Little Boy Blu – Under Contract!

(Concept Cover)

I signed a new contract this week for my psychological thriller, Little Boy Blu!  The Crimson Rose imprint of The Wild Rose Press is adding this novel to their mystery and suspense list. I’m absolutely thrilled to be part of this award winning group!

I’m often asked which of my novels is my favorite. The question always comes as an apology, as though having one is as wicked as selecting a favorite child. Thankfully, books are much simpler than children and we’re definitely allowed to pick favorites–even if they change from year to year. My absolute favorite is whichever novel I’m currently working on. It has to be, otherwise how could a writer continue the work? And then Little Boy Blu holds the next favorite spot on my list because of the questions it demanded I ask not only about the human race as a whole but about myself.

The premise:

In order to secure a reality television show, Layla Stacy intentionally has children with a genetic abnormality that causes blue skin. The children are raised in isolation in the Appalachian Mountains where someone is trying to kill the only white child in the family, eighteen year-old, Blu Stacy.

This novel is edgy and dark, but from the voice of a young man who is searching for truth in his family, the world, and himself. And best of all, the condition that causes blue skin is real, making this fictional novel wildly possible.

Read an excerpt from the novel here, or learn more about the condition that causes blue skin, methemoglobinemia, here.

As soon as the release date is etched in stone, I’ll share more details!
