What will you do when the world falls apart? ANGELS MARK is the debut of Natalie Buske Thomas' return to writing novels of mystery and suspense, and is a departure from all earlier works. ANGELS MARK is based on the author's own family life, and an actual account of a vivid, horrifying, nightmare that she had. The rest of the story is a work of fiction, and an embellishment of her orginal dream -- a story that will keep readers turning pages and will keep them lying awake at night thinking about the book. ANGELS MARK is a fast suspenseful read, with likeable characters, like Natalie Buske Thomas' earlier books, but the author's maturity as a writer is a welcome addition. Book reviews from early in Natalie's career pointed out a lack of physical setting, and simplistic overblown plots. Those critiques motivated Natalie to grow as a writer and ANGELS MARK is a fine example of how a young, inexperienced author can evolve into a writer worthy of a loyal following. If you have been waiting for a new book by Natalie Buske Thomas, you will not be disappointed by ANGELS MARK. It is by far and away her best work to date. Natalie Buske Thomas' road to publication was featured in an interview by Rosedog.com: Featured Author and Interview: Rosedog.com "From Rejection to Oprah" Interview: The Charlotte Austin Review Hosted by the Library and Archives of Canada Book Review: Harriet Klausner "Because of the amusement in the air and the talent of Natalie Buske Thomas, the characters seem more real than those found in a drop-dead grave who-done-it. This is a one sitting novel that must be read with pizza to fully absorb the works." Book Review: Susan Ives Book Reviews of Mysteries & Thrillers with a Computer Theme "a Nancy Drew turns thirty caper, with surprisingly good computer details. Jill's experience on the 'women over 30' chat room, where a con man studies her postings to create a sympathetic female buddy, is a harrowing warning about the often false intimacy of the Internet. The author is a gutsy young mother who started her own publishing company when the established presses brushed her off and developed a loyal following. A quick, fun read." Featured Article: Deadly Serious Press Guest Speaker:
Bouchercon Mystery Conference
Author Panel "Female Sleuths - Equal or Superior?" "Finally, female sleuths are becoming more common in both police procedurals and P.I. novels. Does a female sleuth have more problems investigating a case? What special appeal does a female sleuth have for readers? Is the plot handled differently if the protagonist is female? Find out what these writers think."
