Since FALLEN STAR came out last week, I’ve been bombarded with messages from scammers pretending to be famous authors, just wanting to be my pal. Fake JK Rowling wanted to co-author books with me… but first asked me to donate to her favorite charity. Fake Barbara Kingsolver wanted me to meet her marketing guru.

Fallen Star, the sixth Eve Ronin novel, is coming out on October 14. That’s just two weeks away.
You can preorder it now in hardcover, paperback, ebook or audio from Amazon, or in hardcover and paperback from Indiebound, Barnes & Noble, or your favorite bookseller. But if you want signed copies of Fallen Star, you need to contact Debbie Mitsch at the Mystery Ink bookstore (mysteryink@hotmail.com) before Oct. 21st to get one.
