Reviews are Great for Fire, Fog and Water, the new Sgt. Windflower Mystery

Midwest Book Reviews says

“Most murder mysteries create a cat-and-mouse interplay between perp and investigator, but the fact that Sgt. Windflower is also probing his own motives, reactions, and life adds an extra dimension of interest to the story that makes for rich and absorbing reading indeed. Readers seeking a fine story steeped in psychological inspection will relish both the character of Mountie Windflower and his ability to navigate the murky waters of self, community, and home.”

Fire, Fog and Water on Amazon Average rating: 4.5

“The author writes in an easy manner that makes the story feel as if you are part of the cast and at home or taking a walk along with Winston and Lady, his dog. A thoroughly enjoyable and quick read that makes you want for more. Love Mike Martin books. Looking forward to more! Highly recommend!”

Fire, Fog and Water on NetGalley Average rating: 4.5

“Apart from being a great murder mystery this is a story of Newfoundland communities and relationships. Having spent a little time in Newfoundland, and loved it, this story really appealed to me. There’s a multitude of layers happening, contributing to my enjoyment.”

Fire, Fog and Water on Goodreads Average rating: 4.9

“This Sgt. Windflower book may be his best. I enjoyed the story and the setting in small town Newfoundland. This is a great series – highly recommended.”

Christmas in Newfoundland — Memories and Mysteries: A Sgt. Windflower Book – Paperback

“Christmas in Newfoundland is a special time. In the depths of long winter nights memories are made and stories are told. Of Christmas by candlelight and horse and buggy rides to church. Of shopping on Water Street in St. John’s before malls and the Internet. In later years, Sgt. Windflower came to work and then to stay in the quiet town of Grand Bank by the Atlantic Ocean where the salt air froze in the wind and the Mounties were welcomed to warm themselves by every fire. Come and warm yourself by the fire and hear their stories. Some memories and some mysteries. Enjoy some holiday time with Sgt. Windflower and all the familiar characters that you’d come to know and love. Good food, good friends and always another chair at the table.”

Update #3 Windflower Holiday Book Sale

The Windflower Holiday Book Sale is going great!! After three weeks we have recorded 70 book sales and that means our running total is $350.00 for the Minwaashin Lodge-Indigenous Women’s Support Centre in Ottawa. WOW!!

Please join us in supporting a very worthwhile cause.

For those of you who are just finding out about this fundraiser, I am donating $5.00 from the sale of every Windflower book in December to the Minwaashin Lodge-Indigenous Women’s Support Centre in Ottawa. This facility is a healing centre in Ottawa that provides a range of programs and services to First Nations, Inuit and Metis women and children who are survivors of domestic and other forms of violence, and who may also be suffering the effects of the residential school system.

The mission of Minwaashin Lodge-Indigenous Women’s Support Centre is to provide wholistic programs and services for grandmothers, women, children and youth impacted by family violence and residential schooling. All programs and services are provided in the context of cultural beliefs and values as part of the healing journey.

The money donated will go to support First Nations, Inuit and Metis women and children to have a good meal and presents from Santa under the tree on Christmas morning.

For more information about Minwaashin Lodge-Indigenous Women’s Support Centre and to make your own donation please visit:
