Five weeks to go until VULNERABLE! Which means it’s time for the third Grab Bag Giveaway in our seven week countdown to publication date. Here’s a share that brings us inside Forensic Specialist Georgia Morgan’s head as she works a crime scene.
Georgia did her best to consider dead bodies as evidence to be studied. But when the victim was young, as this girl had been, it was difficult to not look behind the ravages of death and see a sweet young girl brutally robbed of her life.
A heaviness settled in her chest and, for a moment, she didn’t move as she sat quietly by the girl, her gloved hand resting on the lifeless arm. As she sat, she glanced over at the three waxy puddles that had illuminated the cave. Why the candles? Had the killer used them to light up his little cave of horrors? Tears burned in the back of her throat. “I swear, I’ll find out who did this.”
“Talking to yourself?” Jake asked.
“I talk to dead people,” she said. “Didn’t you know that?”
I hope you enjoyed the above sneak peek celebrating the third “romantic suspense weekend” in my Countdown to VULNERABLE. Ready to read more? Here’s a longer excerpt. And please don’t forget to enter for a chance to win a Grab Bag of my titles.
I’m celebrating! Cover Your Eyes, the first of my books to be set Nashville, has just been released. I love having “Music City” as my setting, probably because I was impressed from my very first visit a couple of years ago for the Killer Nashville conference. So now it’s the hometown of my homicide detective Deke Morgan who is about to be embroiled in the deaths of two singers–one from the past, one just passed. He may have been as surprised as I was when fists began flying early on (literally) in Cover Your Eyes, facilitating the beginning of his love-hate relationship with lawyer and activist Rachel Wainwright.
So, as I’m strolling around Nashville, exploring Lower Broadway (how much fun!) and picking up a cold lunch at Mike’s Ice Cream, the aforementioned Deke and Rachel are completely unaware that I am planning an amazing amount of trouble for them, including more killings and a couple of close calls that eveb I didn’t see coming.
Please join me in Nashville. While the populace may not appreciate my bringing killers to their city, I can’t say enough wonderful things about their town and all there is to do and see there. If you can, drop by and join the conversations on my blog, Facebook, Twitter and Google+ and check out the excerpt on my site. I look forward to hearing from you.
