I’m excited to announce that a new novella will be released early in 2019. For those who may not be familiar with the term, a novella is longer than a short story but shorter than a novel.

It features FBI Special Agent Nathan Harris and it’s called Never So Alone. Those who are familiar with the Marcie Kane Thriller Collection will know that Nathan is introduced in Book 2 – A Perilous Question, but this book takes place prior to that.

Here’s the blurb:

A massive explosion levels a barn near a quiet picturesque town on the Canadian prairies. Nathan Harris, an FBI Special Agent on a joint operation with the RCMP narrowly escapes while working undercover to find the people behind an illegal drug lab. The blast is no accident. But why? Have the people he’s working with discovered his identity? Did someone at the highest level of authority betray him? His investigation points to a similar operation in the U.S., but if he follows the lead, who can he trust? Meanwhile, his relationship at home is on the rocks. He has never felt so alone. Despite the danger, the questions must be answered before he can know the truth.

Here’s the cool part:

I’m offering the first 25 people who respond to this email the opportunity to read an advance copy and participate in the cover design.

WHAT DO I GET?

The first 25 people responding will receive in return:

A PDF version of the book. It should be ready in 2-3 weeks.
An opportunity to vote on the cover. Three options will be available for review
A signed copy of the published book when it’s released with an inscription of your choice.

WHAT’S THE CATCH?

There’s always a trick, right? Of course there is. Nothing is free in this world. All I would like you to do is complete an honest review of the book and post it on Amazon the week the book is published. The review can be as short or long as you like. It would be even more amazing if you could share the book on social media the week it’s published, but only if you’re comfortable doing that.

ANY OTHER TRICKS?

Well, yes, but blame it on Amazon. They have strict policies that must be adhered to, so please abide by them. The two that apply are:

To be allowed to review a book, you must have purchased at least $50 worth of product from Amazon at some point, and,
If you are a relative or close friend, you are not eligible. Even though a relative or close friend might be more critical, Amazon automatically deems you to be biased. So, relatives and close friends, you know who you are and sorry, but you’re disqualified. Oh, what the heck, if you promise to share the book on social media, I’ll send you the covers and an advance copy as well.

OKAY, I’M IN

If you’re interested, comment HERE and tell me you’re in. I’ll send the PDF and covers to vote on when they’re ready, and let you know the publication date. When you’ve posted the review, you can send me your address and I’ll forward the free signed print copy of the book.

I look forward to hearing from you.
