Clearwater Blackmail will be available at Smashwords today and the other digital retailers (Kindle, Kobo, Barnes and Noble and I-Books) sometime during the next 72 hours. The on sale price on the last fives Clearwater episodes will only remain in effect until the end of September. After that, the price on those titles will bounce up to previous ‘just released’ prices. This is part of the marketing plan that I have just completed with GoTO Publishing. Hope you enjoy this adventure in paradise.
Against all odds … and after vowing to never run another reader contest … remember the last one where you selected the major players for the new fantasy television series of Clearwater episodes – well hold onto your knickers … another Al Rennie marketing scheme is about to unfold before your very eyes. Yup that’s right … so pay attention.
Simply send your favorite excerpt from any book in the Clearwater Series and you might be eligible to win a signed copy of one of my books or, better yet, a $15.00 Amazon gift certificate. Exciting eh?
But wait …! There’s more! You could see your name attached to one of the characters in a future episode with Doc and Mia. That’s right … you could be the next person working for CHIPs or maybe, if you prefer, a bad guy … or maybe even Billy Ray’s caddie.
So, you ask … Al, how can I get in on all of this incredible excitement? Here’s your answer.
Either cut and paste your favorite passage – no more than five or six hundred words – or send the reference to the passage using name of selected book’s retailer i.e. I-Books, B&N, Kobo or Kindle and the page number and a short title to alrennieauthor@gmail.com.
The winners will see his or her passage in a future posting on the Al Rennie Indie Author Facebook page.
NOTE: In the unlikely event that the same passage is submitted more than once, the first submission wins the prize.
So you might send in, “The scene with Linc at the end of Clearwater Homesick …. I-Books pages …” OR you could cut and paste the scene and submit it.
An esteemed panel of literary critics will review all submissions and announce the winners on September 7, 2019.
Get your submissions in early…
“Note from Al: Come on Doc and Mia fans – help me out. I’ll feel like such a peckerwood if there are no submissions.
Dear friends:
During the next month, I will be working with a marketing team attached to GoTo Publishing to increase the general awareness of my books.
The marketing team has set up another site for me called Al Rennie Indie author on Facebook www.facebook.com/alrennieauthor and http://www.twitter.com/alrennieauthor on Twitter
Please feel free to check that site out and join me as a friend if you believe you might be interested in this little experiment or if you might like to learn more about my books. They will be using the title Clearwater Kidnap to introduce new readers to the Clearwater series.
Another great cover from Rita Toews … Thank you. This book should be available by mid-July if I can get all my kittens in a row. Have a great weekend …
Clearwater Seduction will be available from the various ebook retail outlets sometime today or tomorrow.

Another romp in paradise!
Thank you Rita Toews for another great cover. This book started out as Clearwater Kin and finished off as Clearwater Seduction. Go figure … The books should be out in early May.

Notice:
Clearwater Flip Flop has been sent off to Kindle and Smashwords. It will be available from Smashwords almost immediately. It will be for sale from Kobo, B&N and I-Books sometime in the next two weeks and from Kindle in the next week. Sorry I cannot be more specific. Amazon had bought out CreateSpace, so I will not be going to the expense of creating a paperback for this title.
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to all you Joe and Mia readers.
Al
Mia is away at a conference; the kids are at summer camp in Canada; Joe is ‘batching’ it and looking forward to a quiet weekend; That free time is interrupted when a woman asks Joe to find her sister’s killer who has been released on probation but is this a trap set up to take Joe down? McAdoo complicates life further when he asks Joe to do due diligence on his niece’s fiancé. And Morse’s legal assistant is being stalked again. So much for a peaceful weekend in paradise …
