Debra Shiveley Welch | | I wasn't going to announce this here but Linda said "Go ahead!" so I am.
My cousin and I have just had our murder mystery novel "Jesus Gandhi Oma Mae Adams" released and it has already moved about 85,000 points on Amazon's Sales Range point system. We're very excited!
What is it about? Well....
Unity minister and televangelist, Dr. Oma Mae Adams, whose philanthropic work endears her to the world, is gunned down in front of the television station in Columbus, Ohio where her religious program is taped. Her shocking death leaves a bereft world with two questions: who killed Dr. Oma Mae Adams --- and why?
In its centerpiece, the murder mystery flashes back to a map of the victim’s early life where Greene and Welch lead you on whirlwind adventures. Experience the spirit with Oma Mae Adams in her profound relationships with Jesus and Gandhi; relive the 40’s when jazz was king, and traverse the sidewalks of “Millionaire Block” and “The Avenue” while frequenting the nightclubs there where Columbus, in its formerly famous east side neighborhood regularly hosted such notables as Nat King Cole, Dizzy Gillespie and many others. Enter the Peace Corps and befriend the colorful people, climb the musical mountains, shop in the teeming outdoor markets, and explore the incomparable Galapagos Islands of Ecuador.
Part three of the book returns you to the unexpected resolution of the murder, an outcome guaranteed to leave you shaking your head in total disbelief.
Please wish us luck on it's continued success. And, hey, to get it totally on topic, we've already had one nibble for a movie.
