It will be 5 years this August since we moved into our new home. Our previous home, which we lived in for 22 years, had very little grass to mow. Transitioning to a Xeriscape yard with mostly mulch, plants, bushes, and trees. Our new home is on a large corner lot with all grass, which I hated to mow. Not to mention the huge water bills needed to keep it green during our dry Colorado summers. This spring I completed the transformation of that front lot to a more waterwise landscape. Now with only a small section of grass to mow (YIPPEE!!). It was hard work, but worth it. I’ve received many compliments from our neighbors on how it looks. Below you’ll see what we started with and what it looks like now. And it will be even more beautiful when it all starts to bloom.

Here are a few more shots of flowers flourishing in our wildly changing spring weather, with more heat, followed by another wet snowstorm. And this past weekend about 2 inches of rain. The weather is never boring here.

A bit of comic relief while Kim and Dakota work in the yard. All caught on our security camera. The fun begins at around the 24-second mark. Hopefully, the video plays properly in the email. If not then you can enjoy the hilarity via this link.

This Wednesday, May 1st, is the release day for the new Jarvis Mann PI novel, Murder by a Hundred Cuts. A riveting and stirring book that will change Jarvis Mann’s life forever. And a follow-up to the award-winning novel, The Front Range Butcher. Order the eBook today for the low pre-order price of $4.99 from Amazon or the paperback on Amazon for $17.99. Or you can order a signed paperback copy from me for $15 with free shipping (US only) via my website. I have copies of the 440-page paperback to mail immediately. And while you’re there, you can order any of my books, including the other 8 Jarvis Mann PI paperbacks and the award-winning 4-book Divine Devils series.

Here is an early editorial 5-star review by Alma Boucher for Readers’ Favorite.

In Murder by a Hundred Cuts, a murder mystery novel by R. Weir, private eye Jarvis Mann is a witness in the trial of serial killer Simon Lions, known as the Front Range Butcher. A witness was found brutally murdered, and graphic pictures and a message were left for Jarvis before the trial started. Jarvis was certain that a new serial killer was imitating the Front Range Butcher and that the killer was sending Jarvis a message. Meanwhile, Corrine hired Jarvis to follow her husband because she was certain he was having an affair. Corrine’s husband had withdrawn large amounts from their joint account, and she wanted proof of his affair. Jarvis had his hands full with finding the identity of the new serial killer and following Corrine’s husband.

Murder by a Hundred Cuts by R. Weir is fast-paced and action-packed. It has all the elements of a well-written detective mystery, and the suspense kept me on the edge of my seat. I was hooked from the start and was kept guessing until the very end. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what would happen next, and I turned the pages as fast as I could. The characters were authentic and relatable. Jarvis went out of his way to help Corrine with her husband, plus doing everything possible to track down the serial killer. As if that was not enough, Jarvis also had to testify against the Front Range Butcher. Different subplots were masterfully woven into the main story, and the chapters flowed into each other. This was such a suspenseful read and gave me much more than I expected.

Here is the first 5-star review from an early reader of Murder by a Hundred Cuts.

Jarvis Mann, private investigator is anxiously awaiting the trial of the Front Range Butcher. Jarvis can’t wait to see the Butcher found guilty and sentenced to death. While waiting for the trial to begin, Jarvis takes on a seemingly easy domestic case which turns into an unexpected investigation with mafia type bosses, familiar foes and friends. In the midst of this investigation and his pending court testimony against the Butcher, another serial killer strikes with a similar modus operandi.
This story has twists, turns and enough rollercoaster action, the reader can’t put the book down. The author leaves each chapter begging the reader to continue on. I was sucked in from the Prologue till the end. And speaking of the final chapter, I now wonder what is next for Jarvis. I like thrillers and R. Weir has a writing style similar to authors Vince Flynn and David Baldacci. His books are truly a must read – Charlene

With the release of Murder by a Hundred Cuts, I will be offering an eBook version of The Front Range Butcher on Amazon for free. This will be available starting today April 29th and run through May 3rd. If you don’t already have this book, now is your chance to add it to your Kindle eReader. Please share this with anyone else interested. I’m only offering this promo through this newsletter and on social media. I’d love to see a lot of downloads and hopefully get people to buy more of my books, including Murder by a Hundred Cuts.

The Front Range Butcher was the Readers’ Favorite Gold Medal Winner of 2019 for Best Mystery-Psychological Thriller. Here are a few of the wonderful reviews for this dark thriller.

Dark, gritty, twisty psychological suspense with multifaceted characters to grab your mind and hold it captive. This is a must-read read for nail-biting suspense fans – K-BRC

LOVED THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!! It pulls you in from page one and keeps you riveted to your seat reading page after page. 20 years after mysteries killings just stop, they start again……Is it a copycat killer, the same one that killed before? you will have to read and see……. Jarvis has a dark mind like killers, can he solve this unsolved mystery? Chelle

I’ll be honest when I say this is the first book I have read in this series, but I guarantee it will not be the last. This is the 7th book in the Jarvis Mann series, but luckily for me, can be read as a stand-alone. Right from the jump, the realness of suspense and violence were right up in my face. This is supposed to be a graphic thriller, so the authentic approach and storyline is well perceived. From story line, the character development, and the evolution of Mann, this is a series I will be starting from the beginning and seeing all the way through – Tony RRM

I’ve started my Bringing Life to Characters author interview podcast with two shows streaming live, the recordings, are now available to watch on my website and YouTube.

As you can see from the pictures above, springtime weather in Colorado can swing in wild directions. The pictures were from 18 inches of wet, heavy snow we got a couple weeks ago. Then after it melted, flowers started to bloom from the warm weather, which neared 70 degrees. And then we had another snowstorm of 5 more inches. I’ve lived here for over 40 years, and this type of weather is normal in the Mile High City. And apparently, these flowers are accustomed to the wild swings, blooming even in the cold and snow.

The editing is done and Murder by a Hundred Cuts has a release date. Drumroll, please. The eBook and paperback will be released on May 1st. You can pre-order the eBook for the early bird price of $4.99 on Amazon via this link and the paperback on Amazon at $17.99, though the link won’t be live until release day. Or you can preorder a signed copy directly from me for $15 with free shipping (US Only) through my website via this link. I should have copies to sell a week or two in advance of the May 1st release date. Here is a quick synopsis of Murder by a Hundred Cuts.

After three years, the serial killer known as The Front Range Butcher, finally faces the charges against him. First degree murder under special circumstances for the five victims. Simon Lions confronted by his accusers in the trial of the century. One of those accusers being private eye, Jarvis Mann.
Before the trial begins, complications arise. A witness is found viciously murdered, followed by another grisly death. Gruesome pictures and a message left for Jarvis in advance of his testimony. Threats aimed at those closest to him. Leaving him to wonder if the savage cycle of horror will ever end.
Even though he tries to stay out of the fray, Jarvis is driven to face these threats and unearth those involved. Investigating a notorious new serial killer who is carving his own legacy. While Simon sits in the courtroom, gleefully watching his bold and daring defense emerge. Compelling Jarvis to challenge his own fortitude and moral convictions, to defeat a perpetual evil that doesn’t want to die!

You can check out two chapter previews of the new book on my website. The Prologue and Chapter One. As a warning, the Prologue has some graphic moments dealing with a serial killer. If those are triggers for you, then you should not read it.

Below is a sneak peek at the cover of the new book. You can find the full version of both the eBook and paperback on my website.

Murder by a Hundred Cuts has a direct tie-in to my award-winning book, The Front Range Butcher. My suggestion, you read it before reading the new release. You can find The Front Range Butcher on Amazon in eBook, paperback, or Kindle Unlimited. Or you can purchase a signed copy through my website for $15 with free shipping (US Only).

As I mentioned last month, I’m starting a new podcast where I’ll be interviewing other authors. The title: Bringing Life to Characters. I did a short video discussing the new podcast as a test of the new software I’ll be using. You can find the video on my website via this link. If you get a chance to watch it, send me an email and let me know your thoughts. The first interview podcast will run this Tuesday starting at 11AM Mountain time with award-winning and bestselling author Lynessa Layne. If all works well, it will stream live on my Personal Facebook page, my Author R Weir Facebook Group, and my R Weir YouTube channel. I’ve sent out invites, but you can join via the links I provided. You can also subscribe to my YouTube Channel to stay up-to-date with future shows and recordings.

Here is a short reading from the Meet The Author Podcast I did from Divine Retribution for you to enjoy!

Here are two events I’ll be attending in April. Stop by my table and say hello.

This month’s author feature is Helen Starbuck—no relation to the coffee bunch—who is a Colorado native and writes the Annie Collins Mystery series featuring an OR nurse amateur sleuth who gets cajoled into helping an old friend discover what’s causing her illness. Being a former OR nurse herself, helped Starbuck write the series. The first book in the series, The Mad Hatter’s Son, won the National Indie Excellence Award for best mystery and received a 10 out of 10 review from the BookLife Prize and went on to be a quarter-finalist in the contest. The third book, The Burden of Hate, received a starred Kirkus review and was a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Award. Readers love the characters and the settings and being able to recognize various places in Colorado. Starbuck also writes standalone romantic suspense. Her standalone books are mystery/suspense whodunnits and are all set in various locations in Colorado. Her newest standalone book is, The Killer Without A Face. Her books can be found on Amazon in paperback, ebook, and audiobook and all are in Kindle Unlimited. The ebook of The Mad Hatter’s Son is always $0.99. Readers can sign up for her newsletter on her website for updates, news, and promotions, and you can follow her on Facebook, Instagram, and Threads.

This month there is one Prolific Works free eBook giveaway. An Ominous Omen – Mystery and Thriller G.G. has 26 free Ebooks available until April 15th via this link.

Kim and I recently visited one of our favorite places, the Butterfly Pavillion. The butterflies loved my wife’s yellow Divine Devils shirt and my gold Green Bay Packers hat.

I will wrap up this month with a reminder about the coming release of Murder by A Hundred Cuts. Be sure to get your eBook pre-order placed for the low price of $4.99 on Amazon. Or order the paperback from Amazon for $17.99 once it goes live on May 1st. Or buy a signed copy directly from my website for $15 with free shipping (US Only).

Thanks again for reading and being a fan of my work. And be sure to share with other book readers, who can sign up for this newsletter on my website through the pop-up form and get a free eBook copy of my Jarvis Mann Amazon Best Seller, Tracking A Shadow.

All the best!!

Good day to everyone. My big news is Murder by a Hundred Cuts is in my editor’s hands. Tina already telling me, “Wow she loved it!” She says she’ll have the edits to me by the end of next week and when I get it, I’ll need to go through all the changes and tighten up the story. Once that is done, it’s back to Tina for one final read-through. When I get to that point, I will set a release date. Right now I’m thinking it will fall sometime in May. My graphic artist is working on three concepts for the cover for me to decide on. I will have a sneak peek of the cover in the next couple of months.

While I’m waiting for the edit on the new book, I started the first story in my new series I’ve been teasing about over the last couple of months. I currently have 9 chapters written, which I’ve had Alpha Readers scrutinizing over with positive feedback provided. I plan on submitting the beginning of this new book for the prestigious Claymore Award which is given for the best first 50 pages of an unpublished manuscript in several categories. I submitted the first 50 pages of The Divine Devils a few years back. It wasn’t nominated for the Claymore, but did win a year later The Silver Falchion Award for Best Thriller. Maybe I can recreate the magic!

There has been a lot of talk about AI (Artificial Intelligence) in the book industry. Especially when it comes to writing books. Authors who are using software to create their stories instead of their own imagination. When setting up a new book on Amazon to sell, there is a box you must check if you use AI in any manner to create your book. I can guarantee you, I will never use AI for any aspect of creating any of my works. If I can’t do it myself, I will stop writing. To me, that is cheating. All authors have their own voice and style when they write. AI would only be the voice of the software and the programmer who created it. When doing my work, I only use real humans to provide feedback, whether it be Alpha/Beta Readers or my editor. The only aspect I might use AI for would be the marketing of my books. A writer who doesn’t create the works themselves can’t be branded as an author in my eyes.

Don’t forget if you love audiobooks, I have three available, with a fourth coming later this year. The Case of the Missing Bubble Gum Card, Tracking A Shadow and The Divine Devils. Here is another wonderful review posted for The Divine Devils audiobook.

The Divine Devils kept me completely off my game as far as being able to predict what was around the corner and this was refreshing. One thing I will say, if you are one of those listeners/readers that looks to find fault in the tactical accuracy you will, but I’m not sure what a book like this is written for. Also the character development is much more engaging because even those characters that are just spotlighted have enough build up to want to see them more. Excited to read the next book in this series – Jarvis

With the coming release of the next book in the Jarvis Mann PI Series, if you haven’t read all the previous books, now is a good time to add them to your reading list. There are currently 9 books total in the series, all available in eBook, Paperback, and on Kindle Unlimited. The first 8 books in the series are also available in two Jarvis Mann Boxsets at a great price. If you like paperbacks and want a signed copy, you can order them directly on my website. Just submit the form and I’ll have them shipped out the next business day.

And there are 4 books in the Divine Devils Series. They are also available in eBook, Paperback, and on Kindle Unlimited. And you can get signed paperbacks of this series through my website.

I was at Broomfield High School this past weekend. I talked to a lot of people and sold a few books. From the pictures you can see The Front Range Butcher was quite popular. Thanks to everyone who stopped by to chat about books.

I just added this event to my schedule for March. I hope to see a lot of new faces at this senior assisted living facility.

I hope everyone has been checking out the fellow authors I’ve been featuring each month. A lot of new books to explore. This month Bruce W. Most is the featured author. Bruce lives in Denver, Colorado, and was raised in Iowa, just like I was. While Bruce doesn’t write a series, his mysteries share one thing in common: each is what he likes to call classic whodunits, where the reader gets a fair crack at figuring out the killer before his sleuth does. His first published mystery, Bonded for Murder, featuring a woman bail bond agent, was nominated for a Colorado Book Award. Rope Burn (cattle rustling and murder in modern-day Wyoming) and Murder on the Tracks (1949 Denver) won Colorado Authors’ League awards for best genre novels. CAL awarded him a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2022. His crime short stories have been published in Mystery Magazine. His latest whodunit is No Time for Murder.

For a free ebook of his crime novella, Harrington’s Game (A PI is hired to solve the perfect crime . . . by the man who committed it), go to this link. You can check out his books at his website via this link.

This month there are two Prolific Works free eBook giveaways to check out. The first is Gone Missing – Mystery and Thriller G.G. with 27 free eBooks you can download via this link until March 15th.

Check out Mysteries Your Mother Never Told… with 54 free eBooks via this link until December 31st.

Please give a listen to these two recent podcasts. My Interview with Phillip Polite, which I hosted. The other I was a guest, Meet The Author with hosts Rob and Joan. And speaking of podcasts, I’m going to try my hand at hosting my own podcast, probably once or twice a month. I’m still working out the details, but I hope to have the first one recorded in the next couple of weeks. I have a working title of Bringing Life to Characters with R Weir. Users will be able to watch live on YouTube and Facebook, and there will be recorded versions to watch on YouTube and on my website. It will be interesting to see how it goes, but I’m looking forward to the challenge.

Time to return to my new book series and get more writing done, with the editing of Murder by a Hundred Cuts waiting in the wings. Thanks to everyone for reading and sharing this newsletter. If you have any questions don’t hesitate to send me an email.

All the best!!

R Weir

I’m taking time out today to write this newsletter. I’ve been working hard on my newest book, and I should have the first draft done later this week. Once I get some final feedback from my beta readers, I will read through it again and do rewrites which should take about two weeks. From there the story is off to my editor for her changes and suggestions. And I’ve started the process of getting the cover created. I hope to get the book finalized and have it released in a few months. The working title: Murder by a Hundred Cuts which will be book 10 in the Jarvis Mann PI Series and direct follow-up to my award-winning book The Front Range Butcher. Be sure to watch this newsletter for more information.

Being a pantser, which is a author who essentially writes by the seat of their pants, my stories evolve while I write them. With this style of writing, I often write my characters into a corner. This can be challenging but also thrilling at the same time. We all face obstacles every day, that we don’t anticipate and we have to work through. This is the same for my characters. Unexpected events happen, though for them they can be life and death. When I write them into a corner, I often step back and decide how they would react. Sometimes it’s using their brains, others their brawn, and even a gun. And there are times when those three options fail, and those characters don’t make it out alive. Those are the events in a story that make them realistic in my mind. It can be shocking for the reader, as well as for the writer.

Here are more reviews for my most recent release, Divine Retribution.

What an ending to this Divine Devils saga! This was by far the best book in the series. I was left bewildered when Hunter got himself into what seemed like an impossible situation. How did he let this happen? And how is he going to get out of this one? The rest of the Devils are banned from helping so how is Hunter going to deal with his “mother” and the Organisation and come out of it alive? We have been left with cliffhangers from each book, questions left unanswered. This is where everything is sorted out and all threads are neatly sewn together. Twists and turns that I never expected Actions and reactions that left the reader speechless. Absolutely astounding Mr. Weir! I was gripped from the beginning to the end ……. and what an ending. All your background work and months of plotting have paid off. This book is truly a thriller – Avis

The plot is riveting, the pace is action-packed, and the characters are supremely developed. This final installment, and the entire series, is every thriller fan’s dream – Xkoqueen

Divine Retribution is book four of The Divine Devils Thriller Series. A series I suggest reading in order. You can get all four books in eBook, Paperback, or on Kindle Unlimited. You can get all four paperbacks directly from me and signed by purchasing them through my website via this link.

More reviews are coming in for the audiobook version of The Divine Devils, narrated by Phillip Polite which is available here. And I’ve hired him to work on Fallen Star: The Divine Devils Book Two. The work begins later this month. Watch for updates in this newsletter on a release date once I have it.

This is my first book by this author, but after listening to this incredible episode of The Divine Devils it certainly won’t be my last. I like this author’s writing style, how there is a play on words with Hunter Divine’s name, he’s a hunter on the side of divinity, clever don’t you think? He’s on the trail of an evil antagonist., the story is id intriguing, thrilling, and chilling too, I have to say that I loved the devilish touches. It’s so easy to get lost in the story it’s written in such a way that it’s believable, even though it’s quite impossible. The story is smooth-flowing and well-written it pulled me in and gripped me from beginning to end, It’s thrilling and intriguing the characters are well-drawn and interesting and at times intense. The plotline is great and easy to follow whilst ensuring that you’re kept guessing what will happen next. I look forward to listening to more from this series. The narration is performed very well by Phillip Polite, he’s a new narrator for me but one I enjoyed listening to – LeMiliere

If you want to read or listen to previews of my books or audiobooks, I have them on my website for you to check out. For the Jarvis Mann PI Books and The Divine Devils Series, you’ll find the previews here. Just click the drop-down menu under Book Previews and select the book.

Here are two upcoming events for me. over the next few weeks.

Last month I started featuring other authors I’ve had the pleasure to meet. This month the author is Jodi Bowersox whom I met through the Colorado Author’s League. Jodi is an award-winning author and artist with more than 25 books for children and adults. Her novels span genres from faith fiction to suspense to time travel to sci-fi, with small town, big city, and interplanetary settings. Known for her twisty mysteries and page-turning action, even her faith fiction books are full of suspense. Her children’s books, under the name J.B. Stockings, tackle issues like personal care, responsibility, diversity, unconditional love, and just plain fun for children aged 0-10.

And I will add he travels the country in a Class A RV. For now, that is all I’ll say, but I’m excited about the possibilities of this new series as it begins to come together. I hope to work more on it after I get this latest book off to my editor. Stay tuned for more details.

The Mollie McGee’s Holiday Craft Market was a huge success for me with great sales from new and returning readers of my books. Below are a few pictures of happy book buyers. Many were buying books for loved ones as gifts for the holidays. A signed book by an author is a huge surprise when opened.

A gentleman reached out to me this past week about getting more books. He had purchased The Divine Devils at one of the events and sent me an email wondering where to get more of the series for he was nearly done reading and said it was awesome. I directed him to my website and the form to submit to order books directly from me. I gathered the books, signed them, and since he lived close by, I dropped them off at his house.

I hope you got a chance to catch my interview with Phillip Polite, the narrator of The Divine Devils. If not here is a link to the video recording where we discuss the work he did on the book and the challenges he faced. Phillip is a great guy and I enjoyed chatting with him.

The final book in The Divine Devils series, Divine Retribution continues to get great reviews. Here are two others that recently were posted:

Wow! What a stupendous ending to the Divine Devils saga! “Divine Retribution: The Divine Devils Final Chapter” brilliantly brings the previous books together and ties them all in a neat package. All those who have worked with the Divine Devils in some capacity are reunited in this novel, including Valerie who has a cameo. We finally learn who “The Organization” is after only hearing about this corrupt group throughout the saga. The gritty writing expected from Mr. Weir is still evident and it helps the reader perceive the tough characters for who they are. It is easy to visualize the surroundings in each scene as Mr. Weir meticulously draws the details. Tension builds from the first page of the story and continues to build throughout. The reader’s heart races along as the tension escalates. Emotions run rampant as the reader experiences everything from tenderness to goose bump inducing horror at the atrocities carried out all in the name of manipulation. Tears will come during this convoluted tale, so have a tissue at the ready. All questions lingering from previous novels are all answered in this tell all, be all story, to include the secret from Hunter’s infancy which unknown to him, has been haunting him throughout this saga. A mind boggling tale, one will never be the same after being immersed in the dark world of the Divine Devils – Belinda

Hunter’s Divine Devils are disbanded and he’s hiding out trying to find the link to the killer and some woman who claims she is his rightful mother. He avoids his previous problems with alcohol and drugs, channeling all his energy into his mission. Although disbanded, each member of the group starts poking around themselves and connecting as they gather information. As the pieces come together, the tension builds and the pace quickens. Well-written, there are the characters to like, as well as villains, including the one who wants all the Divine Devils dead and Hunter working for her. Hard to put down with many dead or injured, yet an effective ending. Although this is the fourth in the series, it can be read as a stand-alone. That said, it’s always best to start at the beginning of a series, rather than the end. I’d highly recommend this book (and the series) for those who don’t mind graphic scenes and who enjoy suspense, action, and a fast pace. I’m sorry the series is ending – C-Lu

Lethal Blues recently received an Editorial Review from Reader Views, which gave it 5 Stars. You can read the review via this link. It is also entered into their book awards contest, the winner to be announced early next year. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.

Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, and many blessings to you all.

R Weir

Happy Halloween to everyone. I’ll start off by sharing a picture of our pumpkin patch haul, which wasn’t too bad. We picked and shared them with our neighbors, who happily took most of them after we kept three for ourselves.

Here is a couple of pictures of beautiful fall colors I captured on the drive to one of our events.

At the beginning of the newsletter, you’ll find my new logo. It was designed by my cover artist Mia, who felt it was time for an update to combine the logos for my two book series. I think it really stands out and will be a great eye-catcher. It will be part of the new table banner I’m now using, which combines all of my book titles and this banner below to post for advertisements and social media.

After three previous attempts, with three different narrators that didn’t work out for various reasons, I’m finally thrilled to announce the audiobook for my Silver Falchion Award-Winning Book The Divine Devils is now available. The long road to getting the audiobook finalized, which took nearly two years until I finally found the right person for the job. After a strong audition, I hired Phillip Polite, who I believe did a wonderful job of bringing this book to life. This wasn’t an easy task with the length of the book being over 400 pages and the number of different characters in the story of over 60, which made The Divine Devils a real challenge for anyone to produce. But Phillip worked hard on the project and finished it in good time. I will be doing a Facebook Live with Phillip this weekend, to interview him about the project. Tentatively it’s scheduled for 10AM Mountain time on Sunday (Oct 29th). You can go to my Facebook account for more details and I’ll post the video on my website for everyone to watch. If you like his work on The Divine Devils, Phillip is available for other audio projects. You can reach out to him via his Instagram Account: @phil_the_narrator

The audiobook is available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. If you’re an audible subscriber, I do have a few free promo codes to give away for the US and UK. All I ask after reading is for you to post an honest review of the book. If you’re interested just email me and I’ll contact you about the promo code. If I can get some decent sales, I plan on getting the other books in the Divine Devils series made into audiobooks. So reach out and let me know if you are interested in hearing more of my award-winning series.

And a quick reminder I have two other audiobooks in the Jarvis Mann PI series that are available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. First The Case of the Missing Bubble Gum Card narrated by Joel Frookmkin.

And then Tracking A Shadow narrated by Eric Priessman is also available on Audible, Amazon, and iTunes. I still have several US and UK promo codes for Tracking A Shadow that I’m willing to share with anyone with an Aubible account who will post a review. Again just reach out via my email and I’ll contact you.

My other big news is my free promo for the eBook of The Divine Devils went #1 on the Amazon Organized Crime list, as well as top five on a couple of others. And my reviews/ratings for the book have shot up to over 115 on Amazon and 96 on Goodreads with an average of over 4.2 stars. A great boost for the book which has brought more readers to the rest of the series.

Here are two of the new 5-star reviews for The Divine Devils.

The story was intriguing and engaging right to the last paragraph. Well written and
challenges the reader to not set the book down. Its plot has many twists that are interesting and entertaining. Yet no part of this book is predictable! I can only hope the rest of the series can fulfill the high expectations the first book set -Frank

This was my first time reading a book by R. Weir. I found myself hooked in the first few chapters. Once I was hooked I couldn’t put the book down. I lost a lot of sleep reading this book. I just had to know who the bad guys were and why they did what they did. I also loved the villian Valarie and one of the good guys Athena and there threats against each other. I found myself greatly anticipating their big show down. Hunter Divine ex US Marshall was such a great character as well as his special team he put together. This was book 1 in the series and I am dying to get to book 2 now – Kathi

Kathi also posted a video review on Facebook of The Divine Devils. Check it out via this link.

Divine Retribution: The Divine Devils Final Chapter has received several more 5-star reviews. Here are a couple of them:

R Weir writes an incredibly thrilling and suspenseful tale with Divine Retribution. This book is part of the The Divine Devils series, and this is volume four. I am a big fan of R Weir and read whatever this author writes. This author has a grand imagination, and talent for showing the story. With any series, I recommend reading the books from volume one. Hunter is an amazing man, and leader of the Divine Devils. Hunter is in a dark place, losing someone very close to him, almost wanting him to give up. He tries to fight through the dread and darkness and look for answers about his own childhood. He is surprised to find answers that may or may not be true, and could put his team in danger. This book says it’s his final chapter, but I hope not. Even if it is, the stories are just amazing, and very unputdownable! This story was absolutely incredible. This author is a superb storyteller. The reader just embarks on a superb journey. This is a magnificent plot that kept this reader turning the pages. The author’s technique of raw, magnetic characters and great plotlines is a gift. This final chapter is definitely unpredictable. Divine Retribution is a definite recommendation by Amy’s Bookshelf Reviews.

This read was a wild ride from the first chapter. Sad to see the series end but R Weir did the characters justice in this book. Faced with a tragedy Hunter goes dark. He knows the Divine Devils will have his back and when needed they do. When faced with his past he finds some secrets long buried. My emotions were a wreck from all he has endured. Kudos to Mr Weir for making me scared to turn each page. My emotions were put through the wringer for all the danger the Divine Devils faced. I didn’t want any of them to meet death. Did they, you ask. You will have to read to see. A great read that will keep the suspense coming and the nail biting moments a plenty. Mr Weir creates characters that you are invested in long after you read the last page – Shelly

With the release of Divine Retribution, I suggest you read the Divine Devils series in order. The order being, The Divine Devils, Fallen Star: The Divine Devils Book 2, Sold Souls: The Divine Devils Book 3, and Divine Retribution: The Divine Devils Final Chapter. All of the books are available on Amazon in eBook, paperback, and on Kindle Unlimited. And you can get all the books in the series in paperback format directly from me and signed, for $15 and free US shipping. Or all 4 books in the series mailed for $55 plus $5 shipping, US only.

You can pick up all of the Jarvis Mann paperbacks directly from me via the same website form. The paperbacks start as low as $5 each, up to $15. Or get all 8 shipped for $85 plus $10 shipping (US Only).

I just concluded a busy month of October with four events on three weekends. I get this weekend off and then it’s 7 events in six weeks, many of them 2 and 3 days in length. My hope is to sell bunches of paperbacks and get lots of newsletter sign-ups. Here is a picture of two of the book buyers at Mollie McGee’s this past weekend who together bought six of my books.

Here are digital flyers for three of my November events.

Last week I met with the Torca Book Club at the Callahan House in Longmont Colorado. I met Genja (what a great and unique first name) at an event in Longmont last year and she invited me to speak with them after reading my novel Tracking A Shadow. I had a great time answering questions from all of the ladies in this beautiful historical house. If you’re in a book club and would like an author to come talk with you, reach out via my email. I’m always happy to come to your location if you live on the Colorado Front Range. If you’re outside that area I can always chat with you via video or phone conference.

Next is Books for Younger Readers which starts November 1st and runs until November 30th with currently 8 books you can check out via this link.

I’ll wrap up this newsletter with a picture of Dakota’s dog, Nuka, resting with me in bed while I watched the Wyoming vs. Air Force college football game, as Kim and Dakota were at the game in Colorado Springs. After my long day at a craft fair, Nuka got comfortable on my lap to keep me company.

All the best!!

And stay tuned for other offers on the other books in the series later in the newsletter.

I’ve already received several wonderful early reviews for Divine Retribution. Here are three of them including an editorial review from Readers Favorite:

Divine Retribution is complex and exciting. I was hooked from the first page until the end. The plot was excellently planned and executed. It was fast-paced, and with all the action, there was never a dull moment. With all the twists and turns, I never knew what to expect. It was a page-turner, and I could not turn the pages fast enough. The suspense kept me on the edge of my seat, guessing what would happen next. The characters were authentic and relatable. They could be anyone I know. The team cared about Hunter, and despite a mutual decision to wait until he contacted them, they began to follow up on leads to help him. This was an intriguing story by R. Weir, and I could not have asked for a better ending: Reviewed by Alma Boucher for Readers’ Favorite

Weir has done it again. I read his books faster than any others, just can’t put them down. I hate the fact that this is the last in this series. I love The Divine Devils; and the final chapter was perfect. Lots of action and intrigue from the best team ever assembled. Just when you think you have something figured out, you find out more and are amazed at this team’s abilities. Hunter has all the qualities you’d want in a leader, and he’s not shy about any of his talents. If you haven’t read this series, it’s a must! If you have, you won’t be disappointed in the final chapter. 5 stars all the way!! Reviewed by Kathy

R.Weir is one of my favorite authors. I love his ability to kidnap me for a few days and take my mind away for suspense, plot twists and just plain good writing. I’m sad to see the Divine Devils series end, but this last adventure is a grand finale worthy of any book lovers “Want to Read “ list. Hunter and his team encounter previous foes and with their usual skills and team work engage the enemy to complete the mission. Hunter then goes solo to seek answers about his past and to seek peace for himself. A fantastic ending to the series. Reviewed by Charlene

With the release of Divine Retribution, I’m doing eBook promos on the other three books in the series. The first book, The Divine Devils will be free starting September 29th and run through October 3rd. You can find the free eBook on Amazon.

Here is a new video review of The Divine Devils you should check out via this link.

One of the events I did, the GoodGuys Car Show had a lot of amazing classic cars. Here are a few pictures, with more that can be found on my Fun Stuff page of the website.

At the Windsor Harvest Festival a couple weeks back, we had a torrential downpour hit us at around 3:45 PM. Fortunately, we got our tent walled in and no books were damaged. But Kim got drenched for the second time this year at an outdoor event while getting the final wall in place. And we were walking through rivers to get to our car it rained so much.

I have a busy month of October, with four events on three weekends. All those events are below, at the bottom of the newsletter, and on my Events website page.

Here is one batch, the curved one measuring 15 inches. And our pumpkin patch has been great, with many we’ll share with the kids in the neighborhood.

We got back last week from Killer Nashville no worse for the wear. My daughter Dakota and I had a fun time in Music City. However, the jet we were supposed to fly back on early Monday morning had mechanical issues that delayed us getting home by 5 1/2 hours. Other than the flight issue, the trip was fabulous. Clay Stafford and his staff always put on a wonderful event, with lots of opportunities to rub elbows with other authors and learn about the business. I was on three panels and even got to Moderate one which was fun. The topic was “Using Your Protagonist’s Goals to Drive the Story Forward.” I was on the panel with Chris Berg, Mary Dutta, Becki Willis, and S. Lee Manning. Below are a few pictures from the Killer Nashville event. You can see more via this link on my website.

Killer Nashville also has a bookstore with lots of books to purchase. I didn’t sell many, but did get a sale from Katherine Hutchinson-Hayes who stopped by to chat. I did her podcast last year after Killer Nashville where I talked about my upcoming release at the time, Lethal Blues. She was fascinated by the book and bought a copy. You can also listen to that podcast where we chatted via this link.

Kim and I plan on going to Killer Nashville again next year. As a bonus one of the other big Thriller Author Events, Bouchercon, will be in Nashville the weekend after Killer Nashville. Kim and I plan on taking our motorhome, driving to Nashville, and staying for two weeks so I can attend both events. Dakota and I scouted out three different RV parks and found a great one with excellent internet. This will be essential for Kim as she’ll work from the motorhome for many days over the two weeks so she doesn’t have to take a lot of vacation time.

I’ve wrapped up the editing for Divine Retribution and set the release date for September 29th. There will be early bird pricing for the eBook version of $3.99, a $3 discount over the final release price of $6.99. Here is the link for the eBook version you can pre-order.

The paperback will also be available to buy directly from me for $15 with free shipping (US Only). If you’re interested in pre-ordering you can do so via this link and it will ship as soon as I receive my author copies which will be late September or early October depending on how fast Amazon gets them printed. At this point, the price direct from Amazon will likely be $16.99 and available before the eBook release date if you prefer to purchase directly from them. That link should be live in the next week or so, once I approve the proof copy of the paperback which arrives later this week.

The cover has been completed. Below is a sneak peek. The full reveal will come before the release of my next newsletter. If you can’t wait to see it, you can view it on my website or via the pre-order link.

As a tease, here are the links to the Prologue and the First Chapter of Divine Retribution for you to read. The beginning sets up the book in a dramatic fashion.

If you haven’t read the three previous books in the Divine Devils Series, they are all available in eBook, Paperback, and on Kindle Unlimited. You can also purchase all three directly from me for $15 each with free shipping (US Only) via the direct order form link. If you’re interested in all four of the paperbacks, they can be ordered for $55 with free shipping (US Only) via the same link.

With Divine Retribution completed, I’ve started writing my next book. This will be the 10th book in the Jarvis Mann PI Series. For anyone who has read Lethal Blues, there is a teaser at the end of what new challenge awaits Jarvis. I expect this book will be out sometime next year. In the meantime, you can get the 9 previous books in the series in eBook, Paperback, or on Kindle Unlimited.

And since The Divine Devils series will completed with Divine Retribution, I’ve begun exploring writing a new series. The inspiration was born from an idea my wife Kim gave me. It’s in the early stages of development, though I have written a beginning to the book which is still rough, but has promise. I may give more teasers on this new series in the coming months.

September starts off my busy season when it comes to events. I have four straight weeks of events, starting with the Windsor Harvest Festival on September 3rd and 4th. Then the Goodguys Car Show on September 8th, 9th, and 10th. Followed by the Chapel Hill Church Summer Festival on Sept 16th. And then Broomfield Days Sept 23rd. A lot of events to get the craft fair season started. I’m looking forward to having a great time meeting and talking with people. All the information on these September shows is listed below in this email and can be found on the Events page on my website. If you plan on coming to any of them let me know. And if you’re interested in purchasing books, I can set them aside so they are available in case I sell out.

I have more Prolific Works free eBook giveaways to share with you. Clandestine Meetings – Mystery and Thriller GG runs until Sept 15th with 19 free eBooks to check out via this link.

End of Summer Spree – Mystery Book Giveaway has 21 free eBooks you can add to your reading list via this link.

Amateur Sleuth Hour – Investigating for Bounty starts Sept 1st and runs through Sept 30th. This giveaway currently has 9 ebooks available you can download when it goes live, via this link.

I need to get back to getting our motorhome ready for the Windsor Harvest Festival and the Goodguys Car Show. We’ll be driving on Saturday and staying at an RV Resort in Loveland Colorado. We are keeping our fingers crossed for good weather for the Windsor Harvest Festival as the two outdoor events I’ve done this year have ended early due to bad weather. Rain never being good when you’re selling paperbacks.

I hope everyone has a wonderful, relaxing, and safe Labor Day weekend.

All the best!!

I’m early with next month’s newsletter as I have a lot of news to share. First, Divine Retribution: The Divine Devils Final Chapter is now off to my editor, Tina, for any corrections. Once she is done, it will come back to me to review her suggestions, before it goes back to her one last time. And I’ve contacted my cover artist, Mia, to begin work on the cover. Which I will share here in advance on the newsletter when we get close to the release date. Right now, I’m looking at a late September or early October release of Divine Retribution if there are no major issues. This way I’ll have paperbacks of the new book available for all the events I do during the holiday season and for readers to purchase direct from me.

Here is an early synopsis of Divine Retribution:

After the murder of a woman he cared for, his world shattered and in turmoil, Hunter Divine has gone dark, living life off the grid. Fighting the internal demons that want to drag him into the mire, Hunter quietly begins a search for answers about his childhood. A mother he loved, who died too young. And the rolling stone father who left Hunter bitter and alone.

As Hunter digs deep, he learns secrets he never knew with ties to a woman in a powerful organization, who claims to be his mother. When assassins show up with orders to kill the other members of The Divine Devils, Hunter is forced to make a choice. Either ally with this evil woman in her wicked schemes or join his friends in the great beyond. A resolution he must find on his own, with the knowledge, death awaits him with every move he makes. The search down a lethal road for salvation and Divine Retribution.

With the Killer Nashville Authors Conference now less than a month away, I need assistance from my fans out there. My book Sold Souls: The Divine Devils Book 3 was not nominated as a finalist this year in the Silver Falchion Thriller category after I had won the last two years. But I still have a chance to win another award with your help. There is a Killer Nashville Readers’ Choice Award you can vote for and Sold Souls is one of the choices, along with many other great books. You can vote only once but can vote for 10 different books. You can vote via this link and you’ll find Sold Souls near the bottom of the lengthy list. Voting ends at midnight on July 25th so you’ll need to act right away. Thanks for taking the time to register your vote.

After several false starts and three previous narrators, the fourth time being the charm, I’m finally thrilled to announce I’ve found the right person to narrate The Divine Devils. Phillip Polite has begun the work and I hope to have it available to listen to in its entirety in a couple of months. Here is the link with a preview of Chapter One for you to listen to. I hope you enjoy it.

And you can listen to Chapter One of the Audiobook Tracking A Shadow which is narrated by Eric Priessman. This book along with The Case of the Missing Bubble Gum Card is now available on Audible and Amazon.

The Orchard ‘Til Dark Event this past Friday had to end early when a nasty thunderstorm hit shortly after 7PM. I still did a drawing for a $10 Amazon Gift Card from those who bought books or signed up for the newsletter. The winner was Aleaha who has been contacted. Thanks to her for buying The Divine Devils and all the other people who stopped by my table.

This month there are two Prolific Works free eBook giveaways. The first is Under Lock and Key – Mystery and Thriller GG with 23 eBooks which runs until July 31st via this link.

End of Summer Spree – Mystery Book Giveaway which doesn’t start until August 1st and runs through October 1st with several books available via this link.

This week I have jury duty on Thursday in the Westminster Municipal Court. I’ve been called for jury duty several times and even served on a jury once. Experiences I enjoyed, the process being interesting to observe on how our legal system works. My next book in the Jarvis Mann PI Series will have some courtroom drama in it, so I hope I learn a few things which can make the courtroom scenes take shape in a realistic way.

With all the talk of books being pulled from libraries because of their content, I will leave you with these sage words of wisdom!

All the best!!
