Crime Writer R. Barri Flowers signs Three Book Deal with Urban Books
ITW mystery novelist and criminologist R. Barri Flowers has signed with Urban Books to write three mainstream suspense novels under the pseudonym Devon Vaughn Archer. The first suspense novel, THE SECRETS OF PARADISE BAY, is about two brothers and the woman that comes between them while a vengeful minded man plots the murder of all three. It will be released as a trade paperback in July 2010, while the second novel, THE HITMAN'S WOMAN, will come out a year later.
Urban Books are distributed by Kensington Publishing. As a criminologist, Flowers has also signed with Praeger to write a hardcover nonfiction book, PROSTITUTION IN THE DIGITAL AGE. It is scheduled for release in 2011.
"I enjoy moving back and forth between writing mystery fiction and crime nonfiction," said Flowers, who recently edited the American Crime Writers League anthology, MURDER PAST, MURDER PRESENT. "It allows me to tap into my creative juices and imagination on the one side, while using my criminology background to bring credibility to my novels and nonfiction projects."
