SYNOPSIS:

When retired family doctor Sam Moore’s old girlfriend is murdered in a local hotel, the police suspect his involvement. The coroner, a former med school colleague whose husband is about to desert her, reveals that she had a crush on Sam in med school. When she is strangled the next day in her own morgue, Sam is once again in the hot seat.

Sam’s world falls apart when he returns home to find a family member killed in the laundry room, stabbed with his own garden shears. Rocketed into a world of denial and temporary insanity, Sam faces his worst fear, and is locked up in the very same psych ward he was in when his brother Bill died fifty years ago. Sam is determined to ask his long dead brother to help him. Billy, who communicates through a little green marble, has the ability to propel Sam through time and has helped Sam unwrap baffling mysteries in the past.

Sam’s plan: to change time, and bring his loved one back to life.

What they're saying:

“An emotional roller-coaster ride: well-plotted, well-planned, and one of the best mysteries I have read to date. An accomplished author with a grand novel under his belt about loss, renewal, death, love, and what really matters to us all.” 

- M. Kim Smith

“Aaron Paul Lazar's deft paranormal mystery starts off quietly and builds to a powerful finish. More than a thriller, For Keeps is a heartfelt story of love and devotion, family ties and emotional crisis, loss and redemption. A winner!”

- Best selling author, Michael Prescott

“Lazar does it again with Sam Moore's explosive return in FOR KEEPS, a story of sordid pasts, buried secrets, and ultimately, true love. This tale will break your heart--and then tenderly stitch it back together--all while you're biting your nails to the quick. Every book in the Moore Mysteries series just keeps getting better!

- Sonya Bateman, author of Master of None & Master and Apprentice

Pre-holiday stuff

I am flying by on my Christmas sleigh, drawn by eight tiny reindeers, to tell you of some pre-holiday news...

First, An Unexpected Performance will be on FREE DOWNLOAD for Kindle starting tomorrow and going for a twenty-four hour special. Remember you do not need a Kindle device to read Kindle books. All you need is the Kindle app.

And second, there is a FREEEEEEE short story available for you on my website called Christmas is a Crime. It is dark, and edgy, and not very appealing for most people, but you dear Murderer, you will eat it up. So go to Kim Smith, Author and get your belly full.

Also, all of my Christmas short stories are available now for .99 at Amazon. You can get Christmas Layover , The Christmas Kiss , and The Christmas Heist all for a mere buck. If you go to Red Rose Publishing you can get them for .50 - so don't delay!

On another note, it is only a bit over a week until our big celebration (yes, it is almost like a speeding train, bearing down on us!), and I am almost finished making presents. Yes, Murderers, I am MAKING my presents this year. I have found that my kids have such wide and varied tastes that there is no way to purchase gifts that will make the grade. They do not like certain clothes, they watch Netflix movies, they have video games, and music and other things that would be gifts, so that leaves gift cards and homemade things. Which they love much more. I also stuff stockings for them with things they can use into the New Year, like shampoo and toothpaste. (okay, I am a mother Santa.)

So, for the next few days left to me to get 'er done, I will be finishing up my Santa chores. Then it will be off to the kitchens to bake the goodies. Does anyone have a good recipe for Gingerbread or Snickerdoodles?
