Default Mystery novel featuring Model A enthusiast

As shopping season gets in gear, I just wanted to mention that the Kindle e-book edition of my mystery novel "Henry's Lady: A Jim Ragan Mystery" is now only 99 CENTS!

http://www.amazon.com/Henrys-Lady-Ji.../dp/B008NEZXHU

The print edition remains $10.95.

Thanks, everyone, and happy motoring!!

Bill,

I bought it and read it last year. Great book.

Model A'ers - Highly recommended read.

Thanks, Ted and Afordman!

Unfortunately, my father sold the Model A featured on the cover. I am trying to talk him into buying another. He is a frugal, budget-minded kind of guy, but if anyone knows of any solid A's for sale here in Indiana, just let me know...

I also read it last year and thoroughly enjoyed it. For 99 cents I will buy it for my Kindle and read it again! When's the next book coming Bill?

Unfortunately, I cannot report any new books in the works beyond general conceptualizing. But thanks very much for the encouragement!

I really enjoyed writing the book, but family and my full-time newspaper job make a sequel a bit difficult. Maybe if I could have sold a few thousand more copies of the first one...

Bill is a talented writer. If you love Model A's you will definitely enjoy this book.

I own the book and I bought one for a friend, but now I will get the Kindle as well.

I recommend you buy the book and give them as Christmas gifts.

I'd love to see a sequel. If we want to see more books with our beloved Model A's in them and books that support family values, we should support writers like Bill.

Just my 2 cents.

Thanks, Neil. The Model A community has been very kind. I cannot complain at all. MARC even stocks the book in its online store, which I appreciate very much!

Maybe my 2014 resolution will be to get cracking on a new one! That would probably mean a publication date of about January 2016 at best.....

Just bought the Kindle version as I gave my printed copy to a fellow Model A owner to enjoy. I'm in the middle of reading another book (James Patterson novel) but when I finish it I'll read Bill's story again.
If you haven't read it, buy it. If you don't read much, buy it! It's a fun, entertaining easy read. You'll enjoy it!
