I’m honoured to have been one of the mystery/crime/thriller authors selected to promote Smashwords at Bouchercon 2015, the world mystery convention being held this weekend in Raleigh, NC.
Never Say Spy (Book 1) and The Spy Is Cast (Book 2) were included on the Smashwords USB drive given to all Bouchercon attendees.
North Carolina is a helluva long trip for most people, though, so I’m making both e-books free to everyone this weekend. (Never Say Spy is free through all retailers, but The Spy Is Cast freebie is only available through Smashwords.)
Get the freebies from Smashwords here:
Never Say Spy (Book 1): https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/96058
The Spy Is Cast (Book 2): https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/100014 (Enter coupon code NH25H and click the ‘Apply Coupon’ button when you check out. The price will reset to $0.00.)
Note: This series contains coarse language and adult content.
This deal ends tomorrow (Sunday, October 11, 2015) so please spread the word. Thanks!
Thanks so much for that extension! As a reward, and to ensure that you keep them coming, here are a few more titles for you:
The Spider and the Spy; Spy-Spy, Captain (a really naughty-cal one); Spy No More, Ladies; Downward Spy Rail (or Spy Rail Staircase); Spy, There’s the Rub; Spy a Spy Aspire; Do or Spy (or Spy or Die); Spy Nail Injury; Spy, Spy, Blackbird; The Spy and the Mighty; Fit the Right Spies; The Spied Piper (or Paper); Spied for the Love of a Lady; Spy, Spy Again; Hush, Baby, Don’t Spy; Only Have Spies for You; Spies to Despise; Won Spies Fit All; Spy me a River; With My Little Spy; Spy Noon; Spy Away Peter.

LOL! Clearly you underestimate my geekery. I already have a giant spreadsheet containing several hundred rhyming titles/phrases. Still, though, you’ve thought up a few I missed – thanks! 🙂

I should have known … still, I have hopes that the few include a couple with some appeal.

All this free stuff and I have to BUY the latest book in the series? Where is your sense of fair play? Probably right there with your need for food, but that’s beside the point. I’ll show you! I might not read book 10 until 11 is finished. So there.
OTOH I might read 10 in the meantime. You know how it is.

We writers are a devious bunch, aren’t we? 😉 I’m glad you’re enjoying Book 2 so far, and I hope you got Book 1, too. If not, you can pick it up anytime – it’s perma-free. The books can stand alone, but they make more sense if you read them in order.

I boobed – my fault for not reading the instructions on this ‘box’ regarding the coupon. I got Book 1, saw that Book 2 was still priced, and decided to finish the entrée before going for any more menu items!

I really hope book 11 flows fast from your fingers i cant wait for the next one, although im currently reading andrea camilleri’s inspector montalbano im almost finished the series and will have to find someone else to read while I wait impatiently for book 11.
I’m open to suggestions if anyone cares to suggest another great author

Thanks, Karen! I’m hard at work on Book 11, but now I’m tempted to check out Andrea Camilleri! There’s always room on To-Be-Read pile. 🙂

My to be read pile is huge, both in actual books (have to do it occasionally) and my kobo. Fortunately or unfortunately the kindle I inherited died, my friends had loaded over 400 books on to it!!
im sure you will enjoy andrea camilleri if you try him, like yours the books can be stand alone, but kinda follow on from one another.
well time for bed, hope everyone has a great day
hugs to all

Indeed, Sue. But for the life of me, I still canNOT understand why Diane is not the QUEEN of Hollywood with a 10-film movie deal and an option on Number 11. I’m just stumped.
