Whitcoulls Top 100 - Angels' Blood

 

A while ago I did a Facebook post asking readers to vote for Angels' Blood in New Zealand bookstore chain Whitcoulls Top 100 list. I said that if it made it onto the list, I’d take photos in Whitcoulls stores complete with wings? Well, it has begun!!

THANK YOU SO MUCH for voting!! I can’t believe that my 2009/2010 (international) book baby is on the list!! 

Huge thanks also to Lucy from Whitcoulls St Lukes Mall (Auckland) who was so welcoming and asked me to sign all the Guild Hunter books they had in stock. Go grab your signed copies before they run out!

In case you were wondering, I was not the least bit normal while taking these photos. See pics to get a few glimpses of my shenanigans. 

More photos to come over the year, because these wings, they’re traveling.

Travels in New Zealand

 

Alt text: Image from a high point of a beautiful blue green sound (similar to a fjord), with still water in the center and mountains all around, some topped by clouds. The water weaves through the sound, in and around the mountains and the small island in the middle.

A pic from my most recent adventure around New Zealand. There was hiking involved. I have to say the views made it worth the effort! What’s your idea of a fun vacation…and does it involve hiking boots? 

Such A Perfect Family

 

Alt Text: Detective Notes. Date: Dec 3rd. Time: 08:10. Subject: Second interview with Jason Musgrave. Man immediately began to shout that if hte accident was suspicious, we needed to look at "that f**king Romeo who conned her out of at leas a quarter of a million! He probably thinks he's in her will!" Per Jason, the name of the "Romeo" is Tavish Advani. Detective Notes. Date: Dec 5th. Time: 20:18. Subject: Case Status. Forensic mechanic refuses to speculate on anything to do with the Musgrave vehicle, but he did admit that he's already spotted signs of tampering. Case is now a homicide in my books. Perez agrees. Detective Notes. Date: Dec 21st. Time: 14:27. Subject: Lunch with Detective Gina Garcia. Gina did look at Advani as a suspect in the Jocelyn Wai case. Off the record, she stated that "If he did it, he a brilliant psychopath. Scariest thing is he was only twenty-three when Jocelyn died. If you're right about him being involved in Virna Musgrave's death, that's two women in the space of, what, three years? What's the word for an unmarried black widower?" - Uncover the truth in Such A Perfect Family.

Meet Tavish Advani. Handsome enough to be a movie star. Sweep-you-off-your-feet romantic. And with a fatal track record in love...
