"If Mark Twain and Mary Higgins Clark got married, their author-child would be Aaron Paul Lazar.” - Joan Hall Hovey, best-selling author .  Happy Holidays from Aaron Paul Lazar |
Hi, folks! How are you doing? Are you ready for Christmas? So far we haven't had any snow to speak of here in the Finger Lakes region of New York, but it looks like we're getting a few inches tomorrow morning, so maybe a white Christmas will be in the offing. It's been forever since I connected with you, primarily because we've spent the year dealing with a ton of health issues for my wife, daughter, and me. It hasn't been fun, but things are finally starting to look up a little. As they say, "Getting old isn't for sissies!" Boy, is that true! As Christmas is almost upon us, I wanted to reach out and wish you all the very best holiday. Here are my warmest wishes for health, happiness, and a house full of family and good food. We decided to go down to the smaller tree this year, and found a little live guy that is just perfect. What do you think? Light weight, less needles to shed, and very inexpensive. I'm sold! ____________________________________________________________ Many of you have asked me to write a new LeGarde mystery. I'm sorry to say that hasn't happened this year. But I continue to tell myself that a stable of 30 books isn't too shabby, so I try not to feel too pressured or that I'm letting you down. If you haven't listened to the audiobooks yet, you might want to give them a try. The narrators who take on the voices of Gus, Siegfried, Camille, Sam, Rachel, Marcella, Quinn, and all the other characters are truly gifted. You can try them all out on Amazon or at Audible.com. Just search on "Aaron Paul Lazar". A tip: Don't try to access lazarbooks.com. The company that hosted it went out of business. I didn't pick up on this until recently, because of the overwhelming state of getting us all to 3-5 appointments each week. It made me crazy and I lost focus. If anyone has good suggestions on an intuitive and not-too-pricey web hosting site, please let me know. I need to start from scratch! ___________________________________________________________ We still have a few things growing in the garden! Kale is extra hardy and gets so sweet after the first few frosts. I love the raindrops that gather in the leaf. Here's a picture of a variety you may know, it's called "Tuscan" kale. We're trying more types each year as it lasts so long and is so good for you. ;o) We also have some pretty healthy mounds of flat leafed parsley out there. Can't complain about that! ____________________________________________________________ I'm happily working with authors to edit and polish their manuscripts. Another great space opera adventure from Heidi Skarie was released in June! Check out this fun novel - it's worth the download!
When darkness descends can a few courageous heroes save their planet?Princess Morisa’s world is turned upside down. She planned to be a priestess living at a monastery for the rest of her life. But now she’s being sent to a foreign country and is expected to use her special powers to entice the prince to marry her. How can she seduce him when it goes against everything she’s been taught? Prince Everette is embroiled in the world of politics and rebellion. With his father leaving for war and his mother ill, he’s the regent ruler and head of the military. As if that isn’t enough, he’s expected to be polite to the feisty Princess Morisa, who is staying at the palace for the summer. Everette and Morisa’s stormy relationship intensifies as the warring world around them erupts. Can they put aside their differences long enough to keep the most dangerous sorcerer in the galaxy from destroying their planet? Or will the galaxy plunge into darkness? ____________________________________________________________ We have two more books on the brink of release. Nattalia Nealls' second book in her fascinating Rocky Mountain Trilogy is coming soon. Noble Souls will stay with you for a long time after you read the last page. And Robert Sells, author of many previous titles across all genres, is about to release An Affair with Murder. I loved working on this murder mystery/romance. It was right up my alley! I'll let you know when these two are available, stay tuned. ____________________________________________________________ Finally, Biscuit is still keeping our family together and giving all his love to each of us daily. He's the sweetest, funniest, more loving dog we've every had. And you know we've had some great dogs over the years! Here's a picture I just snapped a few minutes ago. His tail is soooo long now, like a big feather duster. When we got him, it was just a little twig! Thank God for the blessing of animals, right? In closing, I wish each and every one of you a joyous, safe, and happy holiday. If you can, write back to let me know how you're doing. ;o) Always, Aaron Lazar |
