My new novel, Finding AJ, is now available on Amazon. I'm also starting an email list, something I should have done a long time ago (details below). As for Finding AJ, I haven't advertised it yet and don't plan to until sometime in July after I've collected some reviews. For those who are on my ARC list, I'll be connecting with you in the coming week and arranging a free copy for you. I wouldn't mind adding a few more members (maybe 5 or so) to my ARC list. If you're reading this blog and are interested in joining my ARC list, message me here on Goodreads.

Here's the description for Finding AJ:

The world has fallen apart, the FBI gone, but former Agent Jules Vandevelde won’t stop. She can’t. She’s driven to find the psychopathic serial killer known as the Calligrapher.

Her search leads her to the small town of Gideon in Southern Utah. There, amongst the 116 survivors, a serial killer hides in plain sight. There’s only one clue to his identity. Using a scalpel, he inscribes the letters AJ into the abdominal area of his victims -- postmortem -- in an ancient Chinese text called Tsao, the lettering precise and artistic.

Jules knows the key to finding the Calligrapher lies in discovering the identity of AJ. If she can find AJ, she can find the Calligrapher. But the Calligrapher knows who Jules is. Jules must survive the infected and find the Calligrapher before she becomes his latest victim.
Ah, the newsletter

I've been remiss in not having a newsletter. I will admit that when it comes to social media (in relationship to my books) and selling myself and my books, I've been missing in action. I'm going to do my best to change that dynamic. And to start with, I'm going to pen a newsletter (maybe eight or so newsletters a year). Here are a few reasons you might want to join my newsletter list:

1. When I place my books on discount, you'll be the first to hear about it (a week in advance, the day before, and the day of).

2. About three times a year, I will hold giveaways for my books. Only newsletter members will be eligible.

3. You'll receive exclusive sneak peeks of chapters of the book I'm currently working on.

4. From time to time, I might ask for some feedback on book ideas that I have.

If you're interested in joining my newsletter mailing list, you can do so here -- http://russmelrose.com/newsletter/

Thanks. Russ
