The Past Never Ends Available for 99 Cents
Deadly Niche Press has, for a limited time, lowered the price of the Kindle and Nook versions of my legal mystery, The Past Never Ends, to 99 cents.
Author and CrimeSpace member Dana King writes in his review of the book, "What makes this book stand out for me is Burnett's deft handling of the courtroom scenes.

Wow, I never thought of Dracula as a legal thriller and you're so right. And while I know how great it is to get considered for an Edgar, it would've been a huge end zone dance if you'd won :) Next time...
If you've got a new book coming out - let me know. Maybe we can do something on my blog.
Thanks for friending me, Jackson :) When do you hear about the Edgars?
Thanks so much! I had a lot of fun writing it. I'm still trying to get the hang of things here on Crimespace. Hoping to add a lot to my TBR pile!

Welcome.
