With my newest baby (my historical novel Breadcrumbs and Bombs) being a month old now, I’m working steadily on another book. The new one is the first in a new series, or perhaps a stand-alone book. I haven’t decided. It’s a time travel mystery that could technically be called a young adult book because the story starts on the seventeenth birthday of the protagonist, a girl named Bailey Blackstone. In the book, she accidentally travels back in time to the Colorado gold rush. For those of you who don’t know, I’m really interested in gold mining and history, so this is a book that I’ve long wanted to write.

I’m also preparing to do a book talk at the Sun City Library in Sun City, Arizona next month. It’ll be my first book talk in a year and a half. I’m looking forward to the event.

To celebrate all that’s happening in my book writing world, I decided to make one of my books free for a couple days. The obvious choice of books for me was Liars’ Games because I’ve already started work on a sequel to it (have five chapters written) and it will likely be the book I’ll proceed with after the time travel book is finished.

Wow. Too many books to work on. Too many ideas floating around in my head.

Anyway, I hope you will read all of my books. If you haven’t tried Liars’ Games yet, now is the perfect opportunity. And please tell your friends. It’s free on all Amazon websites around the world.

Enjoy!

Liars’ Games (Project Chameleon Book 1)

Juliet Powell, a former child-prodigy and math professor, wants her old life back—the life where she was in love and happy, the life where she was safe and sheltered, the life where she was well-respected and admired. What she has, instead, is a life in hiding and only partially protected under the witness protection program. She tells herself she will eventually adapt to her new life, but with each new identity comes more stories and more chances of getting them entangled. She’s getting further and further away from who she really is.
When she blows her cover yet again, her handler warns her this is her last chance. She needs to blend in like a chameleon and play the game, but how can someone who has always believed in honesty suddenly become a convincing liar?
Compounding her problem with this new move, a political maneuver not of her choice and not within the usual rules of witness protection, ensconces her in the role of principal at a Denver high school full of gangs, drug dealers, and disgruntled employees. And then, when she discovers that a stranger is watching her and her young son, and her handler can’t or won’t move her, she must decide whether to run away and take her chances, or stay and fight to make the school safer.
Liars’ Games is a witness protection romance suspense novel and the first in a series. The author is working on the next book in the series, tentatively titled ‘The Secret Town’.
This book’s unofficial sequel is Winter Tears, the third book in the Outsider’s Mystery series. It’s a cross-over book that briefly connects the two series.
