A Great New Review!

I just found out about a new review of Glitter of Diamonds on The Suspense Zone. I love the last paragraph, because it sums up what my goal in writing the Manziuk and Ryan books is - to mimic, in a good way, and in today's world, the style of my favorite author, Georgette Heyer.



"Glitter of Diamonds, second in the Manziuk and Ryan mystery series by award-winning Canadian journalist, author and speaker, N. J. Lindquist, continues with a finely drawn police procedural… Continue

Last night, I joined roughly 65 other people in the library of Toronto's castle, Casa Loma, for an evening of readings and questions with two very successful Canadian mystery authors, Giles Blunt and Louise Penny. It was a very interesting and informative evening.

But what really struck me was how settings…

A Late Christmas Gift From My Husband

This particular Boxing Day, I was sitting in the family room of our Mississauga home, reading a mystery novel I’d picked up at the library. My husband was also in the room, reading the

newspaper. Our three sons, ages three to seven, were in…

N.J., it was a sincere treat to share last night's meal with you! I've just been to your website, and I 'dig' your thoughts on the power of words. You know, somewhere deep down all writers must agree with you on that one.

All the best with your next project -- I know it will be a blast!
Your new friend,
Donna www.donnacarrick.com

Thanks! I just mailed them the arc for Glitter - it will be out in May, They should have Shaded Light.

Isn't the internet great?

Hi NJ. I live in Oakville and love finding books set in Ontario (or Canada in general) so will definitely be seeking your out. In fact I think I will call Sleuth now.
