Does Death Make My Ass Look Fat?
Her father was a religious man. Every once in a while he'd steal a car and take the family to church.

Instead of a video trailer...
because video can take a LONG time to get to the point, I’ve created this presentation for my new book, Dead Heat. Hope you get something out of it. Thanks.

Dead Heat
I don’t expect you to read my new book, DEAD HEAT, but I do expect you to force your friends and family to read it. I don’t think threats of extortion or retaliation—or of something even worse—are too much to ask. And if they have the nerve to ask what DEAD HEAT is about, here’s what you can tell them:
The Lit-Crit Take: A genre-bending, character-driven, word-burning thriller about politics, love and the haunting pain of memory.
The Pure Plot Pitch: I didn’t know—or care—much about the tight race for governor of New York until someone took a shot at one of the candidates and killed his wife instead. The main suspect, it turns out, was an anti-government crazy (and a devoted quilter—yes, you heard that right) I once did time with. Searching for the killer, hoping to stop another attack, I was suddenly sucked into the panicky heart of a closely fought election campaign, an affair with a troubled political operative and the dangerously surreal world of people who prefer casting their vote with a sniper’s bullet.

Yet another new Q&A with me
I know, I never met an interviewer I didn’t like. But this one (from the Indie Book Lounge) is the last one for a while. Promise.
Sample
Q. Did you try the traditional publishing route before going indie and if so, what was that experience like?
A: It’s like walking into a restaurant, ordering dinner, then waiting for the food to arrive. Thirty minutes go by, nothing. Forty-five minutes, an hour. Three months later the food finally gets there, only it’s not what you ordered.

I’m trying out a new marketing idea
I’ve taken the opening of my latest thriller, Dead Line, and published it as a free, self-contained short story on Goodreads and Smashwords. Title: Unspoken Words, Unanswered Questions. Response has been good so far, including a mention on Time magazine’s site, Time.com. If you haven’t read the book, or can only take me in small doses, you might enjoy this. Thanks.
