Press Release

HOUSTON, TX (May 28, 2008) –Little Moose Press , Beverly Hills, California, announces the release of the third Allie Armington mystery by Houston author, Louise Gaylord. “Louise Gaylord takes us where other mystery writers fear to tread, down the life path of a heroine who is more real than super-heroic, someone we adore rather than idolize,” states publisher, Ellen Reid. Even as Louise Gaylord continues to re-define her own life as a writer, her alter ego Allie Armington traces an arc through professions and relationships and murder, searching for that elusive thing called “truth.”

Louise Gaylord is renowned for plots that twist and turn with the coincidental chaos of reality, impeccably researched webs of modern culture and sub-culture and characters driven by fundamental needs and desires, headline worlds and eccentric characters that exist all around us, that we want to see and to know and to judge. But Allie Armington is the vehicle of Louise Gaylord’s own truth, that every day is a new day, a re-evaluation of that which came before, a re-birth of the soul, an opportunity to communicate and to connect with others, here, there, and everywhere.

 Gaylord is the national award-winning author of the Allie Armington Mystery Series. Her first book, “Anacacho”, won the National Benjamin Franklin Award for Best Mystery/Suspense in Los Angeles. “Xs” won first place in USABookNews.com's Best Books Awards and was a finalist in both the ForeWord Book of the Year Awards and was a finalist in the IPPY’s.

Louise Gaylord is at the peak of her resonant word power in this latest Allie Armington mystery. Open your heart and your mind, and allow writer and heroine to speak to you about how we live and how we die, in SPA DEADLY.
