High-res (via NASA - Sunrise) Some authors can picture everything in their heads.  Not me.  So when I need to describe something in my books, I do a google image search for the thing I’m trying to describe.  Right now, I’m describing this, which Dagny watches in Chapter 28 of the new book.

When you see your book on the Mystery/Thriller shelf at your favorite bookstore, you feel like you almost belong. (Taken at Joseph-Beth in Cincinnati).

UPDATE:  I made an adjustment for the last picture.

The top photo is a screen capture of my book on the news in Ft. Wayne, Indiana.  The bottom photo was passed along by the creator of the display, Carol Gibbs from the IVY Tech library.  Thanks Carol!

This is the coolest thing ever . . . someone

I love this!—You can see my book in the news clip above.  Explanation:

Students at Ivy Tech in Fort Wayne spent the day baking literary creations for the International Edible Food Festival.

The event invites book and food lovers to create, display and taste foods based on a book or a pun from a book title.

Among this year’s entries: The Messy Monkey Tea Party, The Bubble Gum Thief, and The Princess and the Pea.

Here’s my radio interview from this morning.  I’m not going to listen, because I’m pretty sure I sound like I’m five years old.

More articles about bubble gum thieves.  Again, my guy is much more dangerous than these.  Click on each to see the full image.

The Bubble Gum Thief peaked as the number 2 kindle book in the UK.  It hit number 1 in Crime, Thrillers, & Mystery.  

I’m blown away that you can sit alone in a room in front of a computer working on something with no assurance that anyone, anywhere, will ever read it … and that years later people across the ocean would give it their time, which is the most valuable of all reader commodities.

Thank you, United Kingdom, for such incredible support of my book.
