My Book The Blind Detective Is Now Available!

The Blind Detective

Steven Hawthorne is blind. He currently works as a detective for the police department, but he was previously a cop. Several years ago, while in pursuit of a suspect, he lost his eyesight in an explosive car accident. Now, Steven uses his investigative instincts and his increased situational awareness to solve mysteries. His Black Labrador guide dog, Missy, also has a talent for sniffing out clues. Together with their friend Jeff York, the team solves a number of mysteries.

In "Shark Bite Fever," Kathy White is kidnapped by a mob-style loan shark. In "Every Dog Gets Her Day," Missy emerges as a formidable detective in her own right. When a body is found at a dog show and a prize Chihuahua goes missing, it's up to the trio to solve the case and save the show. In "The Enigmatic Echoes," the challenge is to locate a valuable jewel that's gone missing from the Crystal Crown Hotel in Las Vegas. Finally, in "Wedding Blues," Steven, Jeff, and Missy follow a series of scavenger hunt-style clues across the city in pursuit of a stolen wedding ring.

Written for children 10 to 12 years old, these stories of mystery and friendship will ignite young readers' curiosity, prompting conversations about living with blindness, guide dog etiquette, blindness-friendly occupations, and the value of diversity and inclusion.

    Howdy just wanted to give you a brief heads up and let you know a few of the images aren’t loading properly.
    I’m not sure why but I think its a linking issue. I’ve tried it in two different web browsers and both show the same results.

    Hey would you mind sharing which blog platform you’re working with?
    I’m looking to start my own blog in the near future but I’m having a
    tough time making a decision between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and
    Drupal. The reason I ask is because your layout seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for
    something unique. P.S Sorry for being off-topic but I had to ask!

    I’m amazed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog
    that’s both equally educative and interesting, and let me tell you,
    you’ve hit the nail on the head. The issue is something that
    not enough men and women are speaking intelligently about.

    I am very happy I came across this in my hunt for something relating to
    this.

    Thanks =)

  6. Its like you read my mind! You appear to know so much about this, like you wrote the book in it or
    something. I think that you can do with a few pics to drive
    the message home a bit, but instead of that, this is magnificent blog.

    An excellent read. I’ll definitely be back.

    • Thanks for your kind words! The reason why you will not find many pictures on my blog is because I am blind and pictures mean nothing to me; in fact pictures if not marked up correctly, can be a hinderance to myself and others who use screen reading technology. I do hope that you will continue to read my blog and enjoy its content.

    really like your way of writing a blog. I added it to my bookmark

    and let me know what you think.

  8. Hello there! I know this is kinda off topic but I was wondering which blog platform are you
    using for this site? I’m getting sick and tired of WordPress because I’ve had issues
    with hackers and I’m looking at options for another platform.
    I would be fantastic if you could point me in the
    direction of a good platform.

    • Hello, Thank you for your comment. To answer your question, my blog is in WordPress.org. If you are concerned about hackers, I would suggest using a secure password manager and possibly 2Factor Authentication to secure your account. However, if your problem is with people spamming your blog with comments to self-promote their own site, then I don’t know what to tell you, because I have been dealing with a lot of spam comments lately. Come on people, if you are just trying to promote your own blog, at least leave a legitimate comment with your URL! This blog is supposed to be a place for peaceful information sharing, not a promotional billboard.

  9. Definitely believe that which you stated. Your favorite reason appeared to be
    on the internet the simplest thing to be aware of.
    I say to you, I certainly get annoyed while people consider worries
    that they just do not know about. You managed to hit the nail upon the top and also
    defined out the whole thing without having side effect , people could
    take a signal. Will likely be back to get more. Thanks

  10. With havin so much written content do you ever run into any problems of plagorism or
    copyright infringement? My site has a lot of unique content I’ve either authored myself or outsourced
    but it seems a lot of it is popping it up
    all over the web without my authorization. Do you know any methods to help stop content from being ripped off?
    I’d truly appreciate it.
