First Word

Yours truly and author Scott D. Roberts. It's official! We launched Vengeance is Now by Scott D. Roberts at Bar West in Sacramento. It was a very nice party, and we had a decent-sized crowd show up to celebrate. Next up we head to Turlock on April 25 to launch in Scott's hometown.

Do you all really want to know more about that? Probably not. How about something better? California Girl Chronicles advanced hardcover editions come off press at the end of next week. That's better -- and way more interesting.  Here is a quick, funny story. I was promoting the release party last night and when I switched up my pitch and said it was "sassy" you should have seen the wave of cards come my way from people who suddenly wante...
