Oracle Mystery Tour

The cover for JC Martin's Oracle is out and the revelation of her cover has a mystery attached to it, one that the readers can solve for a chance at a $20 Amazon voucher! For more details on the contest and how to participate, see JC's blog HERE.

Oracle

As the countdown begins, the body count rises.

With London gearing up to host the Olympics, the city doesn’t need a serial killer stalking the streets. They’ve got one anyway.

Leaving a trail of brutal and bizarre murders, the police are no closer to finding their latest murderer than Detective Inspector Kurt Lancer is in finding a solution for his daughter’s disability.

Thrust into the pressure cooker of a high profile case, the struggling single parent is wound tight as he tries to balance care of his own family with the safety of a growing population of potential next victims.

One of whom could be his own daughter.

Fingers point in every direction as the public relations nightmare grows, and Lancer’s only answer comes in the form of a single oak leaf left at each crime scene.






Lindsay Buroker has a new story out


The Assassin's Curse


When outlaws Amaranthe and Sicarius chance upon spies stealing military prototypes, they immediately give chase. Well, immediately after Amaranthe talks Sicarius, former assassin and all-around non-altruistic type, into the mission. She wants an imperial pardon, and what better way to attract the emperor’s favor than by looking after the empire’s interests?

Origins Blogfest, Monday, February 13th


Hosted by DL Hammons of Cruising Altitude 2.0, and cohosts Katie Mills, Alex J. Cavanaugh and Matthew MacNish


On Monday, February 13th, you should post your own origin story.  Tell us all where your writing dreams began.  It could be anything from how you started making up stories as a child, or writing for the school newspaper, or even what prompted you to start a blog.  How about stories about the first time somebody took an interest in your writing, or the teacher/mentor that helped nudge you along and mold your passion, or maybe the singular moment when you first started calling yourself a writer.  It all started somewhere and we want you to tell us your own, unique, beginnings.

Sign up at any of the four blogs.






And don't forget about the I'll Tumble 4 Ya Blogfest hosted by Nicki Elson, Suze of Analog Breakfast, and myself. You can read all about it and sign up HERE

Yay! Fun fests, and Yay! The Oracle cover is really nice. And I love the premise. Serial killer at the Olympics... good stuff! And timely.

I like it when artists put blue on a cover. One of my favorite covers is Amanda Hocking's Wake. It just feels so wet and it's because of all the blue in it.

I finished Semper Audacia btw and left you a five-star review on Goodreads and other places. Great read. I love the hard science that went into writing this novella.

M Pax said...

They are great covers, Tonja.

Yay, festing, Miranda.

The mystery cover contest is clever, Tara and Brandon & Bryan

February is shaping up to be a very busy month in the blogosphere, Melissa.

I like them both, too, Angelina

Festing! Alex.

Lots of fun and yay, Leigh. You have a great week, too.

Blue is one of my favorite colors, Michael. Thx a million for the kind reviews.

Jane and Lance Hattatt said...

Hello Mary:
The subject of J C Martin's novel could hardly be more timely in this year of the London Olympic Games. Surely the nightmare scenario for all the Games organisers but it sounds like a ripping yarn to us!!

Lynda R Young said...

I love the cover of Lindsey's book too.

M Pax said...
