This is my new novel which will be available September 2017, $9.95 ebook, 18.95 trade paperback (the hard copy discounted only at special readings/signings). It's the first in a romantic detective series that right now numbers 17. In this one, The Magic Cape Caper, the middle-aged wide-cracking private eye Nick Christmas and his sidekick receptionist Randi (his "girl Friday") investigate the abduction of Dr. Bertram James, inventor of an invisibility cloak for Syntek Labs, with a confrontation at a Portland, Oregon, foundry, a surprise resolution to the kidnapping--and an exciting climax. It all ends with an even more unexpected touch that promises more things to come!
