Blog Tour Day 19: Guest Post on CMash Loves To Read, “My Inspiration for King of Paine,” & Book Giveaway
King of Paine melds two wildly different story lines. In one, Special Agent Frank Paine hunts an online stalker who’s taunting him with crimes hinting at the agent’s own kinky past. At the same time, reporter Roger Martin is guided by an angelic woman to investigate missing senior citizens across the country. Given the book’s split personality, readers of today’s guest post on CMash Loves to Read entitled “My Inspiration for King of Paine” will not be surprised that it …

Blog Tour Day 16: Review on Opinions of a Wolf
Day 16 of the blog tour takes us to Opinions of a Wolf and the first howling pan of King of Paine on the tour. If you have any doubts about the independence of the reviewers hosting my events, this post will ease your mind! No book is for everyone, and King of Paine deals with some controversial themes. It’s my policy not to hide negative reviews because the last thing I want to do is sell someone a book …

The dramatic rise of e-books has made it easy for anybody to publish a novel, and readers are scrambling for ways to pluck the most entertaining stories from the bargain bin. In today’s guest post at The Enchanted Book– “What Can You Expect From a 99-cent E-Book?”– I make the case for some amazing values hidden at that price point. The Enchanted Book is an award-winning book blog that is, in a word, enchanting. Host Selena describes herself as “someone …

Day 13 of the blog tour takes us to The Book Diva’s Reads for my guest post “Buried Treasures: Treats for the Watchful Reader” and a review of King of Paine by my host, Vivian, The Book Diva herself. Today’s post was a fun one to write because when the grind of revising later drafts becomes tiresome, one of the ways I entertain myself is by hiding little Easter eggs in the manuscript–homages, themes, and other trivia I hope will …

Blog Tour Day 11: “Getting Inside The Mind of a Madman,” My Interview with Frank Paine
We’re halfway through the King of Paine blog tour, and I’ve set aside this Sunday for an interview with Frank Paine to learn how the rookie FBI agent got inside the mind of the stalker who tormented him. The conversation has been edited to avoid spoilers and maintain this site’s “PG” rating. KAHN: Thank you for joining me today, Special Agent Paine. PAINE: Like I had a damn choice. KAHN: Well, since Assistant Special-Agent-in-Charge Holbrook suspended you for insubordination, I …
Blog Tour Day 10: Book Giveaway and My Guest Post on Darlene’s Book Nook: “Rooting for a Flawed Protagonist”
Readers love to root for their action heroes, so even when authors endow their main characters with flaws to add depth and realism, the “defects” are often designed to make you sympathize with the character more (like a job applicant who reluctantly admits to being a workaholic). But in my new suspense novel, Frank Paine did a bad, bad thing, making him a rarity in the thriller universe–a truly flawed protagonist. In today’s guest post on Darlene’s Book Nook I …
