Here's a last look before we say goodbye...
Lauren
Carr fell in love with mysteries when her mother read Perry Mason to her at
bedtime. The first installment in the Joshua Thornton mysteries, A Small Case of Murder was a finalist
for the Independent Publisher Book Award. A
Reunion to Die For was released in hardback in June 2007. Both of these
books are in re-release.
Lauren
is also the author of the Mac Faraday Mysteries, which takes place in Deep
Creek Lake, Maryland. The first two books in her series, It’s Murder, My Son and Old
Loves Die Hard have been getting rave reviews from readers and reviewers.
The next book in this series, Shades of
Murder, will be released May 2012. This will be Lauren’s fifth mystery.
Lauren’s
sixth book, Dead on Ice, will be released
in Fall 2012. Dead on Ice will
introduce a new series entitled Lovers in Crime, in which Joshua Thornton will
join forces with homicide detective Cameron Gates.
The
owner of Acorn Book Services, Lauren is also a publishing manager, consultant,
editor, cover and layout designer, and marketing agent for independent authors.
This spring, two books written by independent authors will be released through
the management of Acorn Book Services.
Lauren
is a popular speaker who has made appearances at schools, youth groups, and on
author panels at conventions. She also passes on what she has learned in her
years of writing and publishing by conducting workshops and teaching in
community education classes.
She
lives with her husband, son, and two dogs on a mountain in Harpers Ferry, WV.
Old Loves Die
Hard…and in the worst places.
In Old Loves
Die Hard, Lauren Carr continues the rags-to-riches story of Mac Faraday, an
underpaid homicide detective who inherits two-hundred-and-seventy million
dollars and an estate on Deep Creek Lake, Maryland, from his birth mother on
the day his divorce becomes final.
Mac is
settling nicely into his new life at Spencer Manor when his ex-wife Christine
shows up—and she wants him back! Before Mac can send her packing, Christine and
her estranged lover are murdered in Mac’s private penthouse suite at the
Spencer Inn, the five-star resort built by his ancestors.
The
investigation leads to the discovery of cases files for some of Mac’s murder cases
in the room of the man responsible for destroying his marriage. Why would his
ex-wife’s lover come to Spencer to dig into Mac’s old cases?
With the help
of his new friends on Deep Creek Lake, Mac must use all of his detective skills
to clear his name and the Spencer Inn’s reputation, before its five-stars—and
more bodies—start dropping!
"With
it's tight plot, well-crafted and believable characters, and complex mystery,
It's Murder, My Son is a thoroughly enjoyable read. I look forward to many more
Mac Faraday mysteries." John J.
Lamb, author of the Bear Collector Mysteries
"A most
unusual and surprising plot, intriguing characters, snappy dialogue, great
settings and a dog named Gnarly are the prime ingredients in Lauren Carr's
terrific new mystery, It's Murder, My Son." F.M. Meredith, author of An
Axe to Grind
What started
out as the worst day of Mac Faraday's life would end up being a new beginning.
After a messy divorce hearing, the last person that Mac wanted to see was
another lawyer. Yet, this lawyer wore the expression of a child bursting to
tell his secret. This secret would reveal Mac as heir to undreamed of fortunes,
and lead him to the birthplace of America's Queen of Mystery and an
investigation that will unfold like one of her famous mystery novels.
Soon after
she moves to her new lakefront home in Spencer, Maryland, multi-millionaire
Katrina Singleton learns that life in an exclusive community is not all good.
For some unknown reason, a strange man calling himself "Pay Back"
begins stalking her. When Katrina is found strangled all evidence points to her
terrorist, who is nowhere to be found.
Question:
What do you get the man with everything?
Answer: When
that man is the heir of the late mystery writer Robin Spencer, retired homicide
detective Mac Faraday, you get him cold case to solve.
In Shades of
Murder, Mac Faraday is once again the heir to an unbelievable fortune. This
time the benefactor is a stolen art collector. But this isn’t just any stolen
work-of-art—it’s a masterpiece with a murder attached to it.
Ilysa Ramsay
was in the midst of taking the art world by storm with her artistic genius.
Hours after unveiling her latest masterpiece—she is found dead in her Deep
Creek Lake studio—and her painting is nowhere to be found.
Almost a
decade later, the long lost Ilysa Ramsay masterpiece has found its way into Mac
Faraday’s hands and he can’t resist the urge to delve into the case.
A world away,
in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania; former JAG lawyer Joshua Thornton agrees to do a
favor for the last person he would ever expect to do a favor—a convicted serial
killer.
The Favor:
Solve the one murder wrongly attributed to him.
Joshua finds an unexpected ally in Cameron
Gates, a spunky detective who has reason to believe the young woman known to
the media only as Jane Doe, Victim Number Four, was the victim of a copycat.
Together, Joshua and Cameron set out to light a flame under the cold case only
to find that someone behind the scenes wants the case to remain cold, and is
willing to kill to keep it that way.
Little do
these detectives know that the paths of their respective cases are on a
collision course when they follow the clues to bring them together in a
showdown with a killer who’s got a talent for murder!
Dead on Ice
is the first installment of Lauren Carr’s new series (Lovers in Crime)
featuring Hancock County Prosecuting Attorney Joshua Thornton and Pennsylvania
State Police homicide detective Cameron Gates.
Spunky
Cameron Gates is tasked with solving the murder of Cherry Pickens, a legendary
star of pornographic films, whose body turns up in an abandoned freezer. The
case has a personal connection to her lover, Joshua Thornton, because the
freezer was located in his cousin’s basement. It doesn’t take long for their
investigation to reveal that the risqué star’s roots were buried in their rural
Ohio Valley community, something that Cherry had kept off her show business
bio. She should have kept her hometown off her road map, too—because when this
starlet came running home from the mob, it proved to be a fatal homecoming.
Thank you again for supporting Indie Authors! I will announce winners Monday!
