Prepare to Launch

It's almost February. And that means we're almost ready to launch. For readers in the U.S. -- who have been waiting a long time -- we've got four major releases in the next three months.

On February 4, my 16,000-word Stride short story "Spitting Devil" finally arrives in the U.S. Kindle store. (You can find it here.) This story revolves around a wife who's slowly being driven mad by her nightmares...and by her suspicions that her husband may really be a serial killer. The story hit #1 in the UK Kindle store...don't miss it!

On February 18, my ALL NEW Stride novella TURN TO STONE will be available in e-book and audio formats. (Click to find it on Kindle, Nook, Kobo, or Google.) This novella (half the length of a full novel!) [image error]takes place in the days immediately before THE COLD NOWHERE as Stride is driving home across rural Wisconsin on a snowy night. He stops in the small town where his mother is buried...but he becomes a witness to a terrible tragedy in that empty cemetery. And soon he is caught up in a race to prevent a horrific crime.

On March 3, my stand-alone novel SPILLED BLOOD -- which won the award for Best Hardcover Novel in the 2013 Thriller Awards -- finally arrives in paperback! [image error]You can pre-order the paperback edition at Amazon, BN, or Books-a-Million, or you can place your order at your local bookstore.

And then the big one! The new full-length Stride novel THE COLD NOWHERE arrives everywhere on April 1. It will be available in hardcover, e-book, and audio...and early readers have been calling it the best Stride novel yet. [image error]The book was just named a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award this past weekend, and the most recent UK review called it "one of the best American thrillers of 2013." (Pre-order THE COLD NOWHERE at Amazon, BN, Books-a-Million, or your local bookseller right now!)
