The Vampire Affair by Livia Reasoner

“I’m not sure if we can reach a deal or not, Mr. Brandt. The current owner of the resort has no interest in selling –”
Michael Brandt opened his briefcase and pushed aside a 9mm pistol, a vial of holy water, a wooden stake sharpened to a deadly point, and an antique knife with a silver-filigreed handle. He took out a legal pad, plucked a pen from the pocket of his jacket, and wrote a number on the pad. As he turned the pad around and pushed it toward the man seated on the other side of the table in the conference room, he said, “I’m sure you’ll pass along my offer to him anyway, as you’re duty-bound to do as his attorney.”

If you are interested in reading more, I am giving away 3 autographed copies. Send an email to reasoner@flash.net to enter. The winners will be chosen October 26th, just in time to get the books before Halloween.

Huckleberry Finished Review in Publishers Weekly

Publishers Weekly likes my second Delilah Dickinson Literary Tour mystery, HUCKLEBERRY FINISHED. You can read the review here. The book will be out at the end of October. I just turned in the third one in the series, KILLER ON A HOT TIN ROOF.

Computer Backup Bling

Last week my computer died and I lost some of my data because my usb memory stick was in my purse. I didn't take the time to go dig it out and backup. I won't leave it next to my computer because the one I did before burned with the house last year. I've decided never again. I bought a ugly memory stick with 8g of memory and glued and wired it to this owl pendant. Added a ribbon and I will now be wearing my computer backup. With a flick of a switch the usb connector comes out under the tail. I wonder why there isn't jewelry like this on the market.

COMING: THE VAMPIRE AFFAIR

This is the cover for my Silhouette Nocturne novel that comes out around November 1. I’m very pleased with it. I like the colors, and the characters actually look like they’re described in the book. The manuscript went through several titles before the editor and I decided on this one, and while I’m aware that it’s the same title as an old Man From U.N.C.L.E. novel, it really seemed to fit the story. I’ve written paranormal romances before, but this is my first book with vampires in it. I had a great time writing it.
