Please Welcome Mystery Author and E-Newsletter Publisher, Rebecca Dahlke


Rebecca Dahlke

I'll let Rebecca Tell You About Herself and What She's Been Up To:

I sort of fell into the job of running a crop-dusting business when my dad decided he'd rather go on a cruise than take another season of lazy pilots, missing flaggers, testy farmers and horrific hours.

After two years at the helm, I handed him back the keys and fled to a city without any of the above. And no, I was never a crop-duster.

I write about a tall, blond and beautiful ex-model turned crop-duster who, to quote Lalla Bains, has "been married so many times they oughta revoke my license."

In A DEAD RED CADILLAC she's about to turn forty, and in

A DEAD RED HEART, another birthday is staring her in the face. Lalla is no Danielle Steele character & she's not afraid of chipping her manicure. Scratch that, the girl doesn't have time for a manicure what with herding a bunch of recalcitrant pilots and juggling work orders just to keep her father's flagging business alive.

I enjoy writing my mysteries with humor and if you enjoy my books, I'd love to hear from you! e-mail me: rp@rpdahlke.com

REBECCA'S ALL MYSTERY! ENEWSLETTER -

I stopped writing for exactly five years to the day of my son’s death and awoke to the lightning fast and newest form of internet communication: Blogs! Facebook! Twitter! I knew that if I expected to re-enter the mainstream of mystery readers I was going to have to find a novel way to get their attention. So, how to “brand” my name and upcoming books to readers? Since I already had experience creating an e-newsletter for an art group I belong to, I saw the possibilities for something could potentially reach hundreds, and eventually, thousands of readers who BUY mystery and suspense. Mystery Scene Magazine uses the same template, Constant Contact, to promote their print magazine. They, however, charge for the subscription and they picked only a few authors for their issues…mostly best sellers. I soon realized that most authors, newbies as well as the NY bestseller list, can use as much publicity as they can get, and FREE is better yet. Needless to say my goal is to take All Mystery e-newsletter into the in-boxes of every mystery and suspense reader in America.
Back issues & author submittal info can all be found at my website: http://www.allmysteryenewsletter.com/

I also have the following platforms to promote authors of All Mystery e-newsletter:
