A sneak preview of the audio book cover for Sam’s Song. The audio book will be released later this summer on Amazon, iTunes and Audible.
Published today in print and as an eBook. This is the third book in the Sam Smith Mystery Series and in this book someone is out to murder Sam. At one point in the story she constructs a list of possible suspects and concludes, ruefully, that “I’m about as popular as a wasp in a nudist colony.” Is the assassin on her list, or is she looking in the wrong direction? I guess you have to read the book to find out. More details can be found on my Amazon page http://www.amazon.co.uk/Hannah-Howe/e/B00OK7E24E/ref=ntt_athr_dp_pel_1
Sam’s Song
I am currently revisiting this book because it’s in production as an audio book, beautifully read by Suzan Lynn Lorraine. I was wary at first as I re-read the book, fearful that I’d find nothing but flaws. However, as a reader and not the writer, I was delighted to find that I still like the book and that it still packs an emotional punch. I am very proud of the book and the way it deals with some sensitive subjects. I also think my decision to include humour in the story was the right one because it adds balance and credibility to the characters.
Sam’s Song is the story of a woman coming to terms with her violent past while looking forward to a brighter future. The book combines mystery, romance and humour and lays the foundation for the series.
As I write this review I’m writing Ripper, book four in the series, and it’s interesting for me to see how Sam has developed as a person over the course of the four books. The Sam Smith Mystery Series is essentially about Sam’s journey through life and if you decide to join her on that journey I hope you enjoy the ride.
