About Me

I'm an Oklahoma mystery author. See my debut novel, Twisted Perception, at http://www.bobavey.com. You can also sign up for my free newsletter and register to win a free autographed copy of Twisted Perception.My passion is writing, but I also enjoy reading -- almost anything, but especially mystery -- history, antiques,travel,gambling and food. I crave adventure, but at 56 I can't be too out there. Whenever possible, I like to experience first hand the things I write about. Let me tell you about Twisted Perception. Porter, Oklahoma holds a dark secret, and troublesome dreams plague Tulsa Police Detective, Kenny Elliot, who grew up in the small town. When a bizarre murder catapults Elliot into his past, he’s brought face to face with the fabric of his nightmares. A shiny necklace dangles from the mirror of the vehicle where Lagayle Zimmerman, the victim, is discovered.Nine years earlier, in Porter, a similar necklace swung from the mirror of a Mustang that harbored the mutilated bodies of Elliot’s friends, Jonathan Alexander (Johnnie Boy), and Marcia Barnes. Most of the town believed Elliot killed his classmates, but no arrest was made. Following the advice of Porter’s Chief of Police, Elliot left town, never to look back - until now.Risking his job and his sanity, Elliot digs into his past to solve the murders and expose the truth.
