Blurb:
The Other Side has hired
Driscoll Investigations. The owner of Stone’s Throw Lighthouse Bed and
Breakfast insists that a Tarot reading told her to hire Giulia to evict the
family ghost. Since the ghost is cutting gas lines and flooding cellars, Giulia
and her husband Frank head to the B&B to discover the real perpetrator.
The client also has a
family legend: A highwayman who stole a pile of gold. Giulia has a pile of
suspects, including a psychic the client hired to conduct weekly séances. So
much for romance with Frank at this getaway.
Instead, Giulia’s
juggling arson, creepy clown dolls, and the psychic going all Exorcist on her.
Then the ghost tries to push the client off the lighthouse and throw Giulia
down three flights of stairs. It should’ve known better than to mess with an
ex-nun. Giulia has connections and she’s about to use them.
About The Author:
Baker of brownies and
tormenter of characters, Alice Loweecey recently celebrated her thirtieth year
outside the convent. She grew up watching Hammer horror films and Scooby-Doo
mysteries, which explains a whole lot. When she’s not creating trouble for
Giulia Driscoll, she can be found growing her own vegetables (in summer) and
cooking with them (the rest of the year).
Review
by Rochelle Weber:
Giulia Driscoll is a
delight. I was the only Protestant on my block growing up, so I vicariously
went to parochial school. While I didn’t actually have nuns wrapping my
knuckles with rulers, the boys on my block sometimes did. Somehow I have difficulty
picturing Giulia doing that to her students. I have a feeling she’d be a kinder
nun who would keep order with compassion and humor, and whose weekly confession
would include her ongoing coffee habit. (Yeah, I hear ya groaning.)
At any rate, Second to Nun was a real page burner,
and Ms. Loweecey did something not too many mystery writers manage to do. She
kept me guessing whodunit to the very end of the book. I kind of had part of it
right, but not all of it. I love it when an author manages to surprise me. Woo Hoo!
Thanks, Ms. Loweecey! I plan to go back and read the beginning of this series
when I have time (hollow laugh), and I look forward to snagging more of your
books when they hit Net Galley (I hope). By all means, grab Second to Nun. You’ll definitely enjoy
it.

You’ll notice we always
include the publisher’s buy link. That’s because authors usually receive 40-50%
of the net proceeds from the publisher. Editors and cover artists usually
receive about 5%. When you buy a book from Amazon, Barnes & Noble or
another third-party vendor, they take a hefty cut and the author, editors and
cover artists receive their cuts from what is left. So, if a book costs $5.99
at E-Book Publisher.com and you buy from there, the author will receive about
$2.40-$2.99. If you buy the book at Amazon, the author will receive about $1.70-$2.10.
Download the file from
the publisher onto your computer as you would any other file. I’ve created a
folder for books on my computer, with subfolders by source (Marketing for
Romance Writers, Net Galley, Authors who find me on Kindle lists, etc.). That
way, if there’s a glitch with your Kindle, the books are on your computer. Some
publishers send books in all digital formats. If my Kindle breaks and my kids
buy me a Nook, I won’t have to replace all of my books. If you have a Kindle
and your hubby has a Nook, you won’t have to buy separate copies, so buying
directly from the publisher can save you money.
Moving the file from
your computer to your e-reader is as easy as transferring any file from your
computer to a USB flash drive. Plug the larger USB end of your e-reader
charging chord into a USB port on your computer and simply move the file from the
folder into which you’ve downloaded the book to Documents/Books directory on
your e-reader. Your author will be happy you did when he/she sees his/her
royalty statement.
