Hi there!
Just so I’m clear, this post has nothing to do with a TV show called Riptide, which I never even knew existed until I searched Google Images and found the picture of the three nerds guys you see above. Isn’t that interesting?
This post is to let you (yes, you reading this here blog
) know about the awesome early good reviews and endorsements that have come in for my upcoming new release, RIPTIDE.
This novel is, of course, the third in the Sam McRae mystery series. So it’ll be a real, actual series. Hurray!
So … here are some of the great things people have been saying writing about the book:
“A fast-paced, compelling crime novel that leaves the reader as buzzed and breathless as the Running of the Bulls.”
– Benjamin Sobieck, author of Cleansing Eden
“Full of tension and suspense from cover-to-cover, Riptide is a cracking good read.”
– Leighton Gage, author of A Vine in the Blood
“… a fast, smooth read, chock full of tension with an action payoff.”
– Frank Zafiro, author of Waist Deep and the River City Crime series
Really nice stuff!
But check out this amazing blurb and brief summary of the book, all in one. Zounds!
“Vacation, a time to put your feet up and relax, unless, of course your name is Sam McRae. Step back in time to the year 2006. The place is Ocean City, Maryland, a summertime paradise replete with sun, sea, sand, and … murder. Thus begins this gritty tale and McRae’s attempt to clear a dear friend, who has been charged with the heinous crime. Our hero must bring to bear all of her considerable investigative skills as she unwinds this tightly drawn mystery, which is sure to have you hooked until the satisfying end.”
– Lawrence Kelter, bestselling author of The Stephanie Chalice Mystery Series
Whoa! Thank you one and all for your kind words!
Details about the launch and upcoming ebook giveaways are coming soon. The cover is in the works, which I hope to post on this here blog in the not too distant future.
And I can assure you, Justin Bieber will not be on it. LOL!
While I’m at it, here’s a little number all about the importance of good word of mouth that’ll get your blood pumping. Ha ha ha …
PS: I nearly forgot to mention this interesting little item about Apple I ran across today. Hmm …

Can’t wait to read Riptide! I’m not sure, but I may have seen one episode of that TV show. Those dudes look vaguely familiar.

Thanks, Brenda!
I can’t wait to be done with all the detail work and release the book.
I have no recollection of that show. The guy with the mustache reminds me a bit of Tom Selleck, but I don’t recognize the others.

I’d’ve suggested looking it up on Wikipedia … just not today …

Yeah … later tonight, perhaps. I think the blackout ends at 8 p.m., so I’ll be able to do today’s teaser. Thank God for Wikipedia, eh?
