Hello Readers, Friends, and Fans!
Thank you all for the outpouring of congratulations when I learned that Now You Die has been nominated for the 2009 RITA™ Award for Best Romantic Suspense. I am psyched to be a finalist once again! The competition is fierce, but, oh, to be on that elite short list with so many friends and terrific bestselling authors is truly an honor. And, of course, I’m dress shopping for the award ceremony in Washington, DC this July.
Attention Bargain Shoppers!! I have some good news if you’re just thinking about becoming a Bullet Catcher fan or you’re only now discovering the series. On May 26, Pocket Books is reissuing all three books in the 2008 trilogy at a specially reduced cover price of $4.99 each. The books will be in the usual retailers, so look for First You Run, Then You Hide, and Now You Die throughout the month of June for only $4.99 a book. If you’ve missed one or you’re dying to buy the whole set, now’s the time. They’re available online but be sure to purchase the $4.99 version of the books. (Look for a little colored starburst on the cover that says “Great Book! Great Price!”) And, once again, kudos and mad love to Pocket Books for doing so many wonderful promotions to get the Bullet Catchers in the hands of happy readers. (Really, there’s no better place for these guys.)
I’m so pleased to announce that the wait for new covers is finally over! And, whoa, my back-to-back 2009 releases, Hunt Her Down and Make Her Pay have been kissed by the cover gods! Don’t be fooled by the change in packaging from high suspense to majorly hawt man flesh: these are Bullet Catcher books through and through. Expect danger, suspense, tension, passion, drama, twists, turns, and, yeah, some realllllllly sexy bodyguards and security specialists and the spunky women who bring them to their knees.
And here are two brief excerpts to whet your appetite. The hero of Hunt Her Down is fan favorite Dan Gallagher, who, when the book opens, has just taken a leave of absence from the Bullet Catchers. Off to lick his wounds? Not our Dan. He’s about to tie up some loose threads…and gets seriously tangled up in them. Hunt Her Down hits bookstores on August 25, 2009.
Just four short weeks later on September 29, 2009, Make Her Pay introduces a whole new Bullet Catcher. Actually Constantine Xenakis (a few have asked how that’s pronounced: like ZEN-akis – he’s Greek!) is first introduced in Hunt Her Down as a enigmatic secondary character who may or may not be the target of Dan’s investigation. Con is a former Navy SEAL, but he’s also a former Bullet Catcher and he wants something only Lucy Sharpe can give him: redemption. How far will he go to get it? And what if one wily little thief decides to get in his way? Will he…Make Her Pay? Check out their first meeting here.
While we wait (seemingly forever, I know) for the new releases, I’m writing the 2010 Bullet Catcher books, traveling to promote the series, hanging poolside with the family, and spending a little too much time on the internet. I’m hooked on twitter, so please follow me there – www.twitter.com/roxannestclaire, and I’ve finally joined the 21st century and have a Facebook page, so come and be my friend. I’m there, and on myspace, under Roxanne St. Claire. I’ve been blogging on www.murdershewrites.com, a group blog full of terrifically talented romantic suspense writers. Stop by – I’m on deck every other Tuesday.
And the free Bullet Catcher bookmark giveaway continues! Just email me with your name and snail mail address and you will receive a free personalized and autographed Bullet Catcher bookmark. I love to hear from readers, so drop me a note anytime! I answer every letter personally and it usually doesn’t take too long…depending on how much time I’m spending by the pool and on twitter!
Hope your summer days are full of sunshine and great books!
xoxo
