Free Book Giveaway

Hello everyone! For anybody who hasn't yet bought a copy of my new book, "Death Of A Princess", it's going to be available for free tomorrow through an Amazon promo!!

The promo is supposed to run from midnight (tonight) through midnight tomorrow (so all day Thursday!), and hopefully it will be a bestseller on the "Mystery" and/or "Women Sleuths" Categories on the Free Book pages for Amazon!!

I'll post the "Free Book" link tomorrow, sometime in the morning...

BTW, if you've already purchased it and want to try and get it through the free deal instead, I think all you have to do is select "return for a refund" on your Kindle account, and then you can re-download it again at no charge. Regardless of how you end up getting it, if you do so, I truly appreciate your support !!!

Death Of A Princess - LIVE!

Hello All!

Hope everyone is well and enjoying the green grass and bright colors of Spring!  Just wanted to let everyone know that "Death Of A Princess" is live and available for purchase in the Kindle store now.  If you've read the first few chapters on here, and then you end up buying the actual book, you'll realize right away that quite a few things have changed!  My entire Chapter One is COMPLETELY different, and it's now action-packed and terrifying enough to hopefully pull people right on in (and to set the alternately 'ominous and then thrilling' tone for the whole rest of the book).

Throughout the novel (so crystal clear in my mind as I was writing it), the reader will get to go traipsing through the gorgeous woods, stately mountains, and sprawling valleys of the North Carolina I knew and loved in my childhood.  All three of my books to date, have either been mostly set in N.C. ("And Still, She Wept" and "Death Of A Princess"), or have at least part of the action there ("The Job").  I spent the first 27 years of my life in North Carolina, and it's the kind of place that leaves an imprint on your soul.  I hold onto it with memories both bitter and sweet, and it'll always be a part of me.  I hope you enjoy visiting a fictional town in the Western NC Mountains in "Death Of A Princess", as much as I enjoyed writing about it.

Here's the link if you haven't already seen it, and by the way - it already has a five star review!  I was surprised to see it when I visited the site to begin the process of uploading the eBook to CreateSpace (to initiate the print version), and was very honored that particular reader enjoyed the story so thoroughly!

Next on the agenda is a novel set in new territory:  Florida, the fascinating place where I currently reside!  It's the Sunshine State, for certain (as evidenced by my dogs basking in the sun all day, the two of them lounging out on the porch together like overfed sloths).  But in this novel, the Sunshine State will be the setting for my new main character, and the very dark, very perplexing series of crimes she's caught up in.  Can't wait to tell you more about it, but I've still got a lot of work to do first.

In the meantime, please give me feedback on what you think about "Death Of A Princess".  Who's your favorite character?  How does it compare to "And Still, She Wept"?  And most importantly, did you like it?

And as far as my free time goes (what little of it there will be :)...) - have you read any good books lately that you think I might enjoy?  Feel free to comment on here any time!

Take care everyone and Happy Reading!
