Lost
Dog is now on the shelves! It was described to me by one reader
as "great for my fiancé to read while he's in jail." I'm
not sure I can think of a nicer thing for someone to say about it!
In other news, Lost Dog has now taken the Page 69 Test, which asks the question, is page 69 a good place to get a sense of a book? You can check out the results of Lost Dog's test here.
Read an excerpt from Lost Dog.
Be sure to write and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear from you!

about Lost Dog
Peter
McKrall is at a crossroads—out of work, fighting a klepto habit,
and trying to figure out his next move. Life takes an unexpected turn when
a search for his niece’s stuffed dog leads him to something else
entirely: a bullet-riddled corpse. Talking to reporters lands Peter on
the local news, which turns out to be a dangerous spotlight. And now Darla,
the troubled daughter of the victim, is reaching out to him—but can
she be trusted? When a second murder takes place and evidence is planted
in his trash, the cops dredge up Peter’s painful history. The only
ray of sunshine in this harrowing nightmare is Ruby Jane, whose warm smile
melts the winter chill.
An unwitting player in a bizarre chain of events, Peter has no idea that the deranged killer is after him—until he takes a shot at Ruby Jane.
Lost Dog, a novel of suspense, available from Midnight Ink Books.
