Dead Hot Out in Ebook!

4/1/2017

3 Comments

 

At long last! Due to some last minute additions and changes spurred by one of my excellent beta readers, Dead Hot was delayed slightly but still managed to sneak in by end of the March, as promised. At least, it was published in March! Notifications are going out in April.

Currently Dead Hot is available on Amazon USA, Barnes and Noble, Kobo, and Smashwords. It will take a bit longer for Apple and other sites. A trade paperback will be forthcoming in a couple months or so.

Here is the final blurb:

It's not just the sun's rays beaming down...

After losing a brutal election, Sheriff Karen Mehaffey and her uncle, Detective Marek Okerlund, are headed from South Dakota to New Mexico for a long delayed vacation and job hunt.

Marek hopes to reunite with his old homicide partner in Albuquerque, while Karen looks to her former career as a dispatcher. But when Marek's young daughter goes unexpectedly mute when their plane lands in the city of her mother's death, all plans are put on hold.

Dispirited, they'd barely arrived at their motel when a man dies on their doorstep, proclaiming himself the victim of radiation poisoning. Crazy? Perhaps. But with his last words, the man snares their attention: he asks them to tell Karen's father back in South Dakota that he's sorry... but for what?

Fated for a busman's holiday, Karen and Marek find themselves entangled in a case hotter than the New Mexico sun.

Hi, Mary,

Delighted you enjoyed the books! I'm currently working on the next one, tentatively titled Dead Poor, that starts where Dead Hot leaves off. The manuscript is due with my editor in November and, if all goes well, it should be out as usual in March. Sorry for the wait but my brain doesn't like to do more than one book a year. ;-)

Happy to hear a new book is on the way, but November is such a long way off! I hope it's set in Albuquerque. (Please!) Any chance of a hint here on the blog? And maybe more frequent blog posts?
