False Memory - Book Blitz and GIVEAWAY!


False Memory
Meli Raine
(False Memory, #1)
Publication date: November 15th 2018
Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense
It all started with the bereavement flowers with my name on them.
Not the best way to wake up, right? I work in a flower shop. I know a funeral arrangement when I see one.
I know a killer when I see one, too. And one is standing in my hospital room right now, straight behind the man who saved my life.
I can’t tell anyone the truth, because that’s the fastest way to really die. So I do the next best thing. I “lose” my memory.
I fake my amnesia.
Pretending not to remember a brutal attempted murder has its perks. The killer is backing down, spending less time around me, loosening the noose.
The less I claim to recall, the more my rescuer, Duff, works to help me “remember.” I hate lying to him.
But he doesn’t understand that my memory is dangerous. To me. And to him.
Fooling everyone isn’t easy. It’s the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Except it’s starting to look like I’ve been fooling myself.
In more ways than one.
Read Book 1 in the newest series from USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine.

An Autumn in Paris - Book Tour and GIVEAWAY!



An Autumn in Paris 
Alix Nichols 
Publication date: November 1st 2018
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romance

Because of Audrey Hepburn, I have foolishly…
a) bought into the whole “Paris is always a good idea” thing without any offscreen evidence,
b) uprooted my son and left my bittersweet memories behind,
c) allowed Thomas—the handsome, caring, way-out-of-my-league vet—to disrupt the humdrum life I had self-prescribed for my Broken Heart Syndrome.
Behind his easy smile and swoon-worthy pecs, Thomas conceals an open wound. No matter how hot his kisses or how genuine his affection, he’s still reeling. He can’t move on.
And I can’t risk falling for him. I have a child to raise—a preteen boy who needs his mom to be all there.
But as autumn strips the trees of their leaves, falling for Thomas is exactly what I do. Throwing caution to the wind, I dare to hope for a future with him…
…until the past comes knocking.
Can we handle it or will it break us forever?
Whether you’re a fan of timeless movies like “Sabrina” or prefer steamy contemporary romance novels, “An Autumn in Paris” has something for you to love.
Escape to Paris, and let this sweet, fun and sensual tale give you all the feels!

When a fellow Black Sheep Knitter is suspected of poisoning her coworker, the group puts down their needles and takes up their friend's defense . . .
Suzanne Cavanaugh has just about had it with her office rival at Prestige Properties. It's bad enough that Liza Devereaux is constantly needling her at work, but when she shows up at one of Suzanne’s open houses to poach potential buyers, it’s the last straw. No one in the office fails to hear the two snarling at each other.
When Liza is later found dead in her office cubicle—poisoned by a diet shake—Suzanne becomes the prime suspect. It’s soon discovered, though, that Liza had double-crossed so many around town and stashed their dark secrets in her designer handbags that anyone could be the culprit.
The Black Sheep Knitters have no doubt their friend has been framed—but they need to prove it. Stirred to action, they get together to catch a sneaky killer who's trying to pull the wool over everyone's eyes . . .

Reason to Doubt - Book Tour and Guest Post

Reason To Doubt (A Carol Childs Mystery)
by Nancy Cole Silverman

About the Book


Reason To Doubt (A Carol Childs Mystery)
Cozy Mystery
5th in Series
Henery Press (November 6, 2018)
Hardcover: 256 pages
ISBN-10: 163511425X
ISBN-13: 978-1635114256
Paperback: 256 pages
ISBN-10: 1635114225
ISBN-13: 978-1635114225
Digital ASIN: B07G9MCWWZ
Carol Childs is in the middle of one of the biggest stories of her life. Her daughter Cate has returned from college with a boyfriend in tow. A photographer who police suspect to be The Model Slayer, responsible for the murder of three young women.
Not since the Hillside Strangler has Los Angeles been so on edge.
And when the police arrest Cate’s boyfriend, Carol’s personal life and professional worlds collide. A tattooed cocktail waitress calls the radio station and asks to speak with Carol off the record. She knows the true identity of the real Model Slayer because she says she killed him.
Tensions mount as the clock ticks. The police are convinced they have the right man. Mother and daughter aren’t talking. Carol can’t reveal to investigators all she knows, and unless Carol can find the real killer before the trial begins, an innocent man may spend the rest of his life in prison or be executed for a crime he didn’t commit.

From the author:

Mothers and Daughters....


The plot for REASON TO DOUBT, the story about a young photographer who is arrested for the  murder of three young fashion models hit close to home. Loosely based on the murder of a young Hollywood model whose body was found poised and tied to a tree in the hills above my home, it was a story I couldn’t forget.
Not since the Hillside Strangler, had a crime so shook the city. Police believed the murderer to be a photographer, someone the girl had known and trusted. And their investigation included the questioning of nearly every young, male fashion photographer in town. A small, select group.  All who admitted to using the girl for various shoots. Each of them had her addresses and phone number in their Rolodexes. Including my brother in law. And when the arrest finally came down, the city breathed a collective sigh of relief.
Years later, when I was hunting around for a plot line for my next Carol Childs Mystery, I remembered thinking about the story. What if it hadn’t been a stranger the police arrested?  What if it had been someone I knew? Someone close to me?
That’s how my writer mind works. So I took Carol Childs, a reporter and single mother of two, and put her in the mix of a family crisis.  Carol’s daughter Cate has just returned from college, and like lots of young people, who come home after their first year away, she’s made new friends.  Including Pete, a young freelance photographer who has driven Cate home from school, and had been making ends meet shooting headshots for local models and wannabe actress types.
Voilà! Not only did I have the beginnings for a good murder mystery, but I had the makings for terrific subplot dealing with the growing angst between mother and daughter.  
As an author, and mother of an adult daughter, I was excited about exploring the opportunities of Carol’s relationship with Cate. It’s a pivotal time for both women. Cate has returned home after her freshman year,  confident and self-assured. A young woman in love, capable of making relationship choices of her own. And, Carol, who for the last year has been reporting on the unsolved murders of three young women, is suddenly faced with letting go of her parental role and accepting Cate’s judgment. Something she’s none too sure about.
Turn up the heat, and Pete is arrested for the murders, and the two women are pitted against one another.  Cate defending her boyfriend, and Carol reporting on the very murders for which her daughter’s boyfriend has been accused.  Add in a listener to the radio station where Carol works who calls in and tells Carol – off the record – she knows who really murdered ‘those girls,’ and we have a type of Gordian knot. The likes of which can only be unraveled by Carol.
Anger, doubt, and ultimately trust all play critical roles as each woman fights for what she believes to be true until the killer  is revealed in a final climactic scene that leaves both mother and daughter looking at each other with a new appreciation for who they are.

Thread Herrings - Book Tour and GIVEAWAY!


Thread Herrings (A Mainely Needlepoint Mystery) by Lea Wait

About the Book

Cozy Mystery 7th in Series Kensington (October 30, 2018) Mass Market Paperback: 304 pages ISBN-10: 149671671X ISBN-13: 978-1496716712 Digital ASIN: B079KSZ92D
Angie's first auction may turn out to be her last—when she bids on a coat of arms that someone would literally kill to possess . . .
Tagging along to an estate sale with her fellow Needlepointer, antiques shop owner Sarah Byrne, Angie Curtis impulsively bids on a tattered embroidery of a coat of arms. When she gets her prize back home to Haven Harbor, she discovers a document from 1757 behind the framed needlework—a claim for a child from a foundling hospital. Intrigued, Angie is determined to find the common thread between the child and the coat of arms.
Accepting her reporter friend Clem Walker's invitation to talk about her find on the local TV news, Angie makes an appeal to anyone who might have information. Instead, both women receive death threats. When Clem is found shot to death in a parking lot, Angie fears her own life may be in jeopardy. She has to unravel this historical mystery—or she may be the next one going, going . . . gone . . .

EXCERPT
Other prospective bidders were standing near me, waiting for me to move on. A middle-aged woman with short brown hair highlighted with blond took my place next to the coat of arms.
“What about the samplers?” she said to the bearded man with her.
He shook his head. “Just old stuff. Where would you hang them? I’d rather we used our share of the money to buy some good mahogany furniture, or maybe a gold-framed mirror.”
“Josie’s going to want the dining room table and chairs,” she answered. “She’s always wanted them. We don’t want to try to outbid her on those. What about Grandmother’s wedding ring china?”
“I don’t care about china. You can’t put that old stuff in the dishwasher anyway. What about the clock?” He pointed at a grandfather’s clock nearby.
“It never kept the right time. Drove me crazy.”
They moved on.
I didn’t know who they were, but they must be connected to one of the families who’d owned these furnishings. If they, or Josie, whoever she was, had wanted them, why were they being auctioned off?
A small mystery, but not one that concerned me.
I walked past several water-colored seascapes, a large oil portrait of a ringleted little girl in a blue dress holding a doll by its arm, and several framed World War I posters.
Three men were looking through a box of pictures—prints?—in a corner.
Who’d owned all these things? The parents or grandparents of that woman I’d heard talking about “Grandmother’s china”?
Once, each of these things now lined up to be sold had been chosen, had taken its place in a household, valued, and thought of with sentiment. Now, sadly, they were filling spaces in a large auction-house showroom, destined for antique shops, and, I hoped, for other homes where they’d be valued.
I almost laughed at myself for being so sentimental.
These were things, not people.

Out of Mind - Book Tour and GIVEAWAY!


Out of Mind
Maximum Exposure Book 2
by Kendall Talbot
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Adventure

A love frozen in time . . .


Holly knew the romantic helicopter ride up to the remote peak of Whisky Mountain was a bad idea. But she never expected it to snatch her fiancé from her—or destroy her life. A few fiery seconds turn a postcard-perfect morning in the Canadian Rockies into a snowy hell, thirteen thousand feet above sea level. And in the midst of grief and agony, Holly catches sight of a scene in the ice that will haunt her until she can return and discover the truth.
Oliver Nelson could see the stranger had a mystery inside her. The scars on her face, the pain in her eyes, the insistence that he teach her completely alone—no one needs to learn rock climbing, or so he thought. But the more he gets to know her, the more he admires her drive, her ingenuity, and that little edge of recklessness. If she can trust him with her story, he’s ready to follow her wherever her heart takes her. 
But nature’s deadly beauty isn’t the only danger waiting for them on Whisky Mountain. To survive, Oliver and Holly will have to move fast—and think faster . . .





Out of Reach
Maximum Exposure Book 1

In a place where a city can be lost hundreds of years . . . they can still find each other.

Lily saw the temple of Agulinta on television: a vast stone structure swallowed by the Yucatan jungle, rediscovered only now after hundreds of years. So why did the papers she found after her father’s death show the same mysterious carvings that puzzled archaeologists at Agulinta? Her search for answers pulls her to Mexico’s southern border, where the journey to the lost temple will take her through jungle and mountain, over waters home to crocodiles and drug runners, and into uncomfortably close quarters with a man whose need to wander has become a way of life . . .
Australian Carter Logan’s work as a nature photographer has given him the excuse he needs to roam wherever his restless feet take him. But in all the time he’s traveled, he’s never been drawn to anyone the way he is to this determined, cagey young American. Lily’s perseverance through dirt, sweat, and danger to the heart of the ancient temple fires through him. But when the two of them are left alone and stranded in a vicious wilderness, their connection might prove the difference between life and death . . . if the secrets of the past don’t come between them first.


**Only .99 cents!!**
