Praise for TEXAS DEAD
🔷 “It’s so cinematic…crying out for that screenplay,”
~Alex Lewczuk of Siren Radio (UK).
🔷 “A funny, shocking, and engaging thriller … the perfect introduction to a powerful new thriller series and an equally powerful protagonist and lead detective fans can get behind. A novel thats imagery really makes the narrative feel like a network show that is meant to be seen, the novel proves to be the perfect starting thriller of the 2021 Summer reading season. If you haven’t yet, be sure to grab your copy today.”

🔷 “Mystery & Crime lovers, I suggest you don’t miss this one. I got hooked within the first few pages. There are more twists and turns than in a corkscrew right to the end.”
~JC Ryan author of the best selling Rex Dalton thriller series. www.Jcryanbooks.com
🔷 “The story is fast paced and well condensed by the author In addition to the fine character portrayal of Mackenzie, her partner, Kobe Jameson, a Jamaican man, is equally well painted, and the interaction of the two detectives makes for an excellent combination in exploring murder – and making the story humorous.”
~Grady Harp, Amazon Hall of Fame Top 100 Reviewer
🔷 “I finished the book yesterday. If you were looking for your first beach read of the season, this book may be what you were looking for. ‘Texas Dead’ is the first book in the Mackenzie Michaels mystery series. This is a fast-paced exciting book that takes place in Corpus Christi, Texas. I really did enjoy this book. It has a solid mystery and a blooming romance. There is also comic snark between detectives Michaels and Jameson that breaks up the high drama of the story. I can’t wait for future books in the series.”
~ Mollien Fote Osterman, Reviewer
