Oh my! You should ask that question over in the authors' corner. You'll find a lot of books coming out over there.

Sunny - My second novel in the Major Crime Task Force series, entitled Right To Bear Arms, is due out prior to Christmas. The first in the series, A Choice of Darkness, remains a 5-star read at Amazon and 4.8 here on Goodreads. Let me know if you would like additional information.

The Dec column is already gone. I'll slip it into the Jan. column, okay?

GUT-CHECK GREEN weaves murder, mayhem, veteran’s issues, drug dependence and an evil agro-business company into a prescient read. He has a sparse writing style and the story really moves. Bottom line, this is a great read.

Sunny, I think I'm going to move this thread to "In the Press, Blogs and Websites." It's much more appropriate there. I'll wait to see that you got this message, then do the move. Thanks!

Thanks for getting back to me. Over Christmas I think I'm going to fix that entire folder so it's not so crowded.

to our authors: no sales links here, please. A goodreads link is totally okay -- sales links should go into the new "all things promotional" folder either in Advertisements or a separate thread you start for your book. Thanks!

Hi, folks. I had the honor of flying with the Air National Guard in Iraq and Afghanistan, and that experience helped inspire the series of novels that I write for Putnam. My newest novel, Sand and Fire, came out in hardcover last July, and it comes your way in paperback in June 2015. The next in the series, The Hunters, will be released in July 2015. These novels are military thrillers set in the present day. The series began with The Mullah's Storm in 2010, followed by Silent Enemy in 2011, The Renegades in 2012, and The Warriors in 2013.

I've been waiting and waiting to publish Targeted, the third book in my Ray Schiller Series. It's only a question of getting it back from my very pokey formatter. I'm more than excited that it's so close to publication because it's Ray Schiller's most harrowing case yet.

My book is being released August 11th, 2015! Titled 'The Throne of David' If anyone is interested here is my author site: http://annfarnsworth.com/ Any advice?

Hi Nancy,

Hi Sunny,
How time flies when we're having fun! I checked my last post here (above) and saw my most recent mystery/suspense/thriller novel was published afterward. That's Family Affairs, #6 in the "Detectives Chen and Castilblanco Series." Family is the theme, but you have to define it broadly.
I'm also planning to publish a SECOND EDITION of The Midas Bomb, #1 in the series, which is completely rewritten, re-edited, and readjusted in price to be in line with other ebooks in the series.
I'm open to sending reviewers a freebie in return for an honest review. I'm also open to doing an interview about the entire series.

My third Cooch national-security thriller, Pulse, is being republished by Greenleaf and out in bookstores on January 4,2016. Look for it in the airport.

Pulse was a finalist in the International Book Awards thriller category. It's Middle East stories with a Clancy-esque feel. Iran gets a nuke. A Seal, a badder-ass, a sniper and a stunning blond physics genius combine and conspire to convince Iran to make nice. Fabulous backstory in education of the masses.


The Kindle version is up.

Peach Publishing are publishing the second in my Leksin thriller series Corruption of Power this week.

Synopsis: Independent troubleshooter, Alex Leksin, is recruited by President Karpev when the plan to reduce Russia’s reliance on an ever more hostile Europe is put at risk. The President’s strategy is to shift the markets for his country’s energy to the East. Failure could mean catastrophe. Against a background of political corruption, state-sponsored terrorism and increased Taliban insurgency, Leksin’s investigations take him from Moscow to Turkmenistan, one of the world's most sinister countries, right at the heart of Central Asia. Wherever Leksin goes, someone tries to kill him; people in a position to help him are assassinated; and information turns out to be misinformation. And when at last he discovers the truth, he’s no longer sure whom he can trust.

My book released today: Too Pretty to Live - The Catfishing Murders of East Tennessee. I'm one of the prosecutors who brought a double murder to trial, trying two women who persuaded two men to enter a home and kill a young couple. It's a story of master manipulation with one of the women posing as an online CIA agent, conning three others into doing her bidding against her enemies. It's an unbelievable story, but true. It's available on all online retailers.

Also, on Saturday Feb. 13 at 9 p.m. EST, Investigation Discovery will broadcast a show of the same name that was prepared in conjunction with the book. Give it a look.

My book, Sherlock Holmes and the Adventure of the Paper Journal, is available to pre-order on Amazon, iTunes, Kobo and Barnes & Noble.

What if every event in your life from the profoundly meaningful to the numbingly mundane were scrupulously recorded and readily available for all to see? What if with a click anyone could know your bank balance, what medications you are taking, and the contents of your last performance review at work? In such a world, what would there be left for Sherlock Holmes to deduce?

Hello! My second novel, The Lover's Portrait: An Art Mystery is now available as Pre-Order for $2.99 ($3.99 as of July 1, 2016) via Amazon, Kobo, Barnes & Noble and Apple iTunes. Order now and save a buck! It will be published on June 24th as eBook and paperback.
Description:
When a homosexual Dutch art dealer hides his gallery’s stock rather than turn it over to his Nazi blackmailer, he pays with his life, leaving a treasure trove of modern masterpieces buried somewhere in Amsterdam, presumably lost forever. That is, until American art history student Zelda Richardson sticks her nose into it.

After studying for a year in the Netherlands, Zelda scores an internship at the prestigious Amsterdam Museum, where she works on an exhibition about paintings and sculptures once stolen by the Nazis, still lying unclaimed in Dutch museum depots almost seventy years later. When two women claim the same painting, the portrait of a young girl entitled Irises, Zelda is tasked with investigating the painting’s history and quickly finds evidence that one of the two women must be lying about her past. Before she can figure out which one it is and why, Zelda learns about the Dutch art dealer’s concealed collection. And that Irises is the key to finding it all.

Her discoveries make her a target of someone willing to steal – and even kill – to find the missing paintings. As the list of suspects grows, Zelda realizes she has to track down the lost collection and unmask a killer if she wants to survive.

Doing a giveaway of my latest, "The Bad Canadian". Meantime, always skulking about for the next great read.

Hi I released my EBook, "The Only GOOD Terrorist...' late in October. It's the third in my 'ThiefTaker' series. Each of them are stand-alone novels, but they all feature the same two Australian Police Detectives tracking criminal and violent gun battles etc.

In THE ICE CREAM BLONDE, York Brothers Studio security chief Neil Brand solves the murder of a famous movie star, whose public personal is a far cry from his real life,The Naked Nymph in the Dark Flicker: A Neil Brand ThrillerRay Dyson in which he is mixed up in murder, blackmail and white slavery. In the just-released NAKED NYMPH IN THE DARK FLICKERS, Brand tries to protect the career of a rising young star who is caught up in a treacherous blackmail scheme that turns to murder.

David Swatling of Big Thrill magazine said in part: Hollywood 1931. A place where bulls interrogate frails, and dewdroppers hang around waiting for their big break. A place where finishing a movie can take precedent over blackmail or even murder. These are some of the challenges that face film studio security chief Neil Brand, ex-cop and former stuntman, in Ray Dyson’s THE NAKED NYMPH IN THE DARK FLICKERS. This hard-boiled crime story is a dazzling mix of noir and Hollywood history, told with the gritty light and shade of a classic black-and-white motion picture.

Hi...I see this post and it's now April 25, 2017 and was wondering if you still need Cozy Mysteries to review? I do have Danni Girl Mysteries The Complete Series that has just come out about a month ago.

JACK SPRAT COULD will be my 13th published romantic suspense novel. It is coming from The Wild Rose Press. I don't yet have a release date.

MEMORY, my 12th published romantic suspense novel was released by the Wild Rose Press on March 8 in both print and e-book formats.

My début crime novel, Ultimate Principle - introducing DCI Lane Rivers - is now out! It has been a long journey but me and Lane. It's available on Amazon. Please do check it out and let me know what you think.

The job is brutal. It sucks every ounce of life out of you.

The deafening sound of chaos and confusion met Detective Chief Inspector Lane Rivers as she arrived at the crime scene. The brutal murder of a popular Italian restaurant owner shocks the London community. Lane and her team at Scotland Yard find themselves in a vortex of deception and bloodshed.

The victim led an unblemished life: perfect wife, successful business, financially secure. Everybody admired him. But is everything as perfect as it seems?

The investigation progresses, unveiling disturbing secrets – secrets that someone is willing to kill for. But with little evidence and no clear motive, Lane struggles to make headway. Her frustration is further complicated by external factors, forcing her to confront her own recent grief and vulnerabilities.

Magda Gering has just returned from a cruise with her husband, Micah - but now a widow, minus that same Micah, and with an idea that would make life so much better and more comfortable for her friends: women she's known since high school. It's not a new idea. It's even been the subject of a famous movie. But so simple that even a bunch of old ladies living in a small town can do it. At least they should talk about it. Which is why Magda has called this meeting....

A parable about the dangers of underestimating some people, inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train".

Full text - either electronic or a traditional paperback - available exclusively at Amazon.

I'm presently trying to get my finished novel--Murder, Vampires and Leprechauns--published. So far--no luck!

Releasing August 27th on Amazon - Two Dirty For D.C. book #2 of the Washington D.C. series by award winning and best selling author J Russ Briley. This thriller series scores with espionage, conspiracy, and political thriller fans. Likened to the styling of early Tom Clancy, the books feature "current day futurism", things that could happen right now and we are failing to prevent it.

What is it about?

Five Soviet grain irradiators filled with Cesium 137 have been smuggled out of Kazakhstan. A CIA agent finds them on a Venezuelan freighter but is discovered before he can report their destination. A Russian mastermind has infiltrated factions of the US government and is plotting to smuggle the irradiators into the country in a way no one expects. His dirty bombs will put countless Americans at risk for radiation poisoning, and slow, painful deaths. Robert Carlton, the US Deputy Attorney General, and Lt. Col. Grady Barlow realize, too late, that their actions have helped the Russian and his wealthy investors. Time is running out. They must risk everything to stop the Russian from detonating his bombs.

You can read it alone or read book #1 first.

One Man Two Votes

Swept into the exploding, sleazy side of Washington politics, Robert Carlton has become a target. There is no option to walk away. Every agency has been infiltrated. He must find the killers behind this conspiracy, or watch his friends become its victims. Weaving past corrupt politicians, ruthless NSA operatives, and destruction of the nation’s democratic system, Robert’s family, career, and friends land in the crossfire.

Either way, lovers of Clancy, Baldacci, or Flynn are in for a thrilling ride.

Coming soon. My book The Heart of Stone.
This book is a thriller about an Israeli sniper by the name of David Stone.
David is thrust into several hotspots presented by today's top news. This includes the Iranian nuclear threat as well as ISIS terrorism. Along with the heroics come intriguing personal relationships that add psychological insight and demonstrate the resilience of the human spirit.

JACK SPRAT COULD was released August 25 in print and electronic formats. It's true, the young groom, Leland Jack Sprat, gourmet cooked for his wealthy older bride, indulging and encouraging her to pack on pounds. He liked to cook. She liked to eat. They were consenting adults. Her broken tibia is the problem. Who knew emboli released from the broken bone would cause death? Police can't help. Gray Wheeler, a marginal detective, and socialite MaryBeth Gilland are hired to prove Jack murdered his bride. Her sister is certain. There's a big bonus in it, but they aren't the only ones who will benefit if Jack is blamed.

Two Dirty For D.C.

Hi Everyone

My latest novel "Death Duties" has just been released as an eBook, and is free via kindleunlimited and KOLL.

Death Duties

Alice Blacklaws thought she knew Nathan Kingsley.

A talented sportsman, an honest businessman, and a doting fiancé, he’d loved and cherished both Alice and her daughter Olivia long before they decided to tie the knot. But when someone pays a contract killer to shoot Nathan dead on the steps of a provincial hotel, and his devious brother Luke tries to disinherit the grieving Alice of everything Nathan had ever done for her … well, maybe it’s time for Alice to think again.

When Rose Bennett is asked to liaise with the dead man’s family on behalf of the East & Northern Bank, she isn’t sure what she’ll uncover. If a customer dies in suspicious circumstances, and his accounts suggest signs of financial irregularity, you can never be sure of the fall out. But as she attempts to untangle Nathan’s twisted financial affairs, a pattern begins to emerge.

Nathan Kingsley was keeping secrets, secrets someone wanted him to carry to the grave. And as those secrets are revealed, and danger comes ever closer to Alice and to Luke, Rose finds herself facing the very worst kind of killer, a killer without a conscience.

For the man who killed Nathan Kingsley, compassion is nothing, if the price is right. And duty is just a business obligation, to deliver death to order for whoever is paying the bill.

Hi All, my latest murder mystery, The Bad Sister, is just out (Joffe Books). It's the second in a series set in Norfolk and featuring DI Sam Clayton.

Clayton is called to a murder scene in Holt, not expecting to find his estranged sister at the scene. Her husband, Henry Lambton, has been murdered. Clayton is taken off the case and DS Julie Everett continues the investigation.

Clayton focuses on a vicious arson attack in Norwich. The fire killed a Polish family in their home. It seems to be part of a series of racist attacks connected to an extremist group.

The two crimes stretch the team and both come dangerously close to home. And can Clayton forgive his sister for what happened over twenty years ago?

In a thrilling conclusion, they race against time to prevent more attacks and get justice for their loved and not so loved ones.

My thriller Varho: The Hong Kong Dark was released last week.

Lucius is a rich man of privilege in a city that celebrates it but with Hong Kong in the throes of a popular rebellion he begins to question what he stands for and who he is. A series of unsolved murders grip the city as an unknown drug hits the streets and stresses the police to braking point.

Against this background of turmoil Lucius descends into a darkness of violence and uncertainty. There are those that try to give him help if he would accept it but can they be trusted?



Varho: The Hong Kong Dark is available in ebook and trade paperback worldwide.

The third of the DS Pete Gayle novels, No Way Home, is due out on the 1st of November. With the second in the series, No Place to Hide, having reached Number 1 in the Crime and Thriller, Trad British genre on Kobo a few weeks ago and pre-sales for the new one going well on Amazon, I am hoping for good things.

My second mystery in the Trisha Carson series, Drop Dead Red, was released through IngramSpark in September 2017. It is both ebook and softback. It is set in the exciting San Francisco Bay area: from the tree lined streets of Marin County, to the fan favorite AT&T Park, home of the San Francisco Giants to the stately parks in the East Bay with their swimmable lakes. Both editions are here on Goodreads (somewhere.)

I’m hoping you are willing to try 10 pages of a new book – just 10 pages.

Hi All!

The first of my Creature X Mystery series is out now for Kindle, and will be available for Kobo and IBooks in December.

Roanoke Ridge: A Creature X Mystery


"BRILLIANT...indeed an excellent book."

-- Maureen Jennings, author of THE MURDOCH MYSTERY SERIES

"A fun, engaging read, written with lots of informed insider insight on a fascinating field -- and with some neat cameos from the real world of sasquatch research and investigation."

-- Dr. Darren Naish, zoologist and author based at the University of South Hampton, UK

"With Roanoke Ridge, J.J. Dupuis gives us a mystery centering around that primal human need to believe that something is out there. And here that something is, of course, a seven-foot tall, stinking man-ape. The book is mischievous, zany, and fast-paced, and it skewers our pop-culture lust the whole way through."

-- Jeff Parker, author of WHERE BEARS ROAM THE STREETS and OVENMAN
