About the Omar T Series:
Omar and his family travel to a different location for each of these culinary adventures. The travel fiction aspect is enhanced with descriptions of actual sites, restaurants, bookstores, galleries and shops—including sketches, favorite lists and recipes. Diversity in race, religion, culture, language and sexual orientation not only exists within Omar’s family, it is celebrated in these tales. I call this story telling ‘Mystery Lite.’ It is not centered on murder and violence. Any mystery is based on actual culture and history. Rather than relying on the perverse, these stories are meant to appeal to the enlightened—someone inspired by the creative arts and those who overcome adversity. Each Omar T book is independent, you do not need to read them in the order of their publication, though there are some references for those who do.

Exciting newes: The Omar T Series has just gone into development for the small screen, web and TV!





READER COMMENTS:
"Thank you for this series Deamer, it is so nice to read a story which downplays violence and emphasizes the best in life..."

"I read a little Omar before I go to sleep each night; a page, a paragraph, even just a line or two. Somehow this insures good dreams!"

"When I'm reading a Deamer novel, I just feel better about the world..."
