Hi Rebecca,Thanks for befriending this mystery author on Goodreads! Looks like we're both going to have a release about the same time--my Deadly Currents book comes out in March, 2011. I hope you'll put my existing books, A Real Basket Case and To Hell in a Handbasket, on your to-read list. If you'd like to enter a contest for a free copy of To Hell in a Handbasket, sign up for my email newsletter at: http://bethgroundwater.com/ .
