description: I've connected with a lot of great people on Goodreads recently, so I wanted to do something special for my new friends.

This week only, I've lowered the price of the Kindle edition of my debut novel, "Train Wreck," to just 99 cents. It's a quick read that will make you laugh and keep you guessing.

Thanks for supporting me and my fellow indie authors. Have a great week!
