Happy New Year! Pre-order and get your FREE EBOOK!

Hi, folks!

How were your holidays? I hope they were filled with family and friends and love. But I know they can also be a time for nostalgia and sadness, missing those who have passed. 

It was a mixed blessing in our home, as both Dale and I lost our mothers over the past couple of years. But we managed to have plenty of joy with the little ones. We had all six grandchildren here at once and it was just crazy/marvelous! 

We got a big snowstorm Christmas Eve, which followed a recent ice storm. So the whole week was truly a crystalline Winter Wonderful around here. 

But now the holidays are over and the tree is down. Those vintage ornaments are all carefully repacked in the closet and I'm happy to say we didn't break any at all this year, which was kind of a miracle! 

I'm ready to look forward to a new year, including ditching the Christmas cookies and going back to healthier eating. How about you? So far I've made it on the treadmill two of my three mornings, so I guess that's a start!

ImageTo celebrate the new year, I thought I'd bring you some super deals. If you pre-order the new Gus LeGarde Mystery (available Feb 1), Murder on the Brewster Flats, I will give you a free eBook of your choice. (some of you already pre-ordered and I will honor this new deal for you, too.) Since I have 27 books, that gives you 26 titles to choose from. Whether it's romance, mystery, adventure, or getting inside a writer's head, you can see them all  at www.lazarbooks.com.

Just send me an email (at this address) with your proof of purchase and tell me which book you want and what format you need it in. I can provide mobi (Kindle), epub (Nook), or pdf (all others). 

On top of that offer, I'm going to reduce the price the chronological prequel to Murder on the Brewster Flats, Lady Blues: forget-me-not, one of my favorite Gus LeGarde books. (Remember, these all can be read in any order just like standalones if you wish. ;o))

I still miss some of the characters I created in that one, like Kip Sterling, the octogenarian musician who lost his memory and is desperately searching for the love of his life, Arabella DuBois. 

You'll also see some more special deals from fellow authors, below. 

It's not going above zero degrees today, and I hope if you're on the east coast dealing with the storms or in a cold part of the country that you can stay warm. 

Happy reading, and don't forget to take pleasure in the little things.

Aaron Paul Lazar

Some family secrets shouldn’t stay buried…  

Music professor Gus LeGarde and his wife Camille are looking forward to a relaxing vacation at Paines Creek Beach on beautiful Cape Cod. But Gus barely has a chance to feel the sand between his toes before a near-miss car accident drags him right into the middle of a local family feud — and a centuries-old mystery that’s begging to be solved.

As Gus is drawn further into the conflict between the Cooks and the McNabbs — two families with a grudge going all the way back to Colonial times — he and Camille keep uncovering more questions than answers. Where is the long-lost Cook family treasure? What’s really wrong with Beckett, the McNabb-side member who’s the father of young Jane Cook’s son? And who’s telling the truth about Beckett and Jane’s clandestine relationship: Jane’s grandfather, surly patriarch Albert Cook; or Beckett’s slightly odd parents?

Before long, mounting tension gives way to true danger as people start vanishing. And in the middle of a fast-brewing hurricane, Gus discovers the real secret at the heart of the feud: someone who will stop at nothing to make sure their side wins. Including murder.

Packed with shocking twists, exciting action, and fascinating tales of family lore and pirate treasure, Murder on the Brewster Flats is the first LeGarde Mysteries crossover novel with award-winning author Aaron Paul Lazar’s popular Paines Creek Beach series. Don’t miss this installment!

(save $3.00 off regular price)
Past and present collide when an Alzheimer’s patient’s fragile memory holds the key to solving mysteries dating back to World War II—including a long lost secret love affair.
Music professor Gus LeGarde is just doing a favor for a friend when he agrees to play piano for church services at a local nursing home. He doesn’t expect to be drawn into a new friendship with an elderly Alzheimer’s patient dubbed “the music man” or to stumble across a decades-old mystery locked inside the man’s mind.
Octogenarian Kip Sterling doesn’t know his own name—but he speaks Gus’s language, spouting jazz terms like “cadence” and “interlude” and “riff.” He’s also obsessed with “his Bella,” but nobody knows who she is.
When Kip is given a new drug called Memorphyl, he starts to remember bits and pieces of his life. Gus learns Bella was Kip’s first and only love, but their relationship was shrouded in scandal. Intrigued, Gus agrees to help search for her. Could she still be alive?
Horrified when the miracle drug suddenly stops working and patients begin to backslide, Gus panics. Can he help Kip find his beloved Bella before his newfound memories disappear?
