Reading matter is always a good gift, and today you can give audio books for those in your life who don\u2019t have time to sit down and turn pages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In Atlanta recently I got to meet novelist Liz Lazarus. I had read one of her mysteries and now have all three under my belt, the latest on audio. The Evil Princess and I spend so much time on the road that audio books have been a blessing for us.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Each of Ms. Lazarus\u2019 novels focus on a strong woman who takes control of the serious problems that life brings her. Sometimes with feminine wiles, sometimes with a judiciously applied Ruger in her hand, but always with common sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Liz manages willing suspension of disbelief by picking the brains of SMEs from veteran detectives to gun experts to make sure she gets the details right.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If my lovely bride and I are any indication, the Lazarus novels appeal to both genders, and to anyone with a sense of self-sufficiency. (If the person you buy gift books for lacks that latter quality, perhaps Liz\u2019 writing will inspire some.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They come from Mitchell Cove Publishing, and you can order in time for Christmas from Amazon.com.\u00a0\u00a0The titles are \u201cFree of Malice<\/a>,\u201d \u201cPlea for Justice<\/a>,\u201d and \u201cShades of Silence<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n (Some of you will appreciate the name she gives to her characters.
