I just finished reading your new book and it was GREAT. I am so glad God blessed you with this talent and that you are using it.

I finished reading your new mystery today, and I loved it! I am a genealogy buff like you and discovering long lost relatives is always exciting to me. Your characters are well drawn, and I related to them from the beginning of the story clear to the end. Lin Waterhouse, Author, The West Plains Dance Hall Explosion

I enjoy your characters and plots, your stories read well. Thanks for the great stories, keep them coming.
For [my wife] it is a new adventure, reading for pleasure. She is firmly hooked! She is toward the middle of "Legacy of Deception" and she is wanting to find out "who done it." Rather than watch the morning news with her coffee, she is reading your book.

I have read Left for Dead and was hooked. I am almost finished with Legacy of Deception and can't wait to get hold of the next one!!!!!
Discovery of shocking evidence of her late husband's early life sends Trish LaClede to Oklahoma seeking more information. Documentation from records and old newspapers arouses suspicion of foul play and fraud that deprived Howard’s ancestors of oil-rich land.
An elderly woman gives Trish pictures of Howard’s mother and her sister with a baby that might be Howard’s sister. But Trish suspects that the woman was involved in the land fraud. Can she trust her to tell the truth? Why did Howard’s mother keep him in the dark about his relatives in the area?
As a stranger in unknown territory Trish doesn’t know whom to trust. Can she believe anything anyone tells her? Do the ones who seem most friendly have ulterior motives? Did her research rekindle long-smoldering hatred that results in murder?
Reviews
“Legacy of Deception continues the story of the lives of the characters you met in Left for Dead while introducing others for the first time. …readers will be endeared to some of the characters …while feeling complete disdain for others.” Jim Richardson, Pauls Valley Daily Democrat.
“Where in the world, you think, does Voncille Shipley get her ideas for a great mystery? Doesn’t matter. She hooked us on Left for Dead so we’re sitting ducks for a Legacy of Deception, her sequel.
“Legacy of Deception is truly a chick story that both mothers and grandmothers will easily relate to.” Larry Russell, The Wynnewood Gazette.
