Hi, everyone. I have some fun things for you this time: not one, but two stories each under a dollar, and I could use your help figuring out a new cover for one of my books... 
Find out what happens next here .















Little Molly Messenger is kidnapped on a sunny June morning. Three days later she’s returned, apparently unharmed. A few days later, the brakes go out on Molly’s mother’s car.An accident? Maybe. Except that it turns out that Chris, Molly’s mother, is the IT manager at a large Chicago bank and may have misappropriated three million dollars. Molly’s father hires PI Georgia Davis to follow the money and investigate Chris’s death.Doubleback reunites PI Georgia Davis (Easy Innocence) with video producer Ellie Foreman (An Eye For Murder, A Picture Of Guilt, An Image Of Death, A Shot To Die For). The two women track leads from Northern Wisconsin to an Arizona border town, where illegal immigrants, muggled drugs, and an independent contractor come into play.

















Imagine if your spouse 
got caught n a Ponzi scheme. 
This story is about just that: two women whose husbands are involved in a fraudulent investment operation. The couples vacation at a posh ski resort, where the women take matters into 
their own hands. 
Publishers Weekly called it “a fine story…”
This story was originally published in The Writes of Spring Anthology, Nodin Press, 2012, edited by Pat Frovarp and Gary Shulze.  
Discover how the story unfolds at  Amazon ,   B&N ,  iBooks , and Kobo.

Help a Graphically-Challenged Author Out?theMost of you already have the complimentary copy of An Image of Death I sent out a month or so ago. (If not, let me know, and I'll get it to you.)

Well... we now realize the cover looks too sweet and not enough like the thriller crime novel it is.

Have any suggestions for me? I'd love to hear them!  
Just email me back, or join the conversation on my Facebook video  here .   Finally, if you are Bouchercon-bound this fall, two of my works are eligible to be nominated for an Anthony Award (the deadline for nominations is in 2 weeks): 
--  Nobody's Child is eligible for Best Paperback Original 
-- "No Good Deed," about the unlikely friendship between a former KKK member and a young black boy in prison, is eligible for Best Short Story. It was published in the Fiction River Special Crime Edition, WGM       Publishing. If you'd like to read the story, let me know. I'll get it to you. 

Happy reading!

Warmly,

Libby
