Another letter from blog, where fresh coffee is on and the blueberry muffins have just come out of the oven.
Yum.
Update. In the Arms of the Enemy is still scheduled for release in February. The marketing department is scheduling book signings, are sending out flyers, press releases and have sent me spendid bookmarks for hand-outs. I thought I'd laminate them and attach a long pretty ribbon. Should be nice.
I've never been to a book signing. I suppose I should find one in my area and go to observe. I wonder how many people will show up, how many books we'll sell, whether I will get tendonitis etc. Yeah right. Like who's ever heard of Patricia A. Guthrie, romantic suspense author.
I do hope the subject matter might interest some people though. It was inspired by the insurance scams going on several years ago (may still be going on) where unscrupuloius horsemen would arrange for their horses murder and then would collect insurance money.
It was awful. A real scandal here in Illinois. And several prominent horsement over the years have been murdered. Whether as a direct result or indirect result, I can not say. I do think it was rather well organized
In the Arms of the Enemy is about Jonathan Adam Blakely a man who's just lost his father from a heart attack, when his dad was implicated in killing his prize race horse and the horse's trainer. When law enforcement had closed the case, he wants to clear his dad's name and goes undercover following the trail.
Unfortunately, he falls in love with his chief suspect, the feisty and beautiful ex-partner of the trainer, Maggie McGregor. Pushing through a sea of deception and lies, both must learn to trust each other, because, as they discover, they are both on the killer's hit list.
So, there you have it. It's not a long, long book. It was originally written with Harlequin Intrigue in mind. When that didn't work out, and several rewrites later, it was picked up by the new and wonderful Light Sword Publishing Company, a small press out of Michigan. A young company, these people are hungry, aggressive and marketing wizzes.
I'm learning.
Meanwhile, my next book, Water Lilies over my Grave is in its second draft.
I'd dearly love to figure out how to link up my blog to my website. www.patriciaanneguthrie.com
