The author of four fantasy novels, The Valerian Series, (as T.R. Rankin), Tom is currently in the process of publishing a historical fiction novel. In addition to that, he's been writing nautically-themed historical murder mysteries.
Tom is offering a digital copy of the first novella in his Matthew and Martha Mystery series, Murder in the Limelight. Based on an actual event, the story takes place on Martha’s Vineyard in November 1898 after the Great Portland Gale has decimated the North East coast. When a body is found aboard a wrecked and burning lime schooner and the remainder of the crew turn up on Captain Matthew Reynolds' yacht, he and the recently widowed Martha Dickinson find themselves caught up in a mystery involving drug smuggling, tax evasion, fraud, and finally murder. Add in a bit of romance and Murder in the Limelight keeps readers guessing — and page turning — right to the very end.
