what a great idea matthew!
i’ve been trying and trying to figure a way to more honestly “trade” for equally honest reviews, and this is, i think, a fantastic way to do it
you’ll have to do a post later on and tell us how it goes!
best wishes!
I just finished A Reason to Live and really liked it and am looking forward to the next Marty Singer mystery- the book i just finsihed says it’s supposed to be out Summer 2012- when will it be released?
Carolyn – Thanks so much for reading A Reason to Live and even more for your compliments!
I apologize for not having the second book, Blueblood, out yet; when ‘Reason went to print, I had to take a guess on when I’d release it, and I will have missed by just a few weeks: Blueblood is going through its third and final edit with Michael Mandarano, my copy editor, as we speak.
Final edits should arrive in the 2nd week of September, and it shouldn’t take very long at all to implement the changes Michael recommends. Blueblood will be ready for sale for all digital e-readers, hopefully around September 21. A print edition should be in the works by mid-October.
Again, I apologize for the delay, but after fans sent me 3 pages of typos and mistakes they found in ‘Reason, I knew I wanted to make every subsequent book the absolute best it could be. I hope you’ll agree!
Thanks again for touching base. Keep checking back here…you better believe I’ll post to my blog when Blueblood is ready!
