My upcoming book, Deadly Diamonds, the fifth of the Amy Lynch Investigations, will be available on October 15. Jordan Rich of WBZ iHeart Radio recently reviewed Deadly Diamonds on his regular feature The Book Club. Here is what he had to say:

PK Norton is back with another finely cut mystery! It’s Amy Lynch at her best, investigating a rash of diamond robberies and related murders. Murder is in the air and Amy is in a race to solve the crime before she too becomes a victim. One cannot help but admire Amy as we stay up late reading to find out how she will go about cracking another beguiling case. She is resourceful, smart and just the kind of woman all of us want to root for.

Home from the hospital! Fractured skull is healing. Brain bleeds have stopped. Brain swelling going down. Residual effects of concussion – nausea, headaches, balance issues – are likely to hang around for a while. The crazy thing about my accident is that in the book I am currently working on to come out next spring, Amy Lynch has an accident that results in a concussion. I now know that I got it all wrong! Hell of a way to do research. Oh well, back to the drawing board.

In these troubled times, stay well, wash your hands, ask for help if you need it and remember to check on your neighbors.

I just came across this while cleaning out a drawer. Haven’t worn it in a long time.

I spent last Saturday at the Rhode Island Authors’ Book Expo. Met a lot of nice people, sold some books. All in all, a very pleasant day.

I, along with about 100 other authors, will be taking part in the 7th Annual Rhode Island Author Expo this coming Saturday, December 7. The event is held at Rhodes on The Pawtuxet in Cranston, RI from 10:00 to 4:30. All types of books will be represented, from mystery to non-fiction to children’s books. If you’re in the area, please stop by. Admission and parking are both free. Remember, a signed book makes a wonderful gift.

I just got back from a road trip in California doing research for an upcoming book. Stopped in Salinas to visit my friend John Steinbeck. It’s always good to see him.
