It's been a fairly quiet summer, much of it spent hunched over the keyboard finishing the rewrites for Book 2.  Except it's not quiet anymore, and it's not just "Book 2" anymore!  

Announcing the second book in the Van Shaw series:  

HARD COLD WINTER

Much more to come soon, with launch plans, Bouchercon in early October, and the paperback release of PAST CRIMES.  But for now, I'm just gonna bask in the glow of this gorgeous cover design!
