After award-winning author Jordan Dane sold her first 3-books in auction to Avon/HarperCollins in June 2006, her debut title "NO ONE HEARD HER SCREAM" held more significance. Everyone heard her scream! And this went double when she sold another 3-book series in May 2007 without having one book on the shelves yet.

Ripped from the headlines, Jordan's gritty suspense plots weave a tapestry of vivid settings, intrigue, and dark humor. Her first back-to-back releases are planned for Apr, May and Jun 2008. Jordan and her husband now share their Oklahoma residence with an intelligent canine and two cats of highborn lineage.

Jordan was guest of honor at 7 virtual book tour stops sponsored by The Writer's Chatroom. If you missed the tour, visit these links to catch up.

As with most things, PJ Nunn's career started out as something else entirely.

With a Masters degree in psychology, she left a job teaching at multiple campuses of the Dallas County Community College District in the mid-1990's to become a freelance writer, but found that a few favors she was doing for friends—writing press releases and setting up book signings—was better suited to her talents and her drives. 

In 1998, she founded BreakThrough Promotions, now a national public relations firm helping authors, mostly of mystery novels, publicize themselves and their work. 

Even in such a short period of time, BreakThrough Promotions has become a respected firm, representing many distinguished authors, like Rhys Bowen, Elaine Viets and Denise Hamilton. The client list sometimes reaches 70 at a time, and BTP's staff has been as large as 15 associates. 

Nunn says she is most proud of the fact that BTP has grown each year it has been in business, and her fondness for authors means her client list has become something more than that—in a way, PJ Nunn is still helping her friends. 

PJ Nunn is the founder and president of BreakThrough Promotions.  She lives with her husband and some of their five children near Dallas, TX.

  Illona Haus announced her arrival in the world of crime fiction in the spring of 2005 with her acclaimed debut Blue Mercy – a gritty, edge-of-your-seat psychological-thriller featuring tough and savvy Homicide detective Kay Delaney. Set in Baltimore, Maryland, Haus’s novels are populated with compelling characters, made genuine by her personal connections and experience with the city’s Homicide Unit over many years.

It is Haus’s bold and unique voice, her unflinching eye for detail, and her cutting-edge research, that make the Kay Delaney series a world that is both intensely authentic and horrifyingly dark.

In Blue Justice - the third installment of the Delaney series - Kay and her partner Finn are faced with a terrifying case that hits too close to home: the abduction of a young detective by what appears to be a serial rapist. With little to go on, their investigation leads them down a horrifying path, uncovering twenty years of brutal rapes and tortures. And as the clock ticks on their fellow officer’s life, their hunt takes them from the seedy streets of Baltimore to the deep backwoods of the Catoctin Mountains, directly into the clutches of a sadistic killer who defies everything Kay thought she knew about the darkest side of human nature.

No one is certain whether Tosca Lee actually had the conversations with a demon that are captured in her upcoming release from NavPress, DEMON: A MEMOIR—and Tosca isn’t talking.
