"Busy Summer with Promo!"

Life is sure busy during this month in June! How is life treating you this summer? With a summer release, the kiddos home, summer sports, and lots of home changes going on, it’s definitely been a wild month. I thought it would be easier to share a list of my recent Criminal Instinct activity.

Here are a few fun blog guest spots I’ve participated in and lovely reviews I've received within the past few weeks.

~ Come read my cover story for Criminal Instinct on the Barnes and Noble Community blog. I chatted with talented author, Melissa Walker about the cover changes Criminal Instinct had gone through before publication.

~ Check out my writer chat interview with author Maggie Marr!

~ On author Carrie Lofty’s blog, I shared an exclusive excerpt of Criminal Instinct!

~ And tomorrow, on June 30th, I’ll be blogging with the lovely bloggers at Petit Fours and Hot Tamales!! I’ll be discussing how I used the past to add sympathy to my imperfect characters. So please stop by!

And I'm happy to share a few lovely reviews I’ve received for Criminal Instinct…

"The action is nonstop, the violence nearly constant, the emotions always just below the surface. Much like Ana. It was almost exhausting to read, but that might be because I read it in a single sitting. I couldn’t stop. The threat was always right there, and it felt too tenuous to put the book aside, even though I knew I could always come back to it. The level of detail creates a world that’s gritty and completely in your face, defying you to pretend it’s not real." ~ Book Utopia

"The gritty world of illegal drug dealings is realistically portrayed in CRIMINAL INSTINCT, where danger is nonstop and emotions are conflicted." ~ 4.5 Stars by Amelia Richard, Singletitles.com

"Criminal Instinct is a roller coaster ride right from the get-go. [...] The plot was like an onion that was constantly being peeled away. It had me riveted to my seat until the very end." ~ Ann, Romance Junkies --romancejunkies.com

Whew! Yes, it's definitely been a busy a month! And I'm hoping for this positive busy to bump on over into July!
