Went to Barnes & Noble’s yesterday and couldn’t resist finding my book and facing it out. (Yes, a cheap dopamine hit. I’m desperate.)
Apologies to Ann Cleeves, whose books I hid. (Only some of them, though!)

Well, it’s another day of the week ending Y, so it’s time for another Shameless Plug! This one is not even original, alas. Even so, it’s pretty cool that you can listen to the first three chapters of my novel, Twice the Trouble, totally free on Youtube! And it’s legal, even! (I think.)

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)!

Ever since the paperback edition of my mystery thriller book, Twice the Trouble, came out in August, the price of the hard-cover edition has dropped through the basement. That’s bad for me but good for you (assuming you like hard-cover mysteries). It’s currently on sale for $6.00. Yes, that’s six Ameroes. Cheap!
It would make a great Christmas gift. I’m just sayin…
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!!!

I’m heading off to O-Town tomorrow (yes, the setting for Twice the Trouble) to hold an author talk at the Barnes & Noble on Colonial. If you’re in the area, please come! Danni and Michelle, the hosts of the excellent Book Club After Dark podcast will be presiding.

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.
What can two bucks buy you in today’s economy? A copy of my book, that’s what! For the entire month of August, the Kindle edition of Twice the Trouble is on sale for just two bucks. That’s right. Just two Ameros!
You should buy it! Right now! Don’t give me that “I don’t even have a Kindle” crap! Just buy the damned book. Buy buy buy!


I am very happy to announce that I am a finalist in the Best First P.I. Novel category for this year’s Shamus Awards! Many, many thanks to the good people of The Private Eye Writers of America for this great honor.
Good luck to all the other nominees, especially my friends Alexis Stefanovich-Thomson and Henry Wise. I hope one of us wins. And I really hope it’s me.
