THE LADIES FROM LONG ISLAND
Five Star Review from Indies Today
These long-legged ladies from Long Island are twins with conflicting lifestyles; and a competitive streak that belies their DNA. Life in New York City is a far cry from those lazy days at the country club, and making out with mobsters is not going to improve mother’s heart condition. Freelance writer Michael Penn is all over this tale of murder and mayhem, and who better to unravel the mystery? Did you know he won a Wurlitzer Prize for his investigation into the music industry?

The dogs in my book belong to my friends. Everything else is fiction and you can’t believe what these woofers get up to. I have included my usual amount of murder, intrigue, and finger-biting excitement and, if that isn’t enough, I have inserted a laugh on every page. The stories come out of America, Australia and Europe, and some of these animals are so talented they are almost human.
