Fiction Books

This is my first attempt at writing fiction and the first of the Wentworth Mysteries which is a pentalogy (five books) three and a half of which are written. There is an interesting backstory to this book and this pentalogy. If you are interested, please check out Identity Backstory.

Wentworth feels guilty and looks into case only to find out the people are not always what they seem to be.

Finding My Books on Amazon

To find my books on Amazon, go to Amazon.com and select Kindle Store. Then type in "John Artz" without the quotes. It will list my books. 

If that is way too much work, just click here Dr Artz's Books on Amazon

I also plan to create audible versions of the non fiction books as I can read them with my own voice. However, when I finally get to writing some fiction, I will either have to learn how to do voices or get someone else to read them.
