If you noticed, last week, there was no weekly post. I could not completely look at Paul’s trial before Felix from Acts. It was a busy week with meetings, grandchild birthdays, and a few other little tasks. One of those tasks was to complete my next novel, Peace at Battle Mountain, which can now be purchased on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or IngramSparks.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"\"<\/a>Peace at Battle Mountai<\/em>n continues the adventures of Arthur and Gwynn Stone amid personal failure, economic chaos, legal problems, and (as usual) murders. I’ll be interested to see whether my friends like it. \u00a0This installment of the \u00a0Arthus Stone series of economic crime and murder mysteries places Houston attorney Arthur Stone in the crosshairs of corporate and personal murderous forces. Years after surviving a car bombing during the 1980s banking crisis, Arthur is now one of Texas\u2019s most respected and successful lawyers, a standing achieved at the cost of his marriage and his children\u2019s well-being.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n

One reviewer describes the book this way:<\/p>\n

\n

Amid a personal crisis, he is involved in a lawsuit against a wiley opponent that involves murder. While Arthurgrapples with concerns for his children\u2019s safety, new dangers await him and his investigators as they search for missing evidence and killers still at large. These searches take us through corporate suites, country club neighborhoods, exclusive resorts, and charming rural retreats populated by equally memorable characters.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Interesting and informative, the story\u2019s pace and varied plot strands are well managed. Often, the characters themselves explain judicial, police, and financial procedures, even to the point of enlightening us on the sleight\u00a0of hand accounting that disguises unwise investments\u2014otherwise known as fraud. Setting Peace at Battle Mountain<\/em> apart from its genre is the leavening of spiritual yearning, which haunts Arthur Stone and guides his trusted advisors. \u2014Granville Sydnor Hill<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n
Amazon, in particular, will not allow people who do not buy the book through their website to do reviews. I hate to ask my readers and friends to go to the expense of buying online, but I must tell you that it does make a huge difference. In particular, it takes about 50 reviews before Amazon takes note of a book.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
Before the end of this week, I intend to post the next installment of the end of Paul’s ministry from Acts.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Have a blessed week,<\/div>\n
