It is my pleasure and I am so excited to join an amazing collection of bloggers from around the world today on a very important mission. We’re here to let the world know about Patry Francis’s debut suspense novel, “The Liar’s Diary“. The hardcover release last spring from Dutton was a hit and today marks another success for this talented author with the books trade paper release.
You might wonder why Patry’s caring friends have called on friends and strangers to spread the word on Patry’s behalf. I know Patry is pushing hard herself but she can’t take on the challenge of promoting the new release because she is currently focused on fighting another battle, the battle against cancer.
“Patry, we hope you win the fight and come out stronger, with another story to tell from the experience.”
“The Liar’s Diary” stars disheartened suburban housewife and school secretary, Jeanne Cross. Her life is unaffected and mundane, so when the vibrant and captivating Ali Mather becomes the school’s music teacher Jeanne finds a connection with this unlikely new friend.
Ali is everything Jeanne isn’t. She’s wild, passionate, and outgoing. Her lust for life, men and music spark the women’s emotional needs, vulnerabilities and long-held secrets. All of which Ali has privately recorded in her diary.
When the evidence against Jeanne’s teenage son, Jamie, leads to his arrest for Ali’s murder Jeanne must face the dark secrets and a heart breaking choice. What comes first: our loyalty to family – or the truth?
Please check out a copy of this book. Amazon has seen many rave reviews and I know you will enjoy it. While reading, send some warm thoughts to Patry, she needs the strength and encouragement more now then she ever has before.

Good on you for running this post. I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but your blog is on fire. Don’t, I repeat, don’t put it out!
Thank you, Lisa! I’ve always felt it is important to support other writers, particularly in a case like this. Patry is such a vibrant, giving person who deserves success.
Now, where is this fire you’re talking about? *looks for wisps of smoke*
Your review is spot on! Patry has woven a suspenseful tale that keeps the reader guessing right up until the end. I’m a mystery/suspense junky and I loved it!
I’m glad you enjoyed the review, Tina, and the book. Patry has a gift and we’re truly blessed to have her. The Patry Blog Day was a wonderful success. I hope others will follow in her footsteps and consider the platform blogs can offer to the future of reading and writing.
Nice of you to do this, Rebecca! I’m behind on my blog reading/commenting, but it looks like you started a cyber fire on your own.
Smiles,
Michele
*chuckles* There is that mention of fire again. I don’t understand what I did and I don’t feel toasty. lol
Thanks for the support, Michele. I love the way writers stand together.
