Eight Crime Writing Authors and a Giveaway

 

Have you heard of the Behind The Crime Tape Facebook group? We are eight crime authors who have banded together in a Facebook group to share stories about what happens behind the crime tape.* To start the blog in the best possible way we are having a hop--a Facebook Hop--on February 23^rd that will continue into  this evening. No poodle skirt required. Every author is participating with a giveaway on their page, and there'll be a grand prize offered on the Behind the Crime Tape page. It doesn't get much better than this if you are a fan of crime fiction! A bit about the authors—and the giveaway follows--pictures included.

 *Is there a name for a group of crime writers? A murder of authors? A cabal of crime writers? Oh, how about a plot! That's it, a plot! A plot of crime writers. Perfect.

When a badly decomposed body is found in the basement of an abandoned warehouse, Erie police detective, Matthias Honeywell, is called in to investigate.

National award-winning writer Penny Goetjen is the author of six published mystery and suspense novels where the settings play as prominent a role as the engaging characters. A self-proclaimed eccentric known for writing late into the night by the allure of flickering candlelight, she often weaves a subtle, unexpected paranormal twist into her stories. When her husband is asked how he feels about his wife doing in innocent people with the written word, he answers with a wink, “I sleep with one eye open.”

 THE WOMAN UNDERWATER

In the seven years since Victoria’s husband disappeared, no witnesses have stepped forward and no credible evidence has been collected—not even his car. He simply vanished from behind the stone walls of a private boarding school where he taught—the same school their son now attends. But someone has to know what happened. And that someone may be closer to Victoria than she realizes.

DEATH DIVE 

Hayden Kent has more riding on the answer to the mystery than curiosity. She believes the diver faked his death. As a paralegal and newly minted claims investigator, it’s her job to decide if her company pays out the thirty-million-dollar policy. 

 When her trip to Belize uncovers evidence of fraud, she returns to her beloved Florida Keys and digs deeper into the dead man’s affairs. Her boss’s advice to follow the money sends her to the Cayman Islands where privacy is king, and secrets can be deadly. Hayden’s inquiries put her in the cross-hairs of a killer who will stop at nothing to claim the thirty million. Can she prove the dead man lives before she ends up as shark bait?
