As a Dark Alley Detective, you commit to leaving a review in three or more different venues as soon as you finish the book. It can be the same review, as long as it’s copied to all the places, including dark alleys!
You post first and you post early.
These become clues for other readers when they come to investigate the new book. Your review helps them decide whether this book is their cup of tea… and whether they should read it or not.

I am delighted to share my upcoming June 9th new release, Shadows in Chinatown with you!
Please zoom with me on Friday the 13th of June at 2pm PST and help me celebrate the launch of my new series with book one by Tule Publishing. They could not guarantee paperbacks in time to have an in-person affair, so Iβm taking to the big screen instead, lol. This way, you can attend from anywhere, avoid parking issues, and enjoy your favorite cuppa in a front row seat.
Yes, I will ask everyone to raise their cuppa for a group photo!
It will be short and sweet, with a reading, Q&A, and raffle prizes, including free digital copies of the new book.
Kindly RSVP in the Facebook Event page here. This is your direct zoom link:
