DOUBLE VISION French Cover Reveal! How cool is this? (Tres Cool, I say)

And here it is! Very cool, right?

I owe all my thanks to the amazing people at Foundry (my agency) and Seuil (the French publisher), and of course Harper Children's, since there wouldn't be much to translate without them. So merci beaucoup. It's so exciting to know that Linc's Paris adventure will be available in French this June...

The title means "beware of your double." I won't subject to any of my high school French, since it largely involves me ordering dinner or finding the bathroom. But I wanted to share this great cover with you, since you've stuck around this long.

Happy Monday!

Find the best short (crime) fiction here

Author friend Patti runs a flash fiction challenge every so often, which is loads of fun. I had to bow out (I'm knee-high in writing Linc's third adventure), but I'm looking forward to reading all the short stories everyone else came up with.

The theme was a white van... Check out the stories here at Patti's blog.

To add some soul to your Monday: Marvin Gaye (1968)

This is one of my favorite Marvin Gaye songs. I used to sing it when riding my bike to school :-)

When I went to find it on Youtube, there were oodles of cover versions, but no one owned it like the man himself. Sometimes, you just gotta know when to leave it to the master, right?

Happy Monday, all...

For #fridayreads, which author do you admire?

After reading TAKEN last year, I discovered I really like Robert Crais' books. I'm a little late to the fan party, I know--the man has written a good bookshelf full of mysteries.

So I picked up his recent release, SUSPECT. The book opens with a chapter written from a military K-9 dog's perspective; I was choked up by page ten... As a writer, it left me in awe. Don't we all wish we could write that powerful of a story?

How about you, readers and writers? Which author do you admire?

April 2022 News (or: on reading slumps and lots of editing...)

  April snuck up on me like a thief in the night! I’ve been so busy writing, editing, and coming up with ideas for  Daybreak on Raven Island...
