A quick newsletter with a special eBook deal I’ll mention later. First off, my new book will be going off to my editor by the end of the week. I have three beta readers who are finishing reading my second draft. Early feedback has been great. One telling me the story held her attention from beginning to end. I’ve also reached out to my cover designer to begin the process of developing the cover, giving her a few ideas on the design. The book, Justice for the Forgotten, will be the beginning of a new series. I will have more information in my next newsletter.
I have a big couple of months of Craft Fairs starting on Saturday, with seven straight weeks of events. I had two more winners of $10 Amazon Gift Cards, Deana and Brandi. And I have a few pictures of book buyers at each event.
Brandi, who is a collector of my work, bought two books to complete her bookshelf, which she sent me a picture of. If you have a bookshelf with my books on it, I would love to see a picture.
The special deal I mentioned earlier, is a free eBook version of one of my favorites. One near and dear to me, because of my Computer Information Technology background. Dead Man Code took my private eye, Jarvis Mann, into the world of computer hacking and theft. The murder of a computer engineer and involvement from the Russians and Chinese. Fictionalized, real-world events. Here are a couple of reviews:
The plot is thrilling and the action is amazing! I was on the edge of my seat from one page to the next. At first, it seemed that Jarvis was out of his depth in the tech world; however, his wit and intelligence ensured that he brought himself up to speed pretty quickly. There are several unexpected twists in the plot as Jarvis makes new enemies, finds new allies, and discovers his client’s big secret – Charity
I could not predict how the story would turn out or if Jarvis would be victorious in the end. Sometimes, no names are mentioned in the dialogue to withhold the character’s identity and it keeps me at the edge of my seat. The characters are well-developed and realistic. The 62 chapters in this book just flew by and all were equally fascinating. Many times, I would cringe and think, is this finally the end of Jarvis? He manages to get himself in the most excruciating of predicaments – Star Platinum
You can locate the eBook for free from Amazon from Oct 29th through Nov 2nd. Please take advantage of this great deal so we can shoot the book up the Amazon Best Seller Charts. And when you’re done reading don’t forget to leave an honest review.
