Writing my books gives me a great deal of joy. In them, I’m back at the New Jersey shore hanging out with my friends and solving mysteries, or in my short stories on another planet encountering aliens or sailing through space discovering new worlds. I especially enjoy designing and painting the covers for each book. To me, everything in life is a story, good and bad. I mix it all together and stir it around to make something enjoyable and full of flavor.
Sam and the Junkman
Sam and the Junkman, A New Jersey Murder Mystery jam-packed with Italians, Hungarians, food, and MURDER. After escaping from a toxic relationship and rural backwoods boredom, science fiction artist, Sam Dvorshak, runs back home to New Jersey and family. She immediately reunites with her long time pal Tony DeFranco, a cool and handsome Italian dude who buys and sells junk.
The Buzz
“Sam and the Junkman is sharp and witty, sweet and engaging. Keeps you guessing to the end. A pleasurable who-dunnit!”
“Slow Boat To Murder” is the second book of Marilyn Salzano’s “Sam and Junkman Murder Mystery Series.” It’s authentic and interesting characters and story moved me along from one quirky plot twist to the next.
“Night of the Living Head” “A murder mystery tag-team adventure! This is a fun tale! I loved the peculiar elements of life at home in this small New Jersey town.”
