A big hello to all you readers!
Thought I would let you know that Hearts and Flowers Border has been rereleased through Ylva Publishing (amazon, smashwords and Bella books). Sometimes I find it hard to believe that it has been nine years since I wrote her. Seems like only yesterday that I thought I would like to try to write a story, and now look. Hearts has been revamped and dusted down for 2014 and I can't stop smiling.
So, to celebrate her release, I am offering two signed copies of Hearts and some signed postcards. All you have to do is either come along to my facebook page https://www.facebook.com/pages/LT-Smith/535475523205666 , like and / or leave a comment, or drop me a line at fingersmith@hotmail.co.uk . This giveaway is open until 11:59 pm Sunday 20 th April 2014.
One of the signed books with be randomly picked, however, the second book is a little more of a challenge. You have to try and guess the book that has been used on the cover of my book. Sound confusing? Not really. Just have a guess. A stab in the dark. A momentary relapse. Anything. Just have a go. Runners up will get a postcard.
Good luck. And thank you SO much for supporting me for all of these years.

Announcement from Geonn Cannon
At long last, the final novel in Claire Lance's long road has arrived!
In 2008, Claire Lance was a detective whose cover was blown by a vicious criminal who chose to make her suffer rather than killing her outright. Accused of murdering her girlfriend, Lance is forced to go on the run. Her flight has taken her from Chicago to Texas, up to Montana and through a bank robbery in Washington. After her last attempt to settle down and start a new life blew up in her face, Lance is once again on the road trying to stay one step ahead of the law.
In What Matter Wounds, Lance and her partner Jodie take to the road together, wandering through the southwest with no particular destination in mind. In the middle of the Nevada desert, they stumble across something neither of them can ignore and walk into the middle of a local sheriff's private kingdom. Offended by the abuse of power the cops display, Lance takes it upon herself to take the sheriff out of power no matter what the cost.
Meanwhile unlikely forces from Lance's past align, shedding new light on Elaine's murder and Lance's alibi. FBI Agent Faye Mallory takes it upon herself to tie everything together and, she hopes, put an end to Lance's running for good. But with Lance facing one of her most brutal enemies to date, her luck may already be running out.

e Bundle Price: $ 9.99 - all eBook formats
Available at Amazon Barnes and Noble Kobo Smashwords
Tragedy and heartbreak drive Dana McComb to a Caribbean island where she sets about to becoming a hermit. Settling into numbness seems to be the only way to suppress the psychic visions that once showed her the death of her soul mate. A failed rebound relationship leaves her even more intent on losing herself in the loneliness of her isolated house on the hill. With her middle-aged, beef jerky obsessed Tom cat, Dana vows to live a life devoid of ups and downs. Making fun of her own state of mind, she and her best buddy start “The Love Sucks Club” which is really just a euphemism for sitting around bitching about their own bitterness about love.
Trying to stay wrapped in her own misery starts to fail when Dana's pesky younger sister and a host of other island misfits insist on poking into her best laid plans for comfort. When a new woman shows up on island, bringing back Dana's visions, she is suddenly besieged by night terrors, vivid hallucinations, and panic attacks. Half-convinced she's going crazy, Dana tries to shut out her past with increasing difficulty. Aware that it may be the only way to put her dead lover to rest, Dana begins a journey that could either shatter her life or save it. |
