HELP!

Hello Readers!

The search for a title to my next thriller is on- again! We had a green light for ON THE EDGE, but now my publisher is thinking they want something really catchy and, well, edgier.

Help! No, really. You know my work the best. I’d love to hear your suggestions- and if one of them is chosen I’ll include a special thank you in the acknowledgments and send you a signed copy of the novel when it is published.

Here’s a short synopsis. Enter your title ideas in the comments section.

Thanks a million and good luck!

Stained glass restoration expert Mira Gallier is on the verge of having it all–again. The love of a good man. Professional success. And finally, after years of pain and turmoil, peace and emotional stability. But her perfect life, like the magnificent windows blown to bits by Hurricane Katrina, is about to be shattered. This time, however, it’s not a killer storm she faces, but a psychopath who will stop at nothing until he possesses her, body and soul. Set in my hometown of New Orleans, it will be released by St. Martin’s Press in Spring 2011.

Now available in UK!

Dear Reader,

It’s here! BLOOD VINES is in stores now!

I think of this story as vintage Spindler- gothic family relationships, kinky secrets, and straight-laced detective work.

Fingers are crossed this blend goes down as smoothly as your favorite cabernet!

Cheers!

A sinister, hooded figure…

When Alexandra Clarkson starts having terrifying visions filled with blood and ceremonial images, she tries to find a rational explanation - maybe her mind is playing tricks on her, resurrecting creepy tableaux from her research on religious ceremonies and sects. But when Alex’s mother, Patsy, commits suicide without leaving behind any information, Alex is left wondering: could she be haunted by something from the childhood she doesn’t remember?

Naked, writhing bodies…

Detective Daniel Reed was the last person to speak to Patsy. What he reveals to Alex is shocking. Twenty-five years earlier, Patsy was married to Harlan Sommer, one of Sonoma County’s most prominent vintners, when their infant son disappeared without a trace. The loss destroyed the Sommers’ marriage, causing Patsy to leave and take Alex with her.

Unearthed remains…

Called on to investigate the identity of a baby’s remains unearthed in a Sonoma vineyard, Reed had picked up a trail that led him to Patsy in San Francisco. Now Reed and Alex both wonder if the cold bones could be her baby brother Dylan, and Alex decides to accompany Reed back to Sonoma for the investigation. No sooner does she arrive, however, than she is drawn deep into the search for a twisted killer…

My UK publisher shared a pic of the London Tube campaign for BREAKNECK’s paperback release. Sales are great- thanks UK!

“Mind the Gap!”

Erica Spindler — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 14:21:18 +0000

I’m trying out British phrases in celebration of BREAKNECK’s paperback release in the UK. “Mind the Gap” is a warning for passengers to watch the gap between a train and the platform.

Starting today, release day-November 12- look for this poster in train, bus, and Tube stations.

I wish I could see them in person! If any of you are in London and spot one, please send a pic to comments@ericaspindler.com. You’d be my favorite fan! (But really, you’re all my favorites.)

The US paperback will be on shelves February 1!
