Dead As a Door Nail

Henry Harold Trevor Mottishaw may be the freshest writer in the world.

In his first novel, Henry Harold Mottishaw describes the unique area of the Mother Lode along with the trials and tribulations of Bay Area Dot Commers moving away from the rat-race of the city to the "safety" of the Gold Country. Dead As A Door Nail characters are everyday people that will remind you of real people you have known and cared about.

Les Moore's wandering eyes, gold mines, a rags-to-riches tale, blackmail, murder, an illegitimate child, "friends", and good food in Mottishaw's Dead As A Door Nail keeps one person's life in question right up until the end.

Dead As A Doornail is interesting, entertaining, and a good mystery with a little humor in the mix. Who did it? Almost everyone has a motive.

Mottishaw's descriptive writing makes you feel like you are there, watching the story unfold before your very eyes.
