She’s back, pimpin’ out notable new releases to place on your radar!
EITHER YOU’RE IN OR YOU’RE IN THE WAY: TWO BROTHERS, TWELVE MONTHS, AND ONE FILMMAKING HELL-RIDE TO KEEP A PROMISE TO THEIR FATHER by Logan and Noah Miller — When identical twin brothers Logan and Noah Miller’s homeless father died alone in a jail cell, they vowed, come hell or high water, that their film, TOUCHING HOME, would be made as a dedication to their love for him. This is the story of how — without a dime to their names nor a single meaningful contact in Hollywood — they managed to write, produce, direct and act in a feature film alongside four-time Academy Award-nominated actor Ed Harris and fellow nominees Brad Dourif and Robert Forster. It tells of the desperate struggle of two sons fighting to keep a vow to their father, and in so doing, creating a better life for themselves.
MARY JANE’S GRAVE by Stacy Dittrich — According to legend, Mary Jane was hanged as a witch and still haunts her grave. But when a teenage girl is found brutally murdered there, Detective CeeCee Gallagher knows no ghost is responsible. It’s up to her to hunt down the very real killer before he strikes again. Her investigation will take her across the country and land her deep in the middle of a secret so shocking the locals have kept it hidden for a hundred years. With her career — and her life — on the line, CeeCee will have to face her darkest fears if she wants to uncover the truth about … Mary Jane’s Grave.
THE GOD MACHINE by J.G. Sandom — The coded journal of Benjamin Franklin. A hidden map. A legendary gospel. These are the first pieces to an ancient puzzle so powerful, it could destroy the very foundation of Christianity. Once before, Joseph Koster unearthed one of the church’s most deeply buried secrets … and it almost cost him his life. But some treasures are too hard to resist. And as Koster puts the pieces of the puzzle together, he discovers something even more startling … and infinitely more deadly. Now, along with a beautiful engineer, Savita Sajan, Koster must race to decode Franklin’s journal before it falls into the hands of those who would do anything, kill anyone, to suppress it. But in a world of secret societies, ancient conspiracies and Masonic puzzles, locating the prize is one thing … staying alive, another.
CARELESS IN RED by Elizabeth George — Devastated by the senseless murder of his wife, Detective Superintendent Thomas Lynley retreated to Cornwall, where he has spent six solitary weeks hiking the bleak and rugged coastline. But no matter how far he walks, the painful memories do not diminish. Then, at the base of a cliff near a town better known for its surfing than its intrigue, Lynley discovers the body of a young man who has fallen to his death. First a witness, then a suspect when the hand of a killer is revealed, Lynley remains, above all, a policeman willing to aid the gruff head of an understaffed local constabulary in her investigation. But the secrets in this community run dark and deep — and Lynley must somehow find a way to let go of the past long enough to solve a most devious and dreadful crime.
THE PATRIOT WITCH by C.C. Finlay — The year is 1775. Minuteman Proctor Brown appears to be an ordinary young man working the family farm in New England. Yet Proctor is so much more. Magic is in his blood, a dark secret passed down from generation to generation. But Proctor’s mother has taught him to hide his talents, lest he be labeled a witch and find himself dangling at the end of a rope. A chance encounter with an arrogant British officer bearing magic of his own catapults Proctor out of his comfortable existence and into the adventure of a lifetime, as resistance sparks rebellion and rebellion becomes revolution. Now, Proctor finds himself enmeshed in a secret war of magic against magic, witch against witch.

Thanks for the notice. Much appreciated. I’m also running a book promotion:
THE GOD MACHINE READERS’ CONTEST
The book business, like so many others, is in trouble these days. So, I’m turning to my loyal readers to help me get the word out about THE GOD MACHINE. By participating in this Readers’ Contest, they’re becoming part of the book launch, part of the book experience, and authors–in a very real sense–of the book’s success.
How do you enter to win? It’s easy.
Every time you blog about THE GOD MACHINE, Tweet about the book to your “followers” on Twitter, or write a review on Amazon.com, Barnesandnoble.com or Borders.com, you’ll be entered into the drawing for the Grand Prize.
Post one of my GOD MACHINE e-Postcards on your blog and you’ll be entered twice. Create and send me a new e-Postcard based on the book and you’ll be entered 5 times!
If you read my book in your book group and have me speak to your group via Skype (or phone), you–and everyone else in your group–will be entered into the drawing.
If you attend one of my readings, you’ll be entered into the drawing.
And, if you put together a book trailer for THE GOD MACHINE suitable for posting on YouTube, you’ll receive 10 entries into the drawing!
1. The Grand Prize is $500, plus a live, personal video (or phone) reading from THE GOD MACHINE by yours truly for you and your friends, and a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
2. Second Prize is a brand-spanking-new Kindle 2 book reader (from Amazon), plus a personal Skype video (or phone) reading and a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
3. Third Prize is a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE, plus a personal Skype video (or phone) reading.
4. And Fourth Prize is a free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
I will draw ONE name for the $500 Grand Prize. I will then look to see who has the most entries and–if I didn’t draw his/her name as the winner of the Grand Prize–s/he will win the Second Prize: that brand-new Kindle 2. The person with the second highest number of entries will win the Third Prize: the personal Skype reading and free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE. And the person with the third highest level of entries will win the Fourth Prize: the free autographed copy of THE GOD MACHINE.
The contest will begin on May 1st (3 days following the release of THE GOD MACHINE on April 28th), and will run through the end of July, concluding at midnight on July 31st. All winners will be announced in my August “What’s New!” post. For details, go to http://www.jgsandom.com.
