So... despite falling behind with my website, I have been working. The eighth Rowland Sinclair Mystery, A Dangerous Language will be released in Australia in October, and Miles off Course in the US in June. I'm immersed in writing book 9 at the moment. And in between I wrote something else...
Crossing the Lines will be released internationally (the US and Australia) in August. The novel is a departure from my other work. It's a strange little story about the relationship between writers and their protagonists, about what happens when the lines between life and art are crossed and imagination becomes a better reality.
To be honest I've been quite overwhelmed by the early reaction to this book.
A tour de force! Crossing the Lines is a brilliant blend of mystery, gut-wrenching psychological suspense and literary storytelling. The novel stands as a shining (and refreshing) example of meta-fiction at its best--witty and wry, stylish and a joy to read.
-Jeffery Deaver
"A delightful, cerebral novel featuring a crime writer who grows dangerously enamored with her main character. As the interplay between creator and created reaches Russian-nesting-doll complexity, it forces us to question the nature of fiction itself."
-Gregg Hurwitz, New York Times bestelling author of Orphan X and The Nowhere Man
I wrote it because the idea niggled at me, demanded to be written and when it was I wasn't sure if anyone would like it. Needless to say I'm delighted, relieved and still a little scared.
The novel will be published by Poisoned Pen Press in the US and Pantera Press in Australia. As such it has two different and wonderful covers.
