Codes for each book available if you’re interested. All I ask is for you to post an honest review. You can email me or if you have Audible credits to use, you can find both today to add to your listening list.

This month’s feature is award-winning and best-selling author Carmen Amato. Carmen is an Ex-CIA intelligence officer and award-winning author of 17 thriller novels that Kirkus Reviews described as “Danger and betrayal never more than a few pages away.” Beginning with Cliff Diver, her contemporary Detective Emilia Cruz series pits the first female police detective in Acapulco against Mexico’s cartels, corruption, and social inequality. Optioned for television, it’s a 2-time winner of the Outstanding Series award from CrimeMasters of America and a 4-time finalist for the Silver Falchion award. Her standalone thrillers include The Hidden Light of Mexico City, which was longlisted for the 2020 Millennium Book Award. Most recently, Murder at the Galliano Club won the 2023 winner of the Silver Falchion Award for Best Historical. The Prohibition-era Galliano Club series was inspired by her grandfather’s experiences as a deputy sheriff in the 1920’s. Carmen is a recipient of both the National Intelligence Award and the Career Intelligence Medal. After years of globetrotting, she and her husband live in Tennessee with their German Shepherds, Hazel and Bear. You can Grab a free copy of the free Detective Emilia Cruz Starter Library by clicking this link and find her books on Amazon. And you can follow Carmen on Instagram, Facebook and on her website.
