A new blog and a few other things that might be of interest

[Marta Stephens]

I'm very excited to announce the launch of my new blog called, SAM HARPER CRIME SCENE
http://samharpercrimescene.blogspot.com featuring none other than my
protagonist, homicide detective Sam Harper. The inspiration for this
blog came from readers and fans—I love it!

In an attempt to do something a different with this blog, I've
developed a series of short Harper stories to post in segments that
will continue for 3-4 weeks. Every few weeks I'll post the beginning
of a new story. Part one of DIRTY LITTLE SECRET will be posted on
Friday, January 9. I hope you'll enjoy the Harper Shorts. As always,
I look forward to your comments!

Other announcements:

My book cover (The Devil Can Wait) won November cover of the year
Erin Aislinn's website,

Also, THE DEVIL CAN WAIT is up for vote at the 2009 Preditors &
Editors readers' poll in the mystery section.
http://www.critters.org/predpoll/novelmys.shtml. There are lots of
familiar author names and book titles listed. Be sure to read through
all the categories and vote for your favorite read!
