Things are still heating up here in Arizona! After a year of
writing, editing, and repeating the process several times, my first novel, Killing
Karma, is now set to launch. My book will be available in the Kindle
format on Amazon after October 1st.
The print version will follow soon; I’ll make an announcement when a
firm date has been set. Wider distribution on other sites and in other formats
will also be coming in the near future.
I feel it’s appropriate that the book is launching now, as
the first chapter takes place during this time of year. In the spirit of the
season, here’s a peek at the book: first two paragraphs of Chapter 1:
***
Rose McCarthy, a simple straightforward
woman in life, had no wish to be otherwise in death. The coffin she arranged to
carry her earthly shell to its final rest appeared tasteful, but understated,
the service short and to the point.
It was only 10:30 in the morning and the
late September sun had already taken its toll. The small group gathered at the
cemetery on the western edge of the desert metropolis fidgeted, tugged at
collars and ties, and fanned themselves with anything they could find. James stood in silence, his eyes fixed on his
mother’s casket, afraid to look away; like if he shifted his gaze for even one
moment, it would become real. After what seemed an eternity he straightened his
back, swallowed the lump in his throat, and turned away.

I would also like to take this
opportunity to thank everyone for their support, be it in the past, the present,
or the future. Subscribe to this blog and I’ll keep up to date on releases of
this book, as well as progress on my future writing projects.
