I have been a terrible correspondent lately, but I promise you, I am writing! As proof, here is the cover for the next book, Introduced to Death, which is a Jamie Brodie mystery. Yep, when I said I was done with the series, I lied. LOL. Introduced to Death is available for preorder at Amazon and, because I messed up, all of you who don’t use Amazon can get the book early! It’s now available at Smashwords, Nook, Kobo, and several other retailers. Here’s the link.

And if you’re a Kindle user or you want print, you can preorder now! Publication date is June 27.

Here’s the link for Amazon.

I am hard at work on Angeles Investigations #7, which has nearly 20K words but no title yet.

Also, Mailchimp has apparently done away with their free accounts, and I’m not paying them to produce a newsletter. I hadn’t put one out for so long anyway, I’m just going to discontinue that for now.

Here’s the blurb for Introduced to Death. Enjoy!

It’s 1997 in Oceanside, California. Jamie Brodie is turning seventeen. His grandfather hasn’t spoken to him for nearly two years, ever since Jamie came out to his family. But Jamie’s concerns are mostly centered on his grades, because it will take a near-perfect GPA to get into Berkeley. He’s busy with Advanced Placement classes; spending time with his “friend with benefits,” Robbie Harrison; and his weekend landscaping job with his best friend, Ali Fortner. 

Then Jamie and Ali find one of their elderly customers, Eugene Vasilaros, dead in his home. 

Everybody adored Mr. Vasilaros. Or so Jamie thought. As he, Ali, and Mel Hayes dig into the history of their beloved hometown, they discover how a long-simmering resentment can explode into violence.
