A large part of success comes with a proper attitude.

The most successful authors I know enjoy the process of learning and got into the business from the pleasure and challenge of writing.

Impatience, mistrustfulness, and competitiveness with other writers can be very damaging to a career. Focus on your own content, find your own best voice, and enjoy the ride. This can be a wonderful business.

So, Harrison begins to wonder if foul play could be involved. Then her apartment is broken into before he can even move in.

SNUFFED OUT

By: Tim Myers

When the power goes out in Harrison Black's candle shop, he finds his tenant electrocuted. Now Harrison will burn the candle at both ends to catch a killer as the tenant's death starts to look shockingly like murder.

A cozy setting, a cunning plot, a charmingly eccentric cast of characters, and some helpful hints about candlemaking and cooking combine beautifully in the debut of this captivating series by Tim Myers, author of the Edgar Award–nominated Lighthouse Inn mysteries. Candle shop owner Belle Black had brightened the lives of everyone around her, and she'd been a really wonderful great-aunt to Harrison Black. When Belle dies suddenly, she leaves everything to Harrison. That legacy includes the converted factory and warehouse of River's Edge, where Belle lived and worked -- it's now a complex of shops, offices, and more. To the nearly broke and increasingly disillusioned computer salesman Harrison, stepping into Belle's life seems like the fresh start he's been looking for. Belle didn't believe in funerals or fancy headstones, so Harrison sees living up to the trust she placed in him -- caring for Belle's tenants and friends, and tackling the creative and practical challenges of running her candle shop, At Wick's End -- as the perfect living memorial to Belle's life. A series of break-ins, vandalism, and worse soon add fuel to Harrison's suspicion that Belle's death was no accident…and that there's something her killer still wants at River's Edge. Now it's up to Harrison to burn the candle of his life at both ends until he can illuminate the truth, and deliver justice.
