Editorial Reviews

Product Description

What is the "blue bone" and what does a seventeenth-century French ship have to do with East Texas?

When Bill Travis gets the word that his best friend has been murdered, he not only has to take a trip back to the town where he grew up, he has to go up against some old ghosts who were better left alone.

What modern secrets lie hidden in the dark beneath the countryside where Bill grew up? And what darker, more ancient secret lies hidden beneath them?

Longnecks & Twisted Hearts is the third installment of The Bill Travis Mysteries.

More About the Author

I was born in East Texas and spent most of my life there, principally around the Bryan and College Station area. I moved to Austin, Texas, in 2002 and shortly thereafter began writing The Bill Travis Mystery series. I currently live in Austin with my lovely wife, Sallie, and two cats and two dogs.

While my first love is reading and writing, I also play both classical violin and country fiddle. I also draw, paint and take some pretty decent pictures.

Although I began writing in earnest in 1986, I have actually been creatively writing far longer than that.

I have been heavily influenced by the many writers I have come into contact with throughout my life, many of whom are gone now, and by countless more that I have met only through the medium of their books. That's right, I am also a voracious reader, mostly of science fiction, not wanting to be unduly influenced by others in my chosen genre. However, I enjoy books of all kinds. The essential element, as always, is a good story.

I am always happy to talk to a reader and would dearly love to hear your comments. Please visit my website at www.georgewier.com or my series website at www.billtravismysteries.com. There you will find free short stories, anecdotes, and links to other books and writers.

Thanks for reading!

Best,

George Wier

This review is from: Longnecks & Twisted Hearts (The Bill Travis Mysteries) (Kindle Edition)

George Wier's "Longnecks & Twisted Hearts" is the third in the series of The Bill Travis Mysteries and the follow-up to "The Last Call" and "Capitol Offense". In "Longnecks & Twisted Hearts" Bill finds himself going back home, to his childhood hometown, to bury his once best friend. Upon reaching town limits he is met by a police officer wanting to escort him out of town before seeing the widow or attending the funeral. He was given a nice, friendly warning, but of course by now Bill's interests are really peaked. If he thought things were a bit strange with the widow's phone call, the police warning him off and escorting him out of town before he has a chance to see anyone, well now Bill has to stay and figure things out for himself. And boy does he ever get himself entangled in a lot of strange stuff along the way.

If you enjoyed "The Last Call" or "Capitol Offense" then you will really enjoy going on another thrill ride with Bill Travis. Bill Travis is just an ordinary guy who invests money for a living, yet he finds himself in some very strange situations. Pick up your copy today and take this journey home with Bill, you will not be disappointed and you will be thoroughly entertained.
