January 2007

Dear Readers,

I hope you and your loved ones have begun the New Year with great success and joy. I’m very excited to get 2007 underway, since with it comes the back-to-back releases of my two romantic thrillers featuring NYPD-Detective-turned-PI Pete “Monty” Montgomery, and the whole Montgomery clan. In my previous newsletter, I introduced you to the Montgomerys, who you then met through the hardcover release of WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME.

Now, for those of you who missed Monty and his clan in hardcover, you can still enjoy seeing his great detective skills at work when the mass market paperback version of WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME hits bookshelves everywhere on 2/27/07. Here’s a quick summary of the book to pique your interest:

Sometimes bad things happen to good people...

WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME, bolts out of the starting gate and right into the "winner-takes-all" world of competitive horse show-jumping, with a tale of murder and suspense -- where the wealthy and powerful Pierson family clashes with the middle-class, tight-knit Montgomerys -- Monty, his grown daughter Devon, and his missing-and-suspect ex-wife Sally.

Devon has her father’s cop instincts. Her investigation lures her closer to a dark Pierson family secret -- a secret the Piersons will do anything to protect. Time is running out. Danger is closing in. And Devon must prove Sally’s innocence fast -- or become the killer’s next target.

And you won’t have long to wait for the next Montgomery thriller. On 3/27/07, the hardcover edition of DARK ROOM will be released with Monty back in action, investigating a second close-to-home homicide. Here’s a summary:

The nightmare is back...

DARK ROOM opens in the tormented dreams of Morgan Winter. Haunted by the past, Morgan has never been the same since that dark Christmas Eve when, as a child, she discovered the bodies of her brutally murdered parents. Now 17 years later, the nightmare resurfaces when she learns that the wrong man was convicted. The real killer is still at large and has been for all this time – silently watching her from the shadows, making sure a dark secret is never revealed.

But now, Morgan’s determination to uncover the truth and escape from the darkness which envelopes her heart compels her to hire the one man she trusts to get at that truth -- Monty Montgomery -- who was the lead detective on the double-homicide that claimed her parents’ lives. His ensuing investigation threatens to expose the real killer and the dark secret that has been silenced all these years -- endangering not only Morgan’s state of mind but her very life.

I hope these summaries have made you as eager and impatient as I am for the releases of WRONG PLACE, WRONG TIME and DARK ROOM. Fortunately, we don’t have long to wait -- February and March are right around the corner!
