For creative suspense with a sense of humor, meet Serena Wilcox. VIRTUAL MEMORIES (ISBN 0-9666919-1-1) is the second book in the Serena Wilcox Mysteries, a series of three books written by Natalie Buske Thomas. Virtual Memories is a business that offers its clients the incredible opportunity to "virtually" experience memories. The sessions feel so real that many clients say that it's like "going back in time". Clients can also create fantasy memories, casting themselves in any role they wish. But for Jack the fantasy session was TOO real. He forgot about his wife and kids, and believed himself to be a CIA agent on a mission to hunt down the man in the Mustang. VIRTUAL MEMORIES will keep you guessing until the very end. The Serena Wilcox mysteries are a delightful combination of suspense plus humor, the perfect recipe for a fun read. VIRTUAL MEMORIES is the second effort by author Natalie Buske Thomas, and is in trade paperback size. VIRTUAL MEMORIES brings more attention to Serena Wilcox, the pizza-loving detective: the female PI character that developed in the three-book Serena Wilcox mystery series. VIRTUAL MEMORIES shows growth and improvement from Natalie Buske Thomas' first book, GENE PLAY. VIRTUAL MEMORIES was selected by Oprah's online mystery book club. Natalie was the featured guest author at an Oprah.com live chat discussion and her book was the subject for discussion in the Oprah.com forum (reader message boards) that were active in 1999. VIRTUAL MEMORIES was read by a wider audience and was sold to libraries, online booksellers, and a few physical bookstores. Many Serena Wilcox Mysteries fans say that VIRTUAL MEMORIES is their favorite book of the series. 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."
