The Advocate’s Killer, the 11th Book in the Series, Launches Today

On May 12, 2020   /   Amazon, attorneys, child advocate, mystery   /   Leave a comment

THE ADVOCATE’S KILLER is released today. It is book number eleven in The Advocate Series. This book was written in the shortest length of time so far. However, it had less to do with an increase in my writing speed, than it had to do with the Covid-19 pandemic. Stuck at home in isolation gave me a lot of writing time.

I have to tell you though, I’m starting to get cabin fever. I miss my walks at the bay and the beach. I miss seeing my family. I miss going to the movies. Heck, I even miss going to the store, and I hate to shop.

I sit here feeling sorry for my self, and then I think about how lucky I really am. My heart goes out to all those families who have lost loved ones. They will forever feel the loss. For the rest of us, this won’t last forever, and if we are all kind and thoughtful of others, we can get through this together.

Stay safe and Covid-19 Free.

Murder on the Hoof

On February 28, 2018   /   Uncategorized   /   Leave a comment

If you’re looking for a good book to read or a new author, here’s a chance to try Gayle Carline’s novel, Murder on the Roof. It’s a good mystery, and Gayle always adds some humor. This book normally sells for $3.99, but right now it is on sale for only $.99.

She was looking for a horse. What she found was romance. And danger.

Willie Adams is at the L.A. Equestrian Center shopping for her first horse. A young widow struggling with the idea of dating again, she never expected that a gorgeous trainer like Tyler Ransome would notice her. But he did.
He wasn’t the only one, either. Bobby Fermino is not as handsome, nor as pleasant. After attacking Willie he ends up dead in her tack room, leaving her the most likely suspect.

Willie has to convince Detective Lucas Macy that she’s innocent, but her physical attraction to him isn’t making the task easy.

With growing evidence pointing to her, and two famous actors drawing attention to the investigation, Willie decides to take the reins. She must find the murderer before they find her, but will she survive opening her heart to someone new?

Have fun!

Mason’s Missing Release

On September 30, 2017   /   Amazon, Hacker, mysteries, mystery, Uncategorized   /   2 Comments

MASON’S MISSING is the first book in my newest series. Up until now, I have only written novels in The Advocate Series. In book #6, The Advocate’s Felony, I had a character named Tuper that became a fan favorite. When The Advocate’s Felony was released, I had request after request for more Tuper. Since Tuper didn’t fit in San Diego in JP and Sabre’s world, I started his own series. Tuper is an old cowboy who lives near Helena, Montana. He likes three things, women, guns, and gambling. In the new series, Tuper meets up with an unlikely sidekick, a young computer hacker. The dialog between these two was really fun to write.MASON’S MISSING is available for Pre-Order now and will release on Tuesday, October 3, 2017. Please join me for the Facebook Launch on Teresa Burrell Fan Page from 4:00 to 7:00 PDT. I will also be making a personal appearance to launch the paperback version on Saturday, October 7, at 10:30 a.m. at The Ontario Convention Center, 2000 Convention Center Way, Ontario, California. Come by and say hello if you can. In honor of the release of MASON’S MISSING, The Advocate’s Felony will be FREE on Kindle from 10/2 through 10/6. Download a copy if you haven’t already, and please tell your friends.Keep on reading…

THE ADVOCATE’S HOMICIDES is here!

On September 12, 2016   /   Uncategorized   /   2 Comments

tahTHE ADVOCATE’S HOMICIDES, the eighth book in The Advocate Series, released today. This was a tough book to write, but it needed to be done. It took longer than usual to write for many reasons–some personal, some just because of the subject matter of the book, but in the end, I’m glad I wrote it. I hope you enjoy it, and as usual, I welcome your comments either as a review or in an email to me at teresa@teresaburrell.com. I love to hear from my readers.

Here are a few of the early reviews:

“If you have a sense of justice, you’ll love this book and appreciate the ending. The only downside is, you may lose some sleep while you’re reading it.”–Kindle Customer.

“Had me on the edge of my seat. The author keeps you guessing all the way through. The story was well-developed, the characters, even the more minor ones, were very real….She really makes you care about what the children have to go through to get justice. You can tell they aren’t just characters to her.”–Lady Silverlocks

“This IS your personal best. What a spell binder. You need to write me a check in the amount of ‘One Good Night’s Sleep’. I couldn’t put it down. Your ending reads like a concerto at the end of a memorable symphony.”–Rodger

Enjoy!

April is Child Abuse Prevention Month

On April 1, 2016   /   Uncategorized   /   Leave a comment

I’m reaching out to all my friends on social media to help build awareness for child abuse prevention. April is the month that has been set aside to build awareness. The U.S. has one of the highest rates of abuse among the industrialized nations. Let’s change that! Be a part of the solution.

You may bTie One On!e familiar with the “Tie One On” campaigns that have been done for other causes. Now there is one for child abuse awareness. You can participate by wearing an ugly tie (or a not so ugly one if you don’t normally wear ties) on or about April 22, 2016. Please take a photo of yourself wearing a tie and holding this sign or one similar, and post it on my Facebook page. You can download the sign from here, or copy and paste it. If you’re having trouble there’s another sign for download on TieOne.org. IMG_6796

I practiced law for twelve years as a child advocate, as does my character, Sabre Brown, in The Advocate Series. Those of you who are familiar with Sabre know that she often wears ties to work, but only Jerry Garcia ties. As an added bonus for your efforts to help build child abuse awareness, I’ll be giving away an autographed Jerry Garcia tie from Sabre’s collection. (The autograph will be mine, not Jerry Garcia’s.) You will be entered in the drawing if you post your photo (with tie and sign) on my Facebook Page, or Tweet your photo with the hashtags #ChildAbusePrevention and #TeresaBurrell.

You can also send your photo to TieOne.org and they may post it on their site.

In thirteen seconds another child will be abused in the U.S. Let’s be heard–and please TIE ONE ON TO END CHILD ABUSE.
