Julie Kramer's debut novel Stalking Susan is up for three debut awards at Bouchercon this October in Indianapolis.
A Shamus Award nomination for Best First PI Novel just came in. The honor is given by the Private Eye Writers of America for protagonists who are paid to do their own investigative legwork, but are not employed by the government. So while journalists like her heroine, Riley Spartz, are eligible, cops and amateurs are not.
Stalking Susan is also a finalist for two other mystery awards--the Anthony and Barry Awards--both for Best First Novel. Registered attendees will vote for the Anthony winners during the giant mystery convention. The Barry Awards are sponsored by Mystery News and Deadly Pleasures.
Winners for the Shamus will be announced at a banquet Friday night, Oct. 16. Winners for the Anthony and Barry will be announced at a reception Saturday afternoon.
I'm very pleased to announce that both Czech and German rights to Freezing Point have been sold. My German publisher is Droemer Knaur, the largest publisher of thrillers in that country. The German edition of Freezing Point will be paperback, and the Czech will be hardcover. It's very exciting to think that my novel will be published in languages I don't even read!
Hello my debut friends and seekers of thrill!
I'm particularly thrilled that my cross-genre debut Gothic Victorian Fantasy Romance Novel, The Strangely Beautiful Tale of Miss Percy Parker, first in the Strangely Beautiful series, releases today!
From the back cover:
What fortune awaited sweet, timid Percy Parker at Athens Academy? Considering how few of Queen Victoria's Londoners knew of it, the great Romanesque fortress was dreadfully imposing, and little could Percy guess what lay inside. She had never met the powerful and mysterious Professor Alexi Rychman, knew nothing of the growing shadow, the Ripper and other supernatural terrors against which his coterie stood guard. She knew simply that she was different, haunted, with her snow-white hair, pearlescent skin and uncanny gifts. But this arched stone doorway offered a portal to a new life, an education far from the convent--and an invitation to an intimate yet dangerous dance at the threshold of life and death...
