Author Tina Whittle's next outing is a hit with Deeper Than the Grave

Tai Randolph returns November 4 in Tina Whittle’s latest release, Deeper Than the Grave. When a tornado damages a historic site, including a tomb, Randolph joins the search team seeking to recover missing artifacts. When the search turns up a body which isn’t part of the missing historic objects, evidence points to Randolph’s late Uncle Dexter. Randolph must find the real killer to clear her uncle’s name and reputation as well as save her own life.

The struggling firearms and historical reproductions shop her uncle left her may become valueless unless she can prove him innocent of murder and theft charges. Nothing about this case rings true with the Uncle Dexter she remembers. Randolph’s boyfriend, security expert Trey Seaver, assists her in her endeavors and tries to protect her in the process.

Author Tina Whittle is making a list and checking it twice...

I forgive Whittle for being Georgian (sorry, Tina. I couldn't resist), since she writes such wonderful mysteries. In her upcoming blog, she's taking some of the mystery out of giving books as gifts. Her Book Happy Blog Hop will provide a variety of suggestions for  books. Check them out for great ideas. While you're there, you can subscribe to her blog, too.

Don't forget Whittle's own Tai Randolph mysteries, "The Dangerous Edge of Things" and "Darker Than Any Shadow." And you'll find reviews of many great books in a number of genres right here!

And now a word from our sponsor, ME! My story, "Little Miss Sasquatch," begins on page 244 of "Not Your Mother's Book on Being a Stupid Kid." The book is available in both print and electronic form, and (IMHO) makes a great Christmas gift for anyone who enjoys hilarious adventures. I thought I was a stupid kid, but I'm discovering as I read that I'm not the only one out there! Somehow we all survived, so I guess stupidity isn't a terminal condition. Even better, the book is part of a riotous series of books on a number of subjects.

By the way, the publishers are looking for stories for other anthologies, so check out the topics and tell them your story!

"The Dangerous Edge of Things" by Tina Whittle

"Tai Randolph has a problem-she’s found a body in a car across the street from her brother’s driveway. Add to that the unexpected presence of representatives from a local security firm pushing her around, and she’s definitely having a bad day.

Tina Whittle takes readers on a thrill-ride through the underside of corporate Atlanta in 'The Dangerous Edge of Things,' her debut novel from Poisoned Pen Press. Her heroine possesses strong opinions about a lot of things, not all of them based on fact. Tai has many lessons to learn along the way to the solution of the murder."
