Killer February

I'm thrilled to be able to brag about my friends and fellow Killer Yearbies Patry Francis and Robert Gregory Browne whose novels were just released!


About The Liar's Diary by Patry Francis, Tess Gerritson said, "Patry Francis is a sly and seductive writer, and in THE LIAR'S DIARY she inexorably sucks you in for a twisting ride full of dangerous curves and jaw-dropping surprises. This is one of my favorite reads of the year!"

In The Liar's Diary, a teenage boy is arrested for a particularly brutal murder. His mother seeks to learn the truth, and finds herself increasingly ensnared in a web of lies.


In Kiss Her Goodbye by Robert Gregory Browne, ATF agent Jack Donovan is just getting reacquainted with his estranged daughter, Jessie, when a ruthless gunrunner kidnaps her and buries her alive. With the clock ticking, Jack soon realizes that the only way he can save her is to follow a killer into the darkness of death itself.

Gayle Lynds said, "From rich characters to heart-pounding suspense, KISS HER GOODBYE explores not only the deadly terrain of murder but the nuances of the soul. It’s a first-rate novel that will glue you to your chair until you finish the last satisfying word."

Congratulations, Patry and Rob, on exciting and fabulous debuts. May these be the first of many!
