There are many things simmering in the fire lately.  As the clock ticks away, I’ve tried to stop that annoying second hand for just a while – but to no avail.  I’m deep into outlines for my next two books, one Emily Stone Thriller and a new crime series that I’ve been having quite a bit of fun with too.  I will have more details later on to share with you.

First up:

DEAD BURN has been chosen as one of six finalists for the FICTION/ACTION category in the 2013 International Book Award Contest: Readers’ Favorite.  I’m still smiling and very excited.  I was told that the competition was fierce with a huge amount entrants from large publishers to the independent crowd.  It means so much to me that EMILY STONE held her own in the ACTION category with the boys.  The gold, silver, and bronze award winners will be announced on September 1^st.  Thank you Readers’ Favorite for including me in the process!

Second:

DEAD BURN will be available in paperback soon and available online as well as at your local bookstores!  I will post an update when it’s available for purchase, information about participating giveaways, and how to receive an autographed copy.

Third:

Coming Soon – I will have several free computer wallpapers from my own photography collection as well as cool EMILY STONE/book images for you to download.  I will post an update when these images are available, along with something personal from each of the EMILY STONE supporting characters that will tempt your hunger.

One of the reasons I decided to maintain a blog is that I wanted to share interesting and perhaps little known information about crime scene investigation, criminal psychology, and serial killers.  In addition, I’ve shared writing insights and part of my writing journey.  I’ve enjoyed this process immensely and I have many more articles scheduled.

Thank you for everyone who has stopped by for a visit, searched articles, followed, and left comments.  I would love to hear from you.  What types of articles would interest you the most from the above categories?
