When I was a girl, I loved reading Nancy Drew Mysteries; and about 3 years ago I inherited some of the books originally published in the 1930s. I read them again and rediscovered the world of my childhood hero. I decided to write a PG-Rated, humourous series called The Nancy Keene Mysteries that would appeal to babyboomers like myself who remember the perfect and precocious teenage sleuth. The following titles below are half-off this month: that's only 99 cents.
Once again use coupon code SSW50 at checkout exclusively at Smashwords.com This promotion expires at the end of the month also.
The eBooks in The Nancy Keene Mystery Series are:
"The Missing Bachelor Farmer" finds Nancy traveling to Lake Wobegon with her father on a sight-seeing trip and a chance to see the towns that Garrison Keillor bases his fictional town upon. While there, a bachelor farmer goes missing and Nancy becomes part of the search party. She and her father also run into Garrison Keillor as he is leaving a bookstore in St. Paul--which really happened to my husband and I when we were there; which was quite a thrill!
"The Buried Treasure on Route 66" finds Nancy at her French-themed, 18th birthday party. Her doting father doesn't like overhearing her boyfriend say that she looks hot in her French maid's outfit. Her Dad also doesn't like the fact the his little girl is going off to college in another state. How will he handle letting her go? Find out as she, her father, and her boyfriend go on a roadtrip on Route 66; accompanied by a little old lady who Nancy is trying to help find a buried will.
"The Stolen Mask" finds Nancy accompaning her father to London on one of his business trips. The hotel where they stay has a guest who is a movie star: Daniel Craig. Nancy loves James Bond and experiences her first teenage crush when she sees the actor who plays him walks out his hotel room door, first thing in the morning, and dressed only in a towel around his waist. When someone steals his BAFTA award from his hotel room, Nancy tries to impress him by figuring out who did it.
Here's another book that's 99 cents this month at Smashwords with code SSW50 at checkout, "The Summer of Love: A Trip Back to 1968." When I was 13 and my pregnant sister was 18, she and I went to an outdoor rock festival that was later compared to Woodstock. I include our Newport Pop Festival experience in this time travel novel where the two of us find ourselves back at the concert, at the house where we grew up, and talking to loved-ones who have long since died.
