News & Announcements

First, thanks to all who tossed in their vote for my book cover! The Devil Can Wait won November cover of the month on Erin Aislinn's website, http://www.erinaislinn.com/BookCoveroftheMonth.htm. Now it and the other 11 covers from 2008 are eligible to compete for 2008 cover of the year. More on this as soon as the link is up!

THE DEVIL CAN WAIT is now up for a vote at the 2009 Preditors & Editors readers' poll in the mystery section http://www.critters.org/predpoll/novelmys.shtml. There are lots of familiar author names and book titles listed. Be sure to read throughall the categories and vote for your favorite read!

FYI, the first book in the Harper series, Silenced Cry, got to 4th place last in this the P&E. I'd love to get The Devil Can Wait within the top ten too!!

Now for the BIG announcement. I've launched a new blog called, SAM HARPER CRIME SCENE http://samharpercrimescene.blogspot.com featuring none other than myprotagonist, homicide detective Sam Harper.

The inspiration for this blog came from you, the readers and fans—I love it and appreciate your many kind words of encouragement more than you know.

In an attempt to do something a different with this blog, I've developed a series of short Harper stories to post in segments that will continue for 3-4 weeks. Every few weeks I'll post the beginning of a new story.

Part one of DIRTY LITTLE SECRET will be posted on Friday, January 9. I hope you'll enjoy the Harper Shorts. As always, I look forward to your comments!
