Be a Character in My Next Novel

Copper Lake

Grand Prize Giveaway
COPPER LAKE BOOK 3 - Stutter Creek Suspense series

Can Detective Kendra Dean solve the crimes of this sadistic killer, or will she become another of his strange tattoos?

If you would like to WIN THE GRAND PRIZE (which means you could be a character in my next novel), simply sign up for my Every-now-and-then Newsletter right over there

I'll let Random.org choose the winner on Valentine's Day. That's all there is to it. I'll send the winner an email asking what name he/she would like their character to go by (could even be a nickname), and then I'll let you know when it's released in the next few months.

The bones were wet and cold. The clay in the soil trapped the moisture as efficiently as a layer of mulch in a flower bed. When Edgar held the femur up to the moonlight, he was thrilled to observe how fully the dirt and mold had settled into the cuts. It created an inky labyrinthine abstract on the once-white surface. He caressed the soil around the bones, and then lifted the rest of them from their shallow bed.
