The 80s.\u00a0Pittsburgh, PA.\u00a0A man’s world.<\/h4>\n

All Annie McGregor wanted was to nail a cheating husband and prove herself worthy of being more than a glorified bookkeeper.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

What she found when she opened the back door of the bar-of-the-night was so much more than she bargained for. A mutilated body that bore an eerie resemblance to her ex, and a stint in handcuffs.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Maybe becoming a private investigator wasn\u2019t in the cards. Even with the guidance of her boss, Mike Edwards, and the other investigators of the Edwards Agency, Annie struggled to close a case. Add in her run-ins with the local cops, and things got messy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Then bullets started flying. What really had her worried was that the second one wouldn\u2019t miss.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

It’s almost here!<\/h5>\n

If you follow my newsletter, you’ve already seen the cover, another fine creation from my cover artist, K.M. Guth. She had fun with this one, putting in as many clues to the story as she could. But first, q quick excerpt.<\/p>\n

Still, Coulson swept the apartment to make sure there were no unexpected visitors before allowing Annie to enter. She waited patiently by the front door while he checked her bedroom and the closets.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cAll clear,\u201d he reported when he returned. \u201cYou should be safe for the night, unless you invite me to stay.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

He reached out and touched her cheek. \u201cTell me to go home, Annie.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

She understood the offer and was tempted. It had been a long time since she\u2019d shared her bed. He\u2019d be a fine way to break her celibacy streak. But common sense shot that down.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cI had fun tonight, Coulson, but go home. That doesn\u2019t mean you can\u2019t come back another time.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re a smart woman, Annie McGregor.\u201d He started to leave but stopped with his hand on the doorknob. \u201cDon\u2019t let Mike give you a hard time. He\u2019s your boss, not your father.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

And now, the cover.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n


It’s different than anything she’s created for me and I love it. I’m looking forward to having a physical copy in my hands.<\/p>\n

Thanks for stopping by! As always, please stay safe until the next time.<\/p>\n\n\n
