Inspired by J.A. Konrath, I have decided to donate all profits for Journey Into Darkness: A Kim Journey Thriller from now until the end of April to a charity called First Books, which buys books for children who don't have any. If you feel this blog has helped you, or if you just feel like donating a couple of dollars to a truly worthy charity, please support the cause by buying a copy and spreading the word. Thank you. On May 1 I will announce how much money we were able to raise.
When flight nurse Kim Journey was eleven, her five-year-old sister Jennifer disappeared.
Kim was supposed to be watching her.
Plagued with guilt for many years, Kim believes in her heart Jenny is still alive. She takes traveling assignments and tacks posters all over the country with computer-generated photos of what Jenny would look like now.
On a Life Flight call to a cardiac emergency, Kim discovers something horrifying, something grave and sinister and impossible to ignore. As the only living witness to this atrocity, she feels compelled to launch an investigation.
With no help from the police, and her nursing license in jeopardy, Kim must strike out on her own in an effort to discover what really happened.
But the truth seems to be elusive in the small town of Hallows Cove, Florida, and Kim soon finds herself tumbling headfirst into a black maze of deceit, betrayal, and murder.
Will these bizarre and brutal crimes in the deep south finally lead Kim to her long lost sister?

New Blog For Authors!
They say you can't judge a book by its cover.
They also say you never get a second chance at a first impression.
They say a lot of things, but let's face it: strong book covers help drive sales.
So how can we know if our covers are the best they can be?
That's why I created this site. Every day a new author will have a chance to get some feedback on his or her ebook cover. Everyone is welcome to submit, and everyone is welcome to comment.
Let's keep the criticism constructive and the language clean. No flame wars, no snark. Let's have fun with this. And if we come away with some ideas for a better book cover...well, that's the idea.
I'll get the ball rolling with the cover for my debut thriller Journey Into Darkness. Have at it, but be gentle. This is my first time. ;)
