Dear Reader…
On a rainy summer day in my youth, I pulled a copy of The Purloined Letter from my father’s bookshelf. When the rain ended and the sun came out, I could not tear myself away from the mystery. How did Dupin figure out where the letter was hidden? I fell in love with mysteries and devour them to this day, rain or shine. To tell the truth, to write you this letter, I had to put down Scorpion’s Tail by Preston & Child. Nothing fascinates the mind like a clever, twisting mystery.
At the same time, nothing satisfies the writer’s mind like a fan letter exclaiming, “It kept me guessing right to the bitter end!”
When I sat down to write The Morpheus Decision, I wanted to make it as enchanting to read as it was to write. And, if the early reviews are any barometer, that’s what I’ve achieved. I started with the foundation of a good solid mystery: a killer right behind her and a murder weapon only our heroine can reveal. But I didn’t want to stop there. In these modern times, I felt my heroine had to expose the clues while dealing with issues of gender, race, class, and income. And yet, I could not allow any of those problems to overshadow the mystery. Nor could she triumph without a rewarding mix of humor and pathos. She had to be a smart, confident woman … who can fall in love if she wants to.
If you’re familiar with Pia Sabel’s previous adventures (typically averaging 4.8 stars on Amazon), you’ll appreciate this fresh, new look at what drives her and what pisses her off. If you haven’t read the first eleven books, I promise you a heroine you’ll love and admire. Along the way, I guarantee you will be riveted to your seat from the blood on the sidewalk in chapter one to the answer she gives that is the last word in the book.
Peace and Love,
Seeley James
