Ex-buyer turned trend specialist turns amateur sleuth! She designed her future with couture precision, but finding the fashion director's corpse on day one leaves her hanging by a thread. And when the killer fabricates evidence that puts the cops on her hemline, even a chance run-in with hot shoe designer Nick Taylor can't keep her life from unraveling. She trades high fashion for dirty laundry and reveals a cast of designers out for blood. Now her job, her love life, and her future are put on hold as she tries to expose a diabolical designer before getting marked down for murder.

About The Author

I’m a former fashion buyer turned mystery writer, trading fashion accessories for accessories to murder. I was bit by the mystery bug as a kid reading Trixie Belden, Connie Blair, and The Three Investigators. Now I’m writing three series: the Style & Error Mysteries, the Mad for Mod Mysteries, and the Material Witness Mysteries.

The Costume Shop mysteries debuted with A DISGUISE TO DIE FOR, which introduces Margo Tamblyn, costume shop owner, who helps solve a murder after one of her clients is found dead at his own costume party (dressed as Sherlock!). MASKING FOR TROUBLE, the second in the series was released last October and Dressed to Confess will be out in August 2017.

The Material Witness mysteries feature Polyester Monroe, who inherits the fabric shop where she was born. Books include SUEDE TO REST  and CRUSHED VELVET . The third, SILK STALKINGS,  was just released.

The Style & Error Series features former fashion buyer turned amateur sleuth Samantha Kidd. 

Books in that series include DESIGNER DIRTY LAUNDRY ; BUYER, BEWARE ; THE BRIM REAPER ; SOME LIKE IT HAUTE, GRAND THEFT RETRO, and Pearls Gone Wild. (A short story, “Just Kidding ,” tells the story of how Samantha first met shoe designer Nick Taylor).

The Madison Night Mysteries feature a modern day interior decorator who specializes in midcentury design (studying Doris Day movies to get the look right). Books are PILLOW STALK ,THAT TOUCH OF INK , and WITH VICS YOU GET EGGROLL . 

A prequel novella, “Midnight Ice,” can be found in OTHER PEOPLE’S BAGGAGE .

The Girl Most Likely By Donna Alward Book Blitz!

The Girl Most Likely

By Donna Alward

Blurb:

No one wants to take a risk on The Girl Most Likely To Have Fun…except the one person in the world she’d rather not ask.

Katie Buick dreams of opening her own niche restaurant, but finding a financial backer for a reformed party girl is proving impossible. Until she makes a final desperate plea to Ric Emerson, former geek and high school friend turned successful businessman. Too bad they haven’t spoken since she humiliated him before their prom. The last thing she expects is for him to say yes, or for him to have made such a complete transformation from old friend to heartthrob. But she learned the hard way that nothing good comes from mixing business with pleasure.

Ric knows Katie’s idea is brilliant, and with his business acumen and her work ethic, they’re sure to be a success. Building the business brings Ric and Katie closer together. Chemistry still simmers between them, blurring the lines between personal and professional despite their best intentions. Ric trusts Katie to make their business a success, but can he trust her with his heart a second time?

Excerpt 1:

A slow song came on the radio, and when Ric smiled at her, Katie’s resolve faltered. Don’t ask me to dance, she prayed.

“Wanna dance?”

Oh, shoot.

He held out a hand and she didn’t know what to do. Her hesitation must have been obvious because Ric looked at her meaningfully and cajoled, “It’s just a dance, Katie. We’ve done it before.”

Of course. At the country club. They’d been teenagers and two out of a handful of young people there. Occasionally, they’d be pressed into dancing. It hadn’t been unpleasant. But Ric hadn’t raised her temperature then, not as he did now.

She put her hand in his and her body shivered as he took her into his arms. He pressed his hand against her waist, drawing her closer as they circled the floor with tiny steps. Beat by beat, all her resolve melted until she leaned into him and rested her head lightly on his right shoulder. He brought their hands in so they touched his chest, and she felt the erratic beating of his heart against her fingers. His body was warm and hard, and for the first time in years, Katie felt secure in another’s arms, like she was cherished and protected.

Excerpt 2:

There was a knock at the door and she sighed. What in the world was someone doing here now? Looking out the Judas hole she saw Ric standing there in his ever-present dark suit. She slid the chain back from the door and opened it.

“Hi,” she said, holding the edge of the door with her right hand.

“Hi yourself. Sorry I missed today. We had an accident on the site and I had to be there. Brought you a present, though.” He was all charm and goodwill as he smiled down at her and her annoyance melted away. Briefly, she resented the fact that he could do that to her with only a smile.

“Come in,” she offered, but it came out with little warmth.

“You look exhausted. How did it go?” He stepped into the dining area and put a bottle of champagne on the table as well as a plastic bag.

“We were busy. Really busy,” she added and couldn’t help but give a little laugh of wonder. “I’m beat, but we did okay. The place was packed at lunch.”

“Congratulations. I knew you could do it.”

“Not without your backing.” She folded her hands in front of her. He would show up while she looked a fright. Oh well. She was too tired to be overly concerned about her appearance.

Ric stepped forward, close enough she smelled his expensive cologne. Close enough she could reach out and touch him.

“All you needed was money and a little direction. All the hard work, the vision, was you, Katie.” He tucked a piece of hair behind her ear and her pulse leaped as his fingers grazed her neck.

“I knew I could do it, but I’d hear all the voices of people telling me I was crazy and I’d start doubting.”

“Of course you did. You’re human.” He dropped his hand and put it in his pocket. “But you carried on, followed through.”

His gaze delved deeply into hers as he offered her the one thing she desperately needed.

“I’m proud of you, Katie.”

Tears stung her eyes and she looked down. Not once had someone given her those words, such unqualified validation. Her throat swelled and she didn’t trust herself to speak.

“Was that patronizing? I didn’t mean it to be. I am proud of you. It takes a lot to rise above your insecurities and build something from the beginning.”

She cleared her throat. “Like you did?”

He smiled then, and the warmth of it snuggled around her.

“I’m glad you noticed. I admire your determination. I know it’s not easy. But I didn’t mean to make you cry.” He tilted up her chin with a finger.

“It’s okay,” she replied, taking a deep breath and shaking off his hand, showing him she was fine. “I got a little emotional. I’m tired and it’s been a long day. You run on adrenaline so long and then when it’s gone, you sort of lose it.”

“I should have realized.” He stepped away, gesturing lamely at the table. “I brought champagne and fruit, thinking we could celebrate, but you’re clearly not in the mood for it.”

The thought of kicking back with some high-quality bubbly and Ric had a certain appeal. But Katie was sure that after a glass or two, she’d do something stupid like let down her guard and, at the very least, kiss him again, or let him touch her the way he’d started to the other night.

“Thanks for understanding. Right now all I want is a bath and bed.”

Liar, her inner voice taunted. Her cheeks colored as her innocent words took on an intimate meaning. His eyes pinned her for a long moment and she tucked her fingers into her palms to keep from reaching out to him.

“Why don’t you sit down, and let me take care of everything,” he suggested. He took her arms and pushed her down on to the sofa again. “Relax and give me ten minutes.”

She narrowed her eyes, suspicious. “What are you up to?”

“I left you to shoulder the burden of opening day. Now I’m being a good business partner and trying to make up for it.”

He disappeared into the bathroom and seconds later, she heard water running and a cupboard door opening and closing. The sound of the water filling the tub had a rhythmic quality and her eyes grew heavy as she listened.

Ric came back to the living room and looked around for a moment.

“Nice flowers,” he commented, looking at a bouquet of red roses on the table.

“From Dad and Mom. They sent them today as a congratulations.”

“May I?” He hovered his fingers over a few scarlet blossoms and Katie nodded, wary. What was he going to do with roses?

Sleepy, she burrowed into the cushions and dozed, dimly aware of Ric rummaging through her kitchen. It seemed like only seconds later when he gently shook her shoulder.

“Katie,” he murmured, and she opened her eyes.

He was leaning over her and desire pierced her. She fought the urge to grab the end of his tie and pull him down on top of her where he belonged.

Instead, he straightened and held out a hand. “Your bath awaits.”

Her heart began to pound as she took his hand and let him lead her down the hall. What had he done in her tiny bathroom? And was he seducing her? It was hard to tell with Ric…he was all long looks and light touches. With all the desire snapping between them like sparks, she wasn’t sure what he wanted or expected tonight. She wasn’t sure what she wanted or expected, either.

Katie turned the corner into the bathroom and caught her breath.

Three thick candles sat on the dark-green vanity, their flickering light reflected in the mirror. The calming scent of her lavender bath salts wafted on the moist air and she saw rose petals floating on the water. Her white clothes hamper was pulled close to the edge of the tub, an empty glass and small plate of strawberries and grapes arranged on its top. While her mouth hung open, Ric stepped ahead, undid the wrapper at the top of the bottle and deftly popped the cork. He filled the single glass half-full and put the bottle on the floor beside the hamper.

Turning, he met her wide-eyed gaze and she wondered frantically what came next—what she wanted to happen or what she knew should happen.

He took one step, then another, and a third that took him to her side. “Get some rest,” he whispered, reaching out to squeeze her forearm and dropping the merest hint of a kiss on her cheek.

He left her there in the bathroom, alone with the warm scents and dusky stillness. Still shocked, she heard the front door shut behind him and she let out a gigantic breath.

He’d done all this for her, expecting nothing in return. Wasn’t that a novel thing, now? A half smile curved her lips. Rose petals and champagne and candles. She peeled off her camisole top and slid out of her pajama pants. Dipping one toe in the water, she watched the circles move away from her foot, making the petals rise and fall on the tiny waves. She got all the way in and reached for the champagne, sampled a strawberry.

And wished she were a stronger woman. Because God help her, she was wishing Ric had never walked out that door tonight, and that wasn’t good.

Hopechest
Kailee Reese Samuels
(The SOS, #4)
Publication date: July 4th 2017

Kaci agreed to the most important question of her life.
And then she had her fiancé taken hostage.
He played her game and trained for battle.
And now he is completely unprepared to lose.
Loving her once, Sal fell for her eccentric, wild pixie. She used her abilities—aiming her target to get revenge—but Kaci stumbled into a dangerous love, putting Sal through a gut-wrenching hell.
Can Sal ever forgive her sins of the past?
With the questions on the table, one inescapable truth looms before their relationship. His calculating mind and intimidating body built for the greater good, leaving Sal changed. No longer the curious submissive boy of the past, his new outlook is one of defiance, kink, and control.
Will Kaci embrace the changes – or – is the end closer than she ever imagined?
There is nothing he can do—
No praying on his knees for forgiveness
No bargaining with the devil to save their relationship
In this heartbreaking battle, Sal will lose.
In the fourth and final book of The Story of Salvatore, Sal Raniero begs to reverse the clock as reality leaks into his perfect bubble. With his love of the fetish world shoved to the backburner, he learns not only the meaning of love, but how precious time is.
The war begins when Sal rages into Sugargrove—
Nothing safe from his wrath
Nothing sacred in his path
…including the Hope he longed to keep.

Welcome to the Madhouse By Dan Cummings Interview!

Sparks: Welcome to the Madhouse

By Dan Cummings

Genre: Supernatural/Action & Adventure

 

Dave Reynolds has grown jaded with his life, locked in a dead end janitorial job at the Ravenswood Institute for Mental Health, he quietly yearns for some excitement to stir up his mundane existence.  

That is until he learns that far below the hospital's grounds lies the Madhouse, the regional headquarters of the Frontline Unified Battalion of Arcane Resistance (FUBAR), a clandestine government agency tasked with combating supernatural evil. If that wasn't enough of a surprise, he also learns that he is a Spark, an individual with latent gifts, carrying the residual energy of a nigh extinct race of universal protectors.  

Drafted into service, he is accidentally afflicted with a curse, casting the sensible, rational aspects of his personality into a subconscious prison, unleashing a clownish psychotic who is as deadly as he is irritating.  

A wild card personified, Dave must now lead Whiskey Team, a motley crew of fellow Sparks and freaks including a punk rock witch, a werewolf, a medium and his ghostly best friend, and a female Japanese ninja, against the Alliance of Nyx, an ancient demonic organisation with designs on global conquest.  

Now, if Dave's reckless antics don't get his team killed, they may just stand a chance in this war.

Talking with Dan

Tell us about your genre.  How did you come to choose it?  Why does it appeal to you?  

Sparks: Welcome to the Madhouse is very much in the urban fantasy niche, but in all honesty I think it’s like a comic book in prose form due to the bright and brash characters and the world they inhabit. I chose to write in this genre for those aforementioned reasons because whilst horror was my first love - and the honeymoon period isn’t over yet, I write horror too – I am a gigantic comic book fan (primarily Marvel) and I am striving to create my own universe full of unforgettable heroes, villains and action. I mean come on, does anybody really enjoy being trapped in this dull world?

What do you find most challenging about the writing process, and how do you deal with it?

I have always been my own worst enemy, since I was a little kid. If somebody tells me they like something I’ve done, my first response is to focus on the negative. This goes double for my writing. Even those kind souls who get what I’m aiming for with the Sparks series and say nice things about Welcome to the Madhouse, I remain a cynic and doubt their compliments…maybe I’m beyond help or maybe just a dick, ha-ha (sigh). I have yet to find a way to quash such a pessimistic (realistic?) perspective so all I can do is keep writing and writing and hopefully do a good service to the characters I love.

When and where do you do your writing?

Motivational bursts can strike at any time or place, but for the most part I tend to write in the evenings/nights/early mornings, hunched over at the dining room table in the dark with my headphones in like some type of music loving, laptop savvy C.H.U.D. In fact that is where I will most likely spend the remainder of this evening, working on the sequel to Sparks, Hell for Leather.

What have you learned about promoting your books?

I have learned that promotion is hard! But when did feeling sorry for yourself ever help? But yes, it is difficult, but if you want to get your work out there then it is a necessary evil. You have to hammer social media, enter your book for free giveaways and reduced price deals, scour the sites for ebook reviewers and ask bloggers if they’re willing to help a brother (or sister) out by allowing you to write a guest blog or engage in an interview. If you believe in your work then you need to approach the promotional aspect with a stiff upper lip and get your hands dirty.

What are you most proud of as a writer?

 Naturally, I am most proud of Sparks because of the scale of the series. Welcome to the Madhouse is just the jumping off point, the second instalment which I am currently working on just builds on the foundation of the first novel, growing the characters and the world. Then I’ve got huge chunks of the third novel mapped out, then there’s the fourth, fifth etc. So I’d say I’m most proud of building this quirky, crazy universe where a bunch of supernatural, dysfunctional misfits find family, purpose and go through the wringer against some suitably dramatic villains. But not wanting to play favouritism, I am also very proud of my debut horror novel, Heartbreaker (also available on Amazon and Kindle), which is self-contained thankfully.

If you could have dinner with any writer, living or dead, who would it be and what would you talk about?

This is one of those dreaded questions which always causes a temporary mind wipe for reasons unknown, but I suppose I would say Robert McCammon. Since childhood, his works have always made an enormous impact on me, more so than any other novelist I’d say. Everything I have read by him just plays in my head like a projector screen, from They Thirst, Stinger, Swan Song, Gone South, they all just stuck with me. I suppose I’d ask him if he ever doubted his abilities when he was starting out, just to gauge my own insecurities. I’d also like to ask him which of his protagonists and antagonists were his favourite? After that I’d probably be too drunk to ask any follow-up questions and would quickly take my leave before I made a scene.

About the Author

Dan Cummings is a self-published author from Liverpool, England. He is also a lowly nerd with a short attention span and shorter fuse (depending on poor sleep), but when he is able to stop ranting with his own internal monologue and focus for a few minutes he enjoys putting the noise in his head on to paper. A lifetime fan of monsters, comic books, sarcasm and casual violence, it is inevitable that these constituents regularly crop up in his books. Heartbreaker is his first foray into horror, whilst Sparks: Welcome to the Madhouse, is the first instalment of an on-going supernatural, action/adventure series.
