The Series Continues - JERK Summary

 

The beta readers have made their suggestions. The editing is complete. The cover is being designed. It means it's finally time to announce to the world what the next chapter in Taggart McGill's story will be about. 

I present to you the back cover summary for Taggart McGill Mystery #2 - JERK. There might still be a few tweaks coming, but you can get the gist of the story. The release date is still scheduled for May 21st, with ARC's being distributed about a month prior.

Cover reveal coming soon! Stay tuned.

The Big Bang - Reveal Day

It's usual for authors to roll out a new book by staging multiple events ahead of launch day. Things such as a COVER REVEAL, BLURB REVEAL, PRE-ORDER DATES, etc. Well... I've decided to do mine a little differently. I'm revealing everything at the same time... TODAY. 

Welcome to the BIG BANG! And because followers of this blog have been with me the longest, it's only happening here first!

PRICK will be hitting the shelves on December 12th, but the ebook version is available for pre-order right now on Amazon for only .99 cents, but just until launch day.

This is my first Young Adult novel, but don't let that label fool you because adults will find this tale just as entertaining. Here's the blurb - 

___________________________________________________________________________________

People are dying under mysterious circumstances in the small town of New Haven. And the city’s best hope of uncovering the truth rests with a troubled teen and the girl who can't stand him.

Cassie Underwood’s life is shattered when her younger sister dies in a freak car accident. In her grief, Cassie unfairly blames her sister’s constant companion—Taggart McGill—a boy with a sketchy past and abrasive personality. As Cassie attempts to recover from the loss, she struggles to honor her late-sister’s memory by befriending the person she resents most.

Things get complicated when Cassie overhears a fellow student asking Taggart to convince the police another death in the accident had nothing to do with the crash at all. Taggart surprisingly agrees and a suspicious Cassie decides to accompany him in his snooping. She soon learns everything she knows about Taggart is wrong… and he has insight into things that link the car accident to other suspicious deaths in their close-knit community.

Is Taggart McGill the "prick" everyone says he is, or will uncovering his secrets be the key that keeps Cassie's name off the mounting list of victims?

I also have a brand-new website to support the new release (which is self-published) along with my existing books. Here's the link:
