A Short Story by: William J. Dezell Jr. Genre: Mystery Editor: Tanja Cilia Line editor: Greta Gunselman Cover artist: Suzannah Safi Words: 6892 Pages: 24 ISBN: 978-1-927361-60-3 Price: $2.50 Back Cover: Soon-to-be private investigator Raymond Jaye has a couple of problems. One is a sopping wet blonde who just beat on his door then collapsed into his arms trying to pass him a message. The other is that he has no idea who she is or why she thought his carpet would be a good place to pass out.
Guided by the experience of fourteen years as a Detroit cop and the attitude of the Old Time Radio detectives, he follows the meager trail of clues she left behind. Along the way, he swaps wisecracks with a surly local cop and trades punches with a pair of thugs before ending up face to face with the man behind it all. A man willing to kill to keep his secrets.
If Ray can get through the next twenty-four hours, he just might be able to open for business. In the meantime, the show is about to begin. Cue the Sax. Excerpt: He looked me over from head to toe, pausing just long enough on my hook to suggest to me that he knew I wasn’t looking for Martsen or his sons.
“I never heard of them. Frankly I don’t think you have either. Masu on the other hand, well, I think you know him, don’t you?”
“He should.” It was Ugly’s voice. “I don’t think I hit him that hard.”
I spun to my left to find Ugly right beside me and his little friend in the doorway behind me with a pistol. “Tiny” stood five ten and probably weighed a solid one-eighty. He also had a pair of slightly blackened eyes, not unlike my own. There didn’t seem to be much chance of fighting them, and with Tiny covering me, I’d never manage to get my own gun out.
The Boss was kind enough to take care of that for me. He set my gun on the desk, right in front of him, and a good five feet from me. I’d never reach it. “Now then, Ray,” said the Boss. “Let’s have the real reason you came here.” About the Author: Bill Dezell has always been a mystery fan, starting with Scooby-doo and Encyclopedia Brown. He began writing fiction based on a video game, using his own characters in mystery plots based in the super-heroic world of the game. This experience, along with a strong interest in real world law enforcement, and many years of observing people first hand, led him to write more mainstream fiction. He writes in Northern Utah, where he lives with his girlfriend of twelve years, her two cats, one dog, and a smattering of free-range jumping spiders.

OUR READERS REVIEWS:
Elixir is fantasy at its best. Katie Caroll draws us into her world with ease, her well-polished writing style and flow holding us captive until the end. I especially liked the relationship between Katora and her sister Kylene, obviously drawn from real life. I can't wait to read the sequel.
I was pleasantly surprised when I opened this very charming and witty book to read on the skytrain. But I have to say it was kind of embarrassing. I couldn't stop giggling out loud at Maggie Lyon's humour. People kept looking at me, and I tried my hardest to hold in the laughter, but it was impossible. What a delightful story! What child wouldn't love this. It's a story for 6-10 year olds. It's a great book to read to your children when they're young or by themselves when they're older. If your child likes Geronimo Stilton, they'll fall in love with Dewie the little dragon and his friend Jones the toad. I hope Maggie Lyons will turn this into a series.
Joy Smith pulled me into the story on the very first pages. Fast moving, first I hated Victor, than I love him, than I hated until I loved him. And Marisol with her guarded heart had me hoping throughout that she'd open it again to love.
I loved her descriptions. They created such visuals, I felt I was traveling and discovering Colombia with Victor.
Ms. Smith writes believable, flawed characters that I wound up cheering and caring for on each page. I can't wait to read her next book. Goodreads Reader Review - Five Stars
"...murder, mystery and intrigue..plus did I mention our hero is a witch? Tex and his best friend Olivia are brilliant characters, really well written and I love tex's dad. Can't wait to read more about tex in the future! -Amazon Reader Review
I really enjoyed the twists and turns of the plot of this novel. From Annabelle putting her life in danger when running away from Boarding School where she has lived since the age of five to her tenacious pursuit in finding clues as to her origins.
She is rescued by Roland, who is too much of a gentleman not to help the intriguing young lady. I relished the suspense of the reciprocal desire between Roland and Belle which is thwarted by misunderstanding after misunderstanding and prevents them achieving mutual fulfilment. The reader yearns for the truth to replace the false pretences and for Roland and Belle to overcome each other's prejudices.
Rosemary Morris' major and minor characters spring to life. I sympathised with Annabelle and found Roland charming. Apart from this, Rosemary's great attention to every aspect of the Regency era is impressive.
False Pretences is a ripping read and I look forward to reading this author's next novel. - F.Way- Amazon Review
