  • Sometimes...Secrets Are the Real Crime

    It's not a secret any more! Reno McCarthy's latest adventure, Every Secret Crime is available for purchase. If it's not on the shelves of your local bookstore (find a local independent bookstore here), you can always find it online at Amazon or at Barnes and Noble, as well as many other internet retailers like Powell's, Target and Wal-Mart.

    Would you help me sell Every Secret Crime? No, you don't have to hit the streets with a bag full of books! In fact, you can do it right from your chair. Here's how:

    Please call the Adult Reader Services desk at your local library and ask them to order a copy of Every Secret Crime if they haven't done so already. By making that simple request, you'll give my marketing efforts a boost without even leaving home!

I couldn't be more pleased that Five Star agreed to publish Every Secret Crime. Many friends are already Five Star authors: Tom Keevers, Michael Black, Julie Hyzy, David Case and D.C Brod, to name just a few. In the interim before Reno returns, in fact, I urge you to pick up their books. They are all wonderful authors. In addition, my dear friend and Crime Scene at the Library co-creator Linda Mickey has published her latest book, Horse Power. It's a great read and available on Amazon.com!
