Important Update, August 2019

PROOFS ARRIVED FOR THE PAPERBACK!
BIG, BEAUTIFUL PROOFS!

What a great day it was this past Friday when I opened the box and found ten of these inside! It's always a special moment when you can hold a book in your hands, fan the pages and smell the ink and paper!

But even better, it's always an electric feeling to think of where this wild ride of a story goes! OMG!

Please remember that the KINDLE EDITION is already available for pre-order and will be delivered to your devices on Thursday, Oct 3rd.

The PAPERBACK edition is all set and even loaded on Amazon's website, but can't be listed and won't be available for purchase until the 3rd.

Amazon Announces Big Sale!
I was up on Facebook when I saw this ad. Amazon, (without me even asking (begging?!)), has cut prices FOR THE REST OF AUGUST!  The Kindle price for the first two Detective Matt Jones Thrillers, City of Echoes and The Love Killings, is reduced to only $0.99 each until the day ends on August 31st. With The Girl Buried in the Woods (Book 3) coming out on October 3rd, the timing couldn't be more perfect! This is a great deal! Much thanks goes to Amazon for doing this wonderful summer book sale!

What's Next?


We're working on the possibility of creating a pdf file of the first chapter that readers can download from my website for free. I've never done this before, but have to say that The Girl Buried in the Woods opens with what I think is the best first chapter I've ever written, especially in terms of setting the mood for the story, and letting readers see for themselves the wear and tear Matt has experienced over the first two thrillers. Unlike detective stories, thrillers are very personal stories. And Matt's paid a heavy price in his rookie year as a homicide detective. Considering the fact the these three books only cover three months in Matt's life, he's lucky to have survived! As a reader sent me in an email the other day, "We are, too!"
 

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Author's Note

Writing The Girl Buried in the Woods has been the thrill of my life as an artist. As with all of my novels, it's always those quiet moments in the story that seem the most haunting to me. I began to notice this while writing City of Fire, the first in the series of Lena Gamble novels. It's the idea that sometimes when you take your foot off the gas pedal as a writer, the story lights up and catches fire. If that's the case, then The Girl Buried in the Woods might just burn the house down!

Much thanks to all, and have a great summer! It's time to light up the grill!

All best,
Robert
