Hope y'all don't mind if I drop this quick holiday-season reminder of the mystery novel I have written that features a Model A enthusiast as its main character.

Perhaps it could make a nice gift for a loved one who faithfully supports you and your hobbies?

Here is the link:

http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008NEZXHU

(I've been a reporter at The Indianapolis Star for 20 years, and this is my first work of fiction. The Model A on the book's cover is my father's '31 Tudor sedan.)

If your interest is in a "hard copy" of the book, by the way, rather than the Kindle download, I can save you $1.50 off the Amazon price if you email me at [email protected].

Thanks, sincerely, for any interest, and here's wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

When you say "Hard Copy", is that the "paperback" that's listed on Amazon? (as opposed to the Kindle version), but not a "hardback".

Bill McCleery · 12-06-2012, 07:30 PM

That's correct. The book is softcover. (It's 5.25" X 8" -- not small like a "dime-store paperback.")

Maybe I could have chosen a better term than "hard copy." I just meant to distinguish between a physical book as opposed to a digitally downloaded book....

Thanks!

I thought that's what you meant, just wanted to confirm that.

FYI - I purchased the book from Amazon a few months ago, and read and enjoyed the book very much while on vacation.

Thanks so much, Pat!!

After I told my wife about it earlier this year, she purchased and enjoyed the book on her Kindle.

Bill McCleery · 12-28-2012, 09:48 PM

Thanks, sir! And tell your wife thanks!

glenn in camino · 12-28-2012, 10:03 PM

I've read it. Good story.

bogiediver · 12-28-2012, 11:09 PM

Got the book from Bill...

My wife read it and said it was excellent... I plan to read it as soon as I finish another I'm into - unfortunately, I'm a slow reader and the one I'm working on is kinda big...

Thanks Bill - particularly enjoyed the very first page...

Pete / MA · 12-29-2012, 08:34 AM

Good book, Bill. I enjoyed reading the Kindle version on my Android tablet & phone. Thanks!

Bill McCleery · 12-31-2012, 09:09 AM

Hey, I'm really humbled by the response here. This is the first time in a few days I've stopped back at FordBarn.com, and I see a half dozen new comments on this thread, all of them very encouraging. THANKS!

Afan · 12-31-2012, 10:23 AM

Great Book!

Rene R · 01-01-2013, 07:05 PM

I have it on order and expect my (printed) copy Thursday. I'm really looking forward to reading it this weekend.

Bill McCleery · 01-02-2013, 06:07 PM

Many thanks!!!

Rene R · 01-14-2013, 08:25 PM

I just finished reading "Henry's Lady" and I must say that it's one of the most engrossing novels I've read in a long time. Naturally I love seeing a Model A play a key role, but even without that bonus it's a really exciting story, and a real page-turner with a particularly satisfying and well-crafted ending.

I'll be looking forward to more of your work in the future. Huge thumbs up!

stallerl · 01-15-2013, 01:15 AM

Wow I can't wait to read "Henry's Lady! I bought a copy from Bill a few weeks ago but haven't started reading it yet because I was on call for jury duty and was waiting to see if I was called to report which I wasn't. I thought it would be a great way to pass time while waiting and waiting...
But now that I won't be called in I'll start the book tomorrow.
