Giveaway - Web Of Lies
I am running a Goodreads Giveaway for USA residents for your chance to win one of my digital romantic suspense novels, Web Of Lies.
I was inspired to write this story after reading about a real serial killer who was committing crimes in the 1970s and 1980s. I created a story around his crimes and enjoyed getting to know the characters who fought against him until the very end, risking their lives and those of others.
I enjoyed writing about the love developing between my female character, Jamie who is a doctor and my male detective character, Angelo
The tagline is - A gifted doctor. A caring detective. A chance to capture a serial killer, hell-bent on destroying them.
Good luck with the Giveaway.

In Rio's Shadows
My fascination with the Latin American culture led me to writing a romantic suspense book set in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
The book is out on all online retailers, including Amazon, Barnes and Noble, Apple, and Kobo.
Here is the blurb to whet your appetite:
Romance and terror in a tropical paradise.
Sun, sand, surf. How could Blanca Castellano turn down the offer of a promotion to beautiful Rio de Janeiro—especially when it’s a step up in her career in Madrid?
The job is a dream come true. A promotion, a new culture to explore, great colleagues to work with, including a sexy photographer named Carlos. There’s also a chance to make a name for herself by exposing a powerful story: child sex exploitation in Rio’s poverty-stricken neighbourhoods.
But the return to Rio also means the return of nightmares from Blanca’s childhood—nightmares that began after her first trip to Rio, as a child with her parents on vacation.
As Blanca and Carlos investigate child exploitation in Rio, the shadows of Blanca’s nightmares become dark memories of something she cannot yet understand. Shadows of Carlos’s past, too, stalk them—until they become a terrifying and dangerous reality. Together, Blanca and Carlos must learn the identity of a murderous puppet master.
If you like raw emotions and a plot that twists and turns from the beach of Ipanema through the sordid favelas and the soaring luxury of Leblon, you won’t be able to stop turning the pages in Lucy Appadoo’s first book, In Rio’s Shadows from the Women Of Strength Series.
