​I would like to extend a huge THANK YOU to the staff at the Barbee Library, Oak Island and Friends of the Library for their warm welcome. I enjoyed discussing my writing and primarily my first novel, The Lethal Fisherman. The Q & A was invigorating.

The season for gift giving is upon us. If you have a reader on your gift list a good book is an inexpensive way to show that you care. A suspense/thriller will keep the reader awake and riveted. Triple that special person's enjoyment by giving the entire trilogy--The Lethal Fisherman, Scattered Pieces, & Blood Money.

A new suspense/thriller is in the works. I will update with further information as soon as a few more details are worked out.  I will email all readers on my list with full details as soon as they are available. Watch for it.

​I would like to thank my readers for the strong, positive response to all three books. I am pleased with the number of readers adding their email address to the response list. As stated, this list is only to notify readers of information on my books, book signings or new releases.

It’s June! Book #3 of the Lethal Fisherman trilogy was released by the publisher on May 26th. I’ll be talking about book three, Blood Money, with Randy Alderidge on WWAY3, June 12 at 5:30 p.m. The following Saturday, June 16, I will be holding a book signing at Barnes & Noble, in the Mayfair Shopping Center, Wilmington. This will take place from 2:00 p.m. until 5:00 p.m.
​
All three books of the trilogy will be available, so don’t forget DAD. Sunday the 17th is Father’s Day and if your father, husband or a dad you know—likes to read—this would be the ideal gift.

​Also available on line as an e-book or through your favorite on-line book seller

​Next Thursday, 05/31/2018, I will be having a book signing of the third novel of my suspense/thriller trilogy. Title: BLOOD MONEY. It will be held in Carolina Beach at TIP TOP FRAME and hosted by SKIP SPRAGUE. 4:00 p.m. until 6:00 p.m. As at my prior signings in this location we will have some light refreshments available. I hope to meet many of you at this event. J.J. BURKE
