RISKY BUSINESS – the Kovak & Quaid Mystery Series Continues

Book four of the Kovak & Quaid Mystery Series by Toni LelandI'm always thrilled to announce that I've finished a book, but I'm particularly happy with the release of RISKY BUSINESS. Why? Because writing a series is not for the faint of heart!

I never dreamed when I started that something that seemed so simple could be so challenging. I mean, how hard is it to write stories in the same setting with the same people? I discovered that keeping everything straight for myself and my readers, as well as keeping my readers engaged with the characters for the long-term was not that easy.

So, I offer you Book 4 of the series and hope that you will enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it. Kovak & Quaid thank you!

Authors, Readers, and Book Reviews, Oh My!

by Toni Leland

All the experts tell me that I should blog frequently, tell the world what I know or think, or at least stay on the radar screen.

Frankly, I believe that if someone else can say it better, I'd rather share than try to reinvent the wheel!


So, my latest excitement is Anne R. Allen's blog post about the value of reviews and how they affect authors. Her insights are valuable and should be absorbed by anyone who writes for the public.




Additionally, the "review of the future" will be as it always has been: discoverability through word-of-mouth. I plan to keep this image where I can see it frequently, to remind me to share the wealth of wonderful reading I've experienced. Feel free to do the same for yourself.
