Just a heads-up…. My Edgar-nominated and Shamus-winning novel, Twice the Trouble, is a Kindle Deal all this month. You can get the ebook for just $1.99. That’s less than half the price of a Starbucks’ latte (and it will last a lot longer)!
Many thanks to Cara Putman for interviewing me on her excellent Book Talk podcast. She’s a great writer and interviewer and I’m very grateful. Please check it out.
I’m very honored to announce that Twice the Trouble has won this year’s Shamus Award in the First Novel category. Many, many thanks to the Private Eye Writers of America, my incredible agent Cindy Bullard, and Crooked Lane Books!!!
If you’re going to be in Central Florida later this month, please try to attend my book talk on August 26 at the Barnes & Noble with Danni and Michelle, the hosts of the Book Club After Dark. We will be discussing Twice the Trouble, the paperback edition of which goes on sale that day.
The event is ticketed, so please click here to get your (free) ticket and reserve a seat.
Recently I chatted with my friend Jeff Circle on his excellent “The Writer’s Dossier” podcast. We discussed topics ranging from growing up in Gainesville to 80s music to crime fiction. I had a great time, even though I was slow to grasp the concept of “rapid-fire responses.” Oh, well. I’m getting old.

I had a lot of fun being on the “Do You Remember the First Time?” panel at the Edgar Awards Symposium last week. Panel chair Terry Shames did a great job, and I got to meet some hitherto online-only friends like Audrey Lee. I also made some new ones.
I was pretty nervous and I think it shows, but oh, well. Check it out if you’re interested.
Okay, I suck at social media. But I’m working on it. Thanks to Mystery Writers of America for posting this to Instagram.
It’s hard to believe, but it’s been a year since the launch of my mystery novel, Twice the Trouble. It’s been a wild ride! To commemorate the launch, I’m re-posting this very long (three chapters!) sample of the audiobook version on Youtube from Google Play.
I had a really good time this week doing a Q&A with Bianca Vendenbos of Book Notions. Check it out here when you can!
I am very honored (not to mention shocked, amazed, and overwhelmed) to have received an Edgar Award nomination for Best First Novel by an American Author. Many thanks to the Mystery Writers of America, Crooked Lane Books, and my outstanding agent, Cindy Bullard of Birch Literary.
I am also humbled to be in such fine company. The other five nominees have written some truly great books.
And, by the way, the Kindle edition of Twice the Trouble is on sale right now on Amazon. I’m just sayin…
