I kill people for fun. In books.
Mystery author Meredith Potts is giving away nine cozy mysteries to kick off the new year. They’re free for a limited time, so head over to Amazon to get them today! Click on the book below to go to the order page.
In The Invasive Species, readers learned about Mary Pfaff [1] and her Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat series.
When Alice Mongoose sails from India to a sugar plantation on the Big Island of Hawaii, she is shocked to learn what her new job entails. She decides instead to strike out on her own. When she meets the gentle and dapper Alistair Rat, she knows that she has found a friend in her new Hawaiian home.
Download Alice Mongoose and Alistair Rat in Hawaii and 20 more free books and book samples through July 18!
[1] Parts of Mary Pfaff’s biography are verifiable. The Hawaiian Gazette was a semi-weekly publication of the Honolulu Advertiser. The Pacific Cable was completed in 1903, enabling news to travel across the ocean almost instantaneously. Editor Roderick O. Matheson did move to Japan around 1918, where he took the position of news editor of the Japan Times & Mail and served as the Chicago Tribune‘s foreign correspondent in Tokyo. However, Mary Pfaff, her family, and her books were crafted as part of the Professor Molly literary universe.
Why am I (along with over fifty fellow mystery and thriller authors) giving away our work for free? The main reason we write is to share our stories and entertain readers. If you enjoy the free stories, that’s great! But if you do like what you read, there’s more where that came from. We hope you might look into more books in the same series!
Dr. Rowena Halley is a Professor of Russian Language and an accidental sleuth. She is also a realistic modern academic. No spacious wood-paneled offices for her…try underpaid term contracts with no health insurance, depressing low-budget apartments, and copier codes (good for 100 copies per month) that don’t start working until the semester is well underway. Author Sid Stark skewers academia as only an insider can.
In post-Soviet Russia, crime fights you.
Dr. Rowena Halley has, against all odds, gotten a job. For one semester. At poverty wages. In New Jersey.
Loves hurts. Sometimes it kills.
Sometimes summer flings turn deadly serious.
When does freedom go too far?
Audio enthusiasts: You can listen to select Rowena Halley stories for free right now. Stark has a YouTube playlist, which you can find here. You can catch the podcast on SoundCloud, Apple, Google Podcasts, Spotify, Stitcher, and TuneIn. I’m currently listening to Foreign Exchange, the series prequel, and loving it.
Is this a cozy series? Decide for yourself: There is a female amateur sleuth, a close campus community, a feline companion, and wry humor. But the series does contain some swearing, much of it from Rowena’s older brother John, a Marine whose world view is often at odds with his little sister’s.
Happy Aloha Friday…download and enjoy!

Kelly Brakenhoff is an American Sign Language Interpreter whose motivation for learning ASL began in high school when she wanted to converse with her deaf friends. As an American Sign Language Interpreter with more than twenty years of experience, Kelly’s worked in college classrooms for fifteen different majors. From traipsing across muddy farm fields to stomach-churning medical procedures, and stage interpreting for famous figures, Kelly’s community interpreting interactions number in the thousands.
Unfortunately, once she’s stepped away from the job, she usually forgets 90% of what happened. Which helps her keep confidential information safe, but also makes it really hard to grocery shop for more than 5 items without a written list.
Kelly wants to live in a world filled with peace, love, and joy, where people who can hear learn enough sign language to include deaf people in everyday conversations and work. Where every deaf child has early access to language and books with characters like them, and dark chocolate is cheap and plentiful.
When she’s not interpreting or writing, you can find Kelly cheering for her favorite Husker teams or training for half-marathons because she really likes dessert.
