was just released, and it’s a Willie Mays mystery set at America’s oldest
professional ballpark, Rickwood Field in Birmingham, Alabama. It takes
place during a special MLB salute to the Negro Leagues and the field where
Willie Mays first played professional baseball—when he was 17!

*“Speaking” of Audio Books*

Catch
<https://davidakellybooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=56976d52f95203890c3afc853&id=08018531b8&e=e36a6ace5e>,

.

Even though I wrote the books, I love listening to the audiobook versions
for fun—Scotty Kwas, the narrator, does a fantastic job bringing Mike,
Kate, and the rest of my characters to audio life.

*Big Patriotic News*
Last year, I released the first book in my new Football Mysteries series,
The Two-Minute Warning. It was really fun to take Mike and Kate to an NFL
football stadium (the Dallas Cowboys’ stadium) and create a football
mystery for them.

Well, now the Football Mysteries are back with a brand-new edition!

That’s right, coming *next week* is Football Mysteries #2: The Big Bling
Blitz
<https://davidakellybooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=56976d52f95203890c3afc853&id=f42ed27eea&e=e36a6ace5e>
!

It’s a New England Patriots mystery that starts, as it should, in a
cranberry bog! If you haven’t purchased the first Football Mysteries book, The
Two-Minute Warning
<https://davidakellybooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=56976d52f95203890c3afc853&id=432140c855&e=e36a6ace5e>,
now is a great time!

In The Big Bling Blitz (try saying that three times fast!), someone has
stolen the Patriots' Quarterbacks' six Super Bowl rings! Can Mike and Kate
find them before the big game?

<https://davidakellybooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=56976d52f95203890c3afc853&id=d2259ba8d3&e=e36a6ace5e>

It's a super fun mystery and I’ll be back next week with more information
for you. The book goes on sale on Tuesday, December 10th, 2024.

It’s currently available for pre-order as an eBook
<https://davidakellybooks.us4.list-manage.com/track/click?u=56976d52f95203890c3afc853&id=fa57cb7409&e=e36a6ace5e>
but will be available in paperback and hardcover on Tuesday as well. An
audiobook will follow shortly. Due to production constraints, it will be
available on Tuesday first at Amazon, but shortly after (hopefully
Wednesday) for order at your local bookstore or Barnes & Noble.

Feel free to share this news with friends, teachers, librarians, and anyone
else who might be interested. As always, feel free to email me at
