Virginia “Ginger” Lightley is the owner of Coreyville Coffee Cakes, a popular bakery in East Texas. Customers drive from miles away to visit the little shop for a taste of her original creations.
It’s a shock to the whole community when a young man drops dead across town after eating one of her famous cakes.

Greg Tenorly Mystery Series Greg Tenorly is private music teacher, living a quiet, lonely life in a small town. Until he meets a certain redhead. Suddenly, his life is filled with danger. And romance. These are not whodunits. But they have plenty of mystery/suspense.
Bicycle Shop Murder By the end of the first week, three people connected with the case are dead, and Greg is beginning to fear for his own life. He is now convinced that a powerful Dallas attorney is directing the murder spree in his little town. But why? He is determined to find out. But his investigation just might earn him a spot at the top of the hit list. “I never wanted it to end.”
“Read it in one sitting and I stayed up way too late in order to finish it.” “Kept me guessing.” more reader comments… |

Hideaway Hospital Murders But his investigation leads him into a hornet’s nest of dark secrets, old grudges, jealousy, and greed. Now, caught in the crossfire between two families, Greg’s life is in serious jeopardy. By morning, more bodies will be headed for the morgue. The only question is whether Greg Tenorly will be among them. “Every twist and turn was unexpected and well written.”
“Wow! It seems like I was watching a movie when I read this book.” “The tense moments, the hot love scenes, and the exciting characters all came together perfectly.” more reader comments… |

Illusion of Luck Larry had been lucky all his life. He had everything he could possibly want. Except a publishing contract. So, the fact that his first six mystery novels had been rejected did not dissuade him from starting on book seven. Ironically, he finally found success when he began to publish an online account of his own downward spiral into depravity and murder. Is luck real? Or is it just an illusion? Some people have to find out the hard way. “I was entranced throughout.”
“OMG–I read all this in ONE NIGHT!! This was an awesome story! I can’t wait to read the others!” “More than a mystery, it’s a lovely love story with some sizzling romance and budding relationships to get involved with.” more reader comments… |

Fly the Rain But the war of words Greg is dreading becomes the least of his worries after he and his family cross paths with a cold-blooded killer. “You made me cry.”
“Great Work. Loved it.” “You have a great power of imagination sir.” more reader comments… |

Andrea - Actually, I’m not worried about getting published (in the traditional sense) anymore. People are enjoying my books online, and I self-publish printed versions of the books for those who prefer hard copy. Thanks!

I just finished reading Bicycle Shop Murder, really enjoyed it so much, I just can’t help moving to the next chapter each time when I finished reading one, even though it’s getting late and I need to get up early the next Morning. I’m also so happy to find out you have published the series of Greg Tenorly Mystery on line, can’t wait to start reading the Hideaway Hospital Murders … thank you very much !

Thanks, Henry. Glad you enjoyed Bicycle Shop Murder. There’s nothing better than to hear that people just can’t put down your book. Not that I want to deprive you of your sleep. But those are the kind of books I like to read, so they’re the kind I try to write. Thanks!

Thanks, Hojjat. Hope you enjoyed it.

Dear Robert,
I have something to tell you about Fly the Rain
in my opinion you shoud let us know about the destiny of Craig his brother and father and what happend for relationship between Craig and that lady and these are the questions that remain in a reader mind for a while , beside ,as the story traces to the end you make it like report and some parts are getting difficult to believe for example how Angie’s father changed his mood and easily accepted the marriage ? because of his grand daughter ? here is clear that the writer of the story meddles and wants to make the readers believe it , the characters are not playing their roles . or why Sondra did not kill Greg for sure and wanted to accuse him for a murder ? it had no benefit for her because she had kild alot of persons so it was reasonable she tried to kill Greg in a way that reader for a while feels that Greg is killed too . you had omniscient point of view so it was expected.
the power points that attracted me they were about some live images that you had for the scenes and these were only my opinion abot Fly the Rain as a friend and I’m eager to read your another stories Mr.Robert
Best Regards
July 19th, 2008 at 3:10 am
Hojjat, I’m sorry that you feel I let you down with Fly the Rain. Hopefully you will enjoy my other books better. Thanks.

Hi,
Stumbled upon your site from a google alert I have setup.
I’m a professional ghostwriter and your site is very interesting! I’m surprised you haven’t self-published your work.
If you’re interested, email me. Be sure to check out my site: http://www.Taryn-Simpson.blogspot.com and http://self-publishing-services.blogspot.com/
By the way, I’m from Southeast TX (Groves)…now living in Nashville, TN.
Best,
Taryn
July 27th, 2008 at 6:42 am
Taryn, actually I am self-published. My first three books are available at Amazon and most other online bookstores. My other books will follow. Thanks for your interest and best wishes to you with your work.
July 30th, 2008 at 8:46 am
I have read three books so far and I love them all

August 5th, 2008 at 3:41 pm
Thanks, Lulu. The best way to keep up with my writing is to sign up for my email list. I called “Fly the Rain” the final book of the Greg Tenorly series. But at some point I might decide to add another one. Who knows?
August 6th, 2008 at 7:21 am
Ok well I hope you put me on it and I look forward to reading some more…
