Hi, everyone and congratulations to Cynthia on her new e-book releases! I can’t wait to read them.

Speaking of e-books, I’ve recently given e-book publishing a try (smooth transition, huh?). My three earliest romantic suspense titles were published by Five Star in the early 2000s and have long been out of print, so I was thrilled when e-pubbing became so easy – and inexpensive. When these three were first released, they were a whopping $27.95 each. Can you believe that? As e-books, they’re only 99 cents, so this time there’s no second mortgage required to check them out. Here’s the rundown:

CAUGHT IN THE ACT (a 2004 Rita and Daphne finalist): Jessie Rhoades moved to Florida to start a new, simple life. But things get very complicated when the newspaper where she is an editor publishes a huge story that turns out to be a hoax. On top of that, freelance reporter Clay Christopher is snooping around her professional and personal lives. When two of the bogus story’s main sources turn up dead, everything is on the line — hearts, lives and careers — as Jessie and Clay race to uncover the truth before anyone else dies. (Kindle; Nook; Smashwords)

FOUND WANTING (a 2005 Daphne finalist): Detective Mitch Kane is hired by millionaire Layton Keller to find his son and the woman who took the boy fourteen years ago. But Mitch soon discovers that Alaina Chancellor isn’t anything like he expected. Before he knows it, the boy has been kidnapped and Mitch is protecting Alaina from hit men while trying to help her get Jonah back. But Alaina has been hurt before, and she doesn’t trust anyone easily, especially a detective hired by her son’s father. Unfortunately, she has no choice but to rely on Mitch, and as they race to save Jonah, they discover that both their lives have been found wanting. (Kindle; Nook; Smashwords)

RELATIVE STRANGERS: When Meg Grant moves to Florida, all she wants is a fresh start and to find the family she never knew. Ryan Kama wants justice for his murdered brother. And Margot Rhinehart wants to escape her life as a jewel thief. All three lives collide when Margot goes on the run, and Meg, who looks remarkably like her, ends up being stalked by a host of bad guys. Her only salvation is Ryan, who doesn’t know what to believe as the woman he thinks helped get his brother killed proclaims her innocence. Suspense and romance ensue. (Kindle; Nook; Smashwords)

Did I mention that all three are only 99 cents each? You can read excerpts of these and my Berkley paperbacks at JoyceWrites.com.

Speaking of my Berkley paperbacks (another smooth transition!): In honor of Cynthia’s releases, I’m giving a random commenter here the first two books in my True trilogy (as a set): TRUE VISION (a 2010 Daphne winner) and TRUE COLORS. The Trues follow three sisters who end up in deep trouble when their latent – and powerful – empathic psychic abilities are awakened. More info and excerpts at JoyceWrites.com.
