Third 'Reporter' book published



 My latest book, the third in the JP Weiscarver Mystery Series and titled "The Reporter and the Penguin," has been published. Information on where to find it is below, but first a teaser from the back cover:

Officially, Shane Peltzer had walked into the Antarctic interior to his death and reporter JP Weiscarver has no reason to suspect otherwise until the unwitting intervention of a penguin.

With his nose for news compelling him to take a closer look, JP sets about ferreting out a story on the world’s coldest, highest and windiest continent.

JP Weiscarver often says the most rewarding aspect of a reporter’s job is the opportunity it affords one to experience new things, different places and intriguing people.

Such has never been more valid than when the journalist from Oldport, a small city on the Gulf of Mexico, earns a chance to work in Antarctica for a summer season.

While JP enjoys the remarkable scenery and people of the Ice, he still manages to stumble upon the story of a mysterious disappearance, written off a year earlier as an accident. Exploring possible crimes is not his job here and he’s not sure everyone wants the truth uncovered.


The paperback version is available directly from the publisher at https://www.createspace.com/4519939 or from Amazon at www.amazon.com/Reporter-Penguin-Steve-Martaindale/dp/149372889X/

It is also available for electronic download via Kindle at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00GS792A8.

I've also just opened a Web site for my books and other efforts at www.stevemartaindale.com. At the moment, it only has the landing page online but will be developed as I can.
