Katerina Carter Color of Money Mysteries
Blue Moon, the latest in the Katerina Carter Color of Money series is now out!The Katerina Carter Color of Money series features the same characters as my bestselling Katerina Carter Fraud Thriller series with a few key differences. The new series is shorter works (short story to novella length) involving Kat’s life outside of work. Kat still finds plenty of trouble in her spare time, and I see no shortage of future situations for Kat, Jace, and of course, Uncle Harry.
These eBooks make great shorter reads for your smartphone, tablet or eReader when you have 1 or 2 hours to spare. You can link to ebook retailers here on my website or just search under my name at your favorite ebook retailer. They are standalone and can be read in any order.
Here’s more about the first two books in the series:
Red Handed (Katerina Carter Color of Money #1)
When Katerina Carter and boyfriend Jace Burton accept an impromptu party invitation, crime is the last thing on their minds. Then a winning wine investment leaves a sour taste in Kat’s mouth and she unravels the clues to a million-dollar wine mystery, all before dinner!

Kat and boyfriend Jace’s plans for a fancy dinner go awry when she discovers that her elderly neighbor Fiona has taken an ex-con into her home as a boarder. Fiona’s volunteer gardening program at the local prison has changed lives, but extending her generosity further just might put her own life in jeopardy.
Kat’s suspicion deepens when she learns of a recent life insurance policy. And accidental death pays double.
I hope you enjoy reading these mysteries. I'm busy working on book #3 in each of the series, so stay tuned!

Just Released! Anatomy of a Ponzi
It's official! Anatomy of a Ponzi - Scams Past and Present is released. Find it on Amazon, iBooks and other sellers. You can find more details on my blog at http://www.colleencross.com, or check out the Goodreads giveaway on right now.
This is a bit of a departure from my Katerina Carter Fraud Thriller series, although the subject matter is the same.
Anatomy of a Ponzi is filled with true stories of fraudsters, and tips for you so you don't become a victim.
It's truly amazing how history always repeats, and we still fall victim to the same schemes over and over.
While I don't ever want to see another Ponzi scheme, I'm sure there are many operating right now, undetected. I'm so confident of spotting these frauds that I picked the exact date of the next big one that will eclipse Madoff's fraud...it's in my book!
