DEADLY SCANDAL, the first in the new Deadly series from Kate Parker, launched February 25th at all major retailers.
A young widow turns her skills—sketching, several languages drilled into her in boarding school, great fashion sense, and an acquaintance with the aristocracy—into a path in pre WWII London that leads to her husband’s killer… and a role in events on a continent sliding toward war.

The Lansing State Journal had this to say about SEIZED, Book 3 in Elizabeth Heiter’s Profiler series with MIRA: “SEIZED…is a taut thriller that could be torn from tomorrow’s newspaper headlines….The Profiler series could easily be turned into a dandy television series. Heiter’s latest is a thought-provoking thriller by a rising star in contemporary crime fiction.” More about the book here: www.elizabethheiter.com
And from Gwen Hernandez, some news we can all use:
1. She has an essay in the forthcoming Writer Unboxed book AUTHOR IN PROGRESS, out in November from Writer’s Digest Books.
2. Her new Scrivener training site launched today and the Intro class is ready to go, with more to come in the spring. Gwen is really excited because she was able to expand the lessons, add videos, and make the courses available all year round. And now she can focus on her writing again.
