Thanks so much for including Maria Mankin and my “Death in the Woods” (#2 in the series but easily free-standing — we are honored to be in such amazing company! Hope we can divide and read them all!
Thanks for including Weeding Out Lies, Dru.
Congratulations to all the authors!
Thanks for including Weeding Out Lies, Dru.
Congratulations to all the authors!
Is there some general wisdom out there that says Wednesday is the best day to release a book? It’s quite astonishing to see all the books coming out July 25!
I’m happy to see the Crime Under the Sun anthology listed here as my short story, “The Writing on the Wall” is included.
Congratulations to all the July authors, and thank you, Dru, for keeping us well-informed.
Cheers!
Shelley Burbank
