Diversion Giveaway at Goodreads

To celebrate the release of my newest novel, Diversion, I've posted a giveaway for two paperback copies at Goodreads:

Drug dealers aren't always on the streets; sometimes they sit in offices and board rooms, selling merchandise in official looking bottles instead of little cellophane bags. 

When given a choice between eight more years in prison or using his "expertise" to assist the Southeastern Narcotics Bureau's Department of Diversion Prevention and Control, convicted drug trafficker Richmond "Lucky" Lucklighter takes the sentence with the illusion of freedom. Cynical and unwilling to admit he's begun to care about his job, he counts the days until his debt is paid. His sole obstacle to getting his life back is the rookie he's assigned to train before he leaves; a rookie who quotes pharmacy texts, hasn't paid his dues, and has the obnoxious tendency of seeing the good in everyone – including the target of their investigation. 

Former Marine Bo Schollenberger dreamed of becoming a pharmacist and watched the dream turn into a nightmare of PTSD-fueled prescription drug abuse. Battling his demons daily, he wakes up every morning, wondering, "Will this be the day I give in?" To keep his license, he must now put his skills to use for a diversion control task force, deal with a crude partner with too much attitude and no brain-to-mouth filter, and take down a drug lord who reminds him of his favorite cooking show hostess. 

The bad guys don't stand a chance -- if Lucky and Bo don't strangle each other first.

P.D. Singer Book Giveaway

My dear friend P.D. Singer is giving away a print copy of her upcoming novel, The Rare Event, at Goodreads.

Reposted by permission:

Because I'm so delighted with The Rare Event being available in so many formats, including "Dead Tree," I'm offering a signed copy of The Rare Event to one fortunate reader. If you're a member of Goodreads, (might as well, membership is free and there's lots to see, do, and yack about, in addition to tracking your reading) click here.

I had the priviledge of beta reading this book, and let me tell you, it's a definite keeper. Although it's 118,000 words, it was a quick read for me because I couldn't put the darn thing down. Look for it March 30 from Dreamspinner Press. Isn't that an amazing cover?



Hedge fund trader Ricky Santeramo has it all: money, looks, and fellow trader Jonathan Hogenboom. The two couldn't be more different: Jon is from old money, while Ricky clawed his way out of blue-collar New Jersey. Jon hedges his positions; Ricky goes for broke. Jon likes opera and the Yankees; Ricky prefers clubbing. Jon drinks wine with dinner; Ricky throws back a beer. Jon wants monogamy… but Ricky likes variety. 

Bankrupt airlines are facing strikes, the housing market is starting to crumble, and Jon can't wait any longer for Ricky to commit. One last night alone and one last risky trade make Jon say, "Enough." Then Jon's old friend Davis comes to New York City, ready for baseball and forever. The whole world is chaos, but there are fortunes to be made—or lost—and hearts to be broken—or won. 

Faced with losing it all, Ricky must make the savviest trades of his life and pray for a rare event. His portfolio and Jon's love are on the line.

A funny thing happened on the way to Fallen Angel... aka The Author and the Trademark

A complication arose while writing Fallen Angel, the sequel to The Angel of 13th Street, that sadly, was a result of a legality. It seems the name I'd chosen for Noah and Doc's organization, A New Life, was free and clear when I wrote the first volume, but has since become a legally registered entity. What to do, what to do? I could simply avoid using the name of the organization in the story and call it "our organization", but that proved unworkable, so in the end, I changed the name and worked it into the plot line, using the truth as the reasoning.

Here's hoping that the new name isn't snatched up before I can complete the third installment, Broken Wing. I must write like the wind...
