The Arrival of Murder

It doesn’t release to the stores until February, but my copies of A MURDER AMONG FRIENDS arrived today. What a great Christmas present!

The title is hotlinked to the book’s Amazon pages, but here it is also on Barnes and Noble. It won’t be available on the eHarlequin site until next month.

I’m tickled pink, as my mother would say. :)

Over the next month, I’ll post a few excerpts from the book, so you’ll have more of an idea of what your getting for that five bucks.

In February, Steeple Hill is expanding their Love Inspired Suspense line from 2 to 4 books, and as a new author, I’ll be either 3 or 4 for the month. Which means that if the bookstores and chains don’t pick up those last two, orders may depend on requests or online. So PLEASE order one (or ten :) ).

I’m going to start with the back cover copy…and possible an excerpt later in the day. After I stop bouncing off the walls and grinning.


From the AMAF back cover (which I did not write, so thanks to the one who did):

The death of bestselling author Aaron Jackson turned Maggie Weston’s world inside out. The manager of Jackson’s Writers Retreat, Maggie knew a murderer hid among her colleagues and friends. Was it actress Lily Dunne, target of a stalker’s obsession? Lily’s writer husband, struggling to make a name for himself. Money-loving Korie, Aaron’s wife? Or someone else?

Maggie herself stood to inherit from Aaron’s estate. As former New York City cop Fletcher MacAllister piled up evidence against Maggie, only faith kept her strong. And Fletcher needed to rekindle his own faith in time to prevent the killer from claiming another victim.

“Ramona Richards has ingeniously woven together two stories and given it to her readers as fiction inside fiction. A Murder Among Friends is filled with human emotion and woven with faith’s struggles. From the first chapter till the last, you won’t stop wondering and you won’t want to stop reading, even if you put the book down long enough to grab a fresh cup of coffee.”
–Eva Marie Everson, CBA bestselling author of The Potluck Club series

CONGRATULATIONS! That is a wonderful Christmas present. Mine came yesterday in the form of trade book galleys in an imposing-looking (well, to me, anyway) UPS Express box from a certain publishing company. Not quite as “real” as yours at this point–but well on its way!

I’d post a bit more, but I also am dying to write . . . probably not for as muse-oriented reasons as you, but I, too, feel the dragons’ breath–even for a workbook!

Merry Christmas from Charleston,

Marti
