Why I Continue to Write Sgt. Windflower Mysteries
Why I Continue to Write Sgt. Windflower Mysteries
Friends are Forever is the 16th book in the Sgt. Windflower Mystery series. Fans of the series always ask me when will the next book be out? Others ask when are you going to stop writing the series? Both are very interesting questions that I have thought a lot about.
I want to share a secret for those of you who will read this blog post past

"I had the great privilege of receiving an early copy of the newest Sgt. Winston Windflower mystery - Number 16! - to read and review, and I was certainly not disappointed, as this book perfectly continues the tradition set in all of the previous book"

"I can't believe this is book 16 in the Sgt. Windflower series. I think I've read almost all of them and I love each one a little more. I love revisiting Grand Bank and all the residents. You can read this as a stand alone but you'll be hooked and wan"

“You speak rabbit?â€� asked Princess Sophie.
“Of course,â€� said Lady Ariana. “And cat, dog, mouse, pig, and chicken. Fish, too. I am a magician, after all.”

“He mixed his sacred medicines and smudged. Afterward, he sat there for a moment to allow the smoke to come into his body and spirit. This one act connected him, even if briefly, to himself and to what he believed was the spirit world. In that space he offered thanks to those who had come before him and asked for help in this world, not just for himself but for anyone who might be struggling this morning.”

“How do we keep it?â€� asked Princess Sophie. “How do we keep the spirit of Christmas?â€�
“That’s the real magic,â€� said Lady Ariana. “If we love something so much, we have to give it away. When we do that, we get to keep it ourselves, too.”

Mike: I miss our chats at the coffee shop on Bank st. Shall we resume? I would value your endorsement too.My two new books for 2019 are:
1. Democracy, Deity & Death - A Discussion by Four Arabs (Austin Macauley - London): publication 25 June.
a story whose basic settings are real and could feasibly happen in the real-world.
2. Taaali ma3ee nulahiquhu ila Tunis - تعالي معي نلاØقه إلى تونس - 45 Dirhams
Qais Ghanem Ottawa, Canada, if need [email protected]
===================================
These are the ‘Four Arabs� who fill Qais Ghanem’s 130-page book with their opinions and discussions on ‘Democracy, Deity and Death,� which is the sub-title of his book, but in essence, page after page, these four Arabs primarily discuss Islam as well as Sharia the 8th century laws whose weight has become the burden a billion Muslims today.
Every Muslim home should have a copy of ‘Four Arabs� and they will find in it a reflection of the discussions all of us have, in varying degrees. Dr. Ghanem has done us all a tremendous favour and a service in using fiction to lay bare the truth we are told never to utter in public lest the ‘kufaar� find a chink in non-existent armour.
Part of Review by TAREK FATAH , famous Toronto Author of Chasing a Mirage
=================================================
I highly recommend it to all who want to understand the Middle East and its three monotheistic traditions. It is both hopeful, in that the characters express hope for change, for the way in which the religions, and especially Islam, will find peace with modernity; and gloomy, in that the people being discussed still cannot let go of their great historical achievements, haven’t learned and are unlikely ever to learn how to use logic, and always fail to listen to each other, and so consensus among them is impossible! There are undoubtedly some minor exaggerations, but the writing is fluid, the momentum never wanes, and everything is all done so beautifully, with great dollops of heart-warming humour!
Prof. Abdulla Daar, author of Garment of Destiny, Toronto, Canada
Mike, thanks for asking me to be your GR friend. I'm shocked that I hadn't already asked you! Nanci Rathbun
