Hope everyone's weekend is going well. I have been having a social weekend, but I am also battling a cold and now cannot speak at all. I am sure that the quiet Sunday ahead for me will be appreciated by Barry...
But today is not about my voice, but rather it is about my friend Mary Mesheau's voice. Many of you will recognize that name as Mary often comments here and has her own blog, Rewired for Fun.

Anyhow, I am happy to report that Mary's wonderful book is now available for order from Amazon!
Writing under her maiden name of Sawyer, Mary has crafted a taut murder mystery that centers around a horrific murder which may or may not have been committed by one of Principal Stella Page's students, a First Nations student named Lillian.
Did I mention that Mary is a retired school principal? Well she is, and she uses all of her considerable years of experience to paint a compelling story of a principal's sense of duty to her family, her community and most of all, to her students. There is plenty of suspense and best of all, Mary really provides us with an accurate portrayal of an individual torn, emotionally and professionally, between the conflicting demands of many. For the police, Stella's participation is the key to solving the case, but they don't reckon on her dogged determination to support her students first.
You can order Beyond Me: A Principal Mystery at Amazon.ca or Amazon.com. Right now the site says it will not ship for 3 to 5 weeks, but I believe that the wait will be much shorter! I hope you will order it, both to enjoy the story and to support our Mary!
Well done Mary! How exciting to see your hard work paying off!
Have a great Sunday all!

That is exciting. I love mysteries. I also look forward to reading your first book. You are certainly surrounded with inspirational creative people!
ReplyDeleteI really am surrounded by creative types. I have been rewriting and writing, but am following the long and winding road of trying to find an agent and publisher. It is a long process I guess!
DeleteThank you for the kind words Wendy. I hope people will find my first book a great summer read.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure they will Mary!
DeleteWendy, this is OT but so odd and funny that I had to share. I haven't been around the blogs much due to work craziness, but for some reason I dreamed last night that I broke into your house. There was a lovely fresh-baked round loaf on the sideboard, and I decided to have a slice, but I nicked the top of the sideboard because I didn't use a cutting board. I felt terribly guilty so I ran away with the slice of bread and an apple. So strange--where does this stuff come from? (In my dream your dining room was a beautiful pale blue and the furniture was Swedish Country.)
ReplyDeleteInteresting! The dining room is being painted pale blue in next couple of weeks...so long as you got so etching to eat I am happy!
DeleteI am very excited for Mary's book and will be placing my order.
ReplyDeleteHexicon's dream is hilarious - wish I was a Jungian dream analyst!!
CSW - I wonder what it meant as well... I never did care for that Swedish furniture... :-)

ReplyDeleteThanks Lane!
DeleteThanks Lane
DeleteLooks like a great read, and what a fantastic achievement for Mary to have a published book under her belt.
ReplyDeleteI have a question about that beach… is it a lake? I have never seen cows at the beach before in Australia, I'm not sure if they'd like salt water?! xx
Hi Heidi - it's an island in the middle of the river here. They boat the cows over and the graze there all summer!
DeleteVery exciting! And I know yours will join hers on the bookshelf one day very soon!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen. I am going the more traditional publishing route, so sadly I think it will be awhile yet! But I will definitely let everyone know!
DeleteCongratulations to Mary - I love a good mystery, I'll have to check it out.
ReplyDeletethanks Patricia!
DeleteThanks Patricia
DeleteFantastic! Congratulations to your friend Mary, I wish her all the best in this adventure!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Mary, the doll with those great gams!! There's nothing like a great mystery for pure escapism. Perfect for summer reading.
