Win a signed review copy of The Musubi Murder. #Rafflecopter #giveaway starts today!

Sign up for notifications of giveaways, new releases and events, and you’ll automatically be entered to win a signed review copy of The Musubi Murder, Hawaii’s first campus murder mystery.

In The Musubi Murder, new assistant professor Molly Barda is using her top-ten literature Ph.D. to teach resume-writing to business majors at remote Mahina State University, “Where Your Future Begins Tomorrow!”

Keenly aware of the brutal realities of the academic job market, Molly just wants to keep her head down and stay out of trouble until she gets tenure. Naturally she ends up getting dragged into the middle of a grisly murder case.

The Musubi Murder is a lighthearted murder mystery that affectionately portrays small-town life and big academic egos in rural Hawaii.

Frankie Bow knows academia. As they say, “You couldn’t make this stuff up!” You’ll laugh at Bow’s satirical sense of humor and the (almost) unbelievable lengths her university goes to in order to retain any breathing student.

Kathleen Kelley Reardon, author of Shadow Campus and several bestselling business books.

COLLEGE MISERY: Today’s Administrative Vocabulary Word: Ethical Fading

“A senior administrator,” Mr. Harris says, “does not wake up in the morning and say, Today I am going to do something that lands me on the front page of the Chicago Tribune for the wrong reasons.” Instead, he says, what comes into play is a phenomenon known as “ethical fading,” in which the culture or structure of an organization causes those within it to lose sight of ethical considerations.

Oops, looks like I accidentally sent my moral sensibility through the dryer.

Congratulations to M. from B.C., winner of the signed ARC of The Musubi Murder!

I just mailed a signed review copy of The Musubi Murder off to the winner of the Goodreads Giveaway, M. in British Columbia!

 

Congratulations to M, who was the lucky winner chosen from 826 entries. I hear that spring has not yet fully sprung up there in the GWN, so here’s hoping that The Musubi Murder provides a bit of welcome tropical warmth.
