First chapter of DEAD BODIES EVERYWHERE, the latest Nicki Sosebee book

We’re less than two weeks away, my friends!  I can hardly believe it. I hope you’re as excited as I am!

I write a lot of series that have standalone books.  What I mean is that, for example, Everything But is appreciated a whole lot more when you read Tangled Web first, but you won’t be completely lost if you read them out of order.  My Nicki books are not like that.  For instance, you might enjoy any one of the books between Got the Life and Lies, but you’re not going to fully appreciate what’s going on–and you might be lost when it comes to some of the plot points.  That wasn’t my complete intention when I started the series (envisioning at the outset that Nicki would be much like a modern-day adult version of Nancy Drew), but it soon became clear that it was the direction I was heading in.  Unlike a series like Nancy Drew, Nicki grows and learns and changes as she goes, and past events influence present situations.  If you’ve read the books, then you know what I mean, and the deeper you get in the series, the more evident it becomes.

I bring that up because I don’t think the first chapter of the latest installment will entice you if you haven’t read the other books.  I don’t think it will hurt anything for you to read it (no huge spoilers!), though, so don’t let me stop you if you’re curious anyway.

The Annual Autism Awareness Auction

I don’t talk about it much, but some of you might know that I have a son who’s autistic.  What’s sad is we didn’t know it for years.  We knew he was “different,” but we didn’t quite know how to parent that little guy.  We made a lot of missteps along the way, but when we–with the help of professionals–confirmed he was autistic, everything changed.  He’s a beautiful, wonderful soul who has made my life richer, and I’m grateful that he’s my son.

But we had lots of challenges getting here, challenges that I think would have been mitigated by knowing he was autistic, and that’s why I’m proud to support the 5th Annual Autism Awareness Auction sponsored by TTC Books and More.  All proceeds go to support autism awareness.  My hope is that there are other parents who will learn what makes their child beautiful and special long before I did.

Want to get in on the action?  You can!

Special Bonus with Pre-orders (Psst! Are you ready for Nicki #11?)

Some of you have been waiting (as patiently as possible) for the next installment in the Nicki Sosebee series.  I’m happy to announce that it is almost here! Dead Bodies Everywhere, Nicki Sosebee #11, will release on May 19, 2017, and I’m excited to share it with you.  After this book, there are two books to go, so you’ll notice in this book that things are getting tense and twisted and…but enough about that.  You’ll have to wait to read it.  In the coming weeks, I’ll be sharing a snippet or two with you and probably doing some fun things on Facebook (some of my readers there have been asking me to do a live video) to prepare.

First…what’s in store for Nicki this go-round?

Nicki Sosebee is getting closer to something. She just doesn’t know what.

Nicki’s sleepy hometown of Winchester, Colorado, is the kind of place that deals with two or three deaths a year, not two or three a month, but a serial killer is brutally murdering young adults in the most gruesome ways. With the help of her friend, investigative blogger Janice Breaker, Nicki feels like they’re on the verge of solving the mystery. Instead, she discovers that the corruption in her town reaches far and wide. As she gets closer to discovering the answer to all the dead bodies in her beloved town, she has to decide if she needs to stick to her guns or if it’s better to walk away and leave the headline for another day…

Next, where can you get this baby?  I’ve got your pre-order links right here:

Amazon CA 

Amazon AU 

Barnes & Noble

Kobo 

Google Play

So what’s the pre-order bonus?  And how do you get it?

Well…the pre-order bonus is a fun little file written by Nathan Wright, detective with the Winchester Police Department–it’s a dossier he’s called “The Drug Problem in Winchester County,” and he’s written it for his bosses.  It gives his opinions and assessments of the plague of drug-related crime in his fair city, and he gives details about the folks involved, ranging from Nicki to the nefarious Cecil Montgomery and everyone in between.  And this dossier is available ONLY to folks who pre-order the book.  If you’re a huge Nicki fan, I know you’re going to get a kick out of this.  Here’s how you can get your copy:

Pre-order Dead Bodies Everywhere (see links above)
If you do not have a receipt, screen cap relevant info
Forward proof of purchase to the following email:

You will receive your dossier in less than 48 hours!

Oh…one last fun thing.  If you want to know who your Nicki book boyfriend should be, you’ll want to take this quiz on Playbuzz:  Which Nicki Sosebee boyfriend is right for you?

Wait…what?!  You haven’t read Nicki yet?  Well…we can remedy that.  Here are some quick links for ya:

Extra BULLET stories you might not know about…

Can you believe Bullet turned four last month?  CRAZY!  Like a kid, the books grow up too quickly too. 

Next on my agenda (What I’ll be writing next!)

A couple of weeks ago, I asked readers to let me know what they thought I should write next.  I’ve been quite busy with different projects but knew I would be free and wanted to know what you, my readers, wanted next.  I have several series that aren’t finished but I also have a lot of standalones (or possibly new series) that I want to write–more than thirty projects on my plate–so why not write what you want?  Here were the possibilities I gave readers who took the survey (there are more projects but these are the ones either calling my name at the moment or ones I think are long overdue):

NICKI #12 – This will be the second-to-last Nicki book.  Something HUGE will be happening in this book as it races closer to the conclusion.  Danger, suspense, intrigue–everything you love about Nicki X 10!!!

FEVERISH #2 – This is going to be Sam’s story.  You might not think he HAS a story, considering he has a psycho girlfriend…but, yeah, he does.
