Dear friend Joel Pierson’s baby is here! Don’t Kill The Messenger, the first in a trilogy of mystery novels, that is. From the book description:
Tristan Shays is on a mission he doesn’t understand. For two years, he’s been plagued by terrifying images of strangers in peril and given orders to warn the victims before it’s too late. If he ignores the directive, he’s stricken with unbearable pain until he finds and helps the people from his visions.
On a September night in Key West, Tristan warns exotic dancer Rebecca Traeger that she must quit her job and return to college in Ohio or risk grave consequences. The last thing Tristan expects is for her to hitch a ride with him. During their journey, he discovers that she may hold the key to his understanding of the mysterious assignments he has been receiving. As the assignments continue, Rebecca finds herself in increasingly dangerous situations, by just being with Tristan.
What is it with everyone returning to Ohio already? And the author doesn’t even live in this state!
Jokes aside, Joel and his lovely wife, Dana, are writers, actors, radio artists and, most importantly, ardent supporters of New Orleans and all that its rich heritage entails. I am informed that Joel was awarded the publisher’s Editor’s Choice and Rising Star designations based on the book’s merits, and there are other awards if it sells well. So hurry to Amazon.com and get yourself a copy this week!
