InkSpot News - 10 May 2008


Jess Lourey is currently on a virtual blog tour promoting August Moon, the just-released fourth book in her Lefty-nominated Murder-by-Month series. Check out her website (www.jesslourey.com) for links to the tour and to learn about about August Moon and the Murder-by-Month series.

Tom Schreck's second Duffy Dombrowski Mystery, "TKO" has been released and is available at all the usual places. "On the Ropes", the first in the series was a finalist for Best First Mystery by Crimespree
Magazine and at the Love is Murder Convention where it was also nominated as Best Suspense Mystery.

Tom is featured on the cover of Crimespree this month along with fellow fighter and mystery writer Mike Black.

Tom is the guest author at the world famous Michigan Basset Waddle next weekend May 16-17 in Southfield Mi where thousands of bassets and their human food slaves will gather. Tom wants everyone to know that he was chosen over James Patterson and Stephen King. Tom will be signing books(and giving the proceeds to basset rescue) and is auctioning off a chance to name a character(dog or human) in his third Duffy mystery "Out Cold."
