True-Life Adventure by J. D. Smith
A Paul Mcdonald Mystery (1st in series)
Publisher: booksBnimble
Things were going lousy for ex-reporter Paul Mcdonald: No money, no girl friend, no bright new career as a mystery novelist … and then along came PI Jack Birnbaum with an offer. He'd detect, and Paul would write the client reports. It wasn't much, but it would keep Spot the cat in Kitty Queen tidbits.
A day that begins with a body in your living room really ought to get better, but next comes burglary and after that, assault-by-cop. And Paul's got a feeling that's just the beginning. There must have been something someone didn't want him to know in one of those client reports. But what?
A story he can sell, if he can catch the murderer before the murderer catches him. Kind of a dangerous option, but there's an upside — lovely witness Sardis Kincannon. Nothing like falling in love while you're running for your life!

Huckleberry Fiend by J. D. Smith
A Paul Mcdonald Mystery (2nd in series)
Publisher: booksBnimble
Paul Mcdonald has a book — and he really shouldn't have it! In between much-needed therapy sessions, his neurotic friend Booker the burglar stole it from his dad's girl friend's roommate Beverly, and now wants sometime-sleuth Paul to find its rightful owner. Because he's pretty sure Beverly's not it.
Paul is so awed he can hardly bring himself to touch it. It's none other than the missing holograph of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, possibly the most priceless American manuscript in existence. And Beverly's no librarian, she's a flight attendant, so Booker suspects chicanery. He's only too right: Beverly, it turns out, is dead. Murdered for the manuscript, if Paul's guess is right.
He finds out it's in high demand from a zany collection of collectors, Huckleberry Fiends of all stripes of crazy, every single one of them capable of murder.
Suddenly he's the protagonist of A Literary Nightmare, surrounded by Mysterious Strangers, playing out A Double-Barrelled Detective Story involving A Stolen White Elephant and pretty much Roughing It with Homicide Inspector Howard Blick. It's truly, A Murder, a Mystery, and a Marriage … no, not a marriage, a manuscript! But Paul does have his eye on tough and savvy Sardis Kincannon …
