JAYNE gets IN TOO DEEP

Wow, where did this year go? Thanksgiving coming up this week and then it's December and then it's 2011! A new year means a new book for me. And this year that book is IN TOO DEEP, the first book in the Looking Glass Trilogy. For those who follow me into my various Arcane worlds, this is Fallon's book.

I'll be doing only one signing for this book, that will be at Seattle Mystery Bookshop at noon on Tuesday, December 28th. If you'd like a signed copy (and a Collector's Packet) and you can't attend the event, you can reserve both by contacting the store at staff@seattlemystery.com or Phone: (206) 587-5737. They do a great job with mail orders and they'll be happy to send you a Collector's Packet as well. It works like this: I'll sign — and personalize if you wish — your copy while I'm in the store that Tuesday. Afterward, the friendly staff will mail the book and packet to you. Makes a great gift!

By the way, this year the special Collector's Packet includes a Jones & Jones pen. If you want to reserve a book with a packet check this list to see if there is a participating bookstore near you.

If there is no participating store near you or if you buy your books at another store or in electronic form, you can order a Collector's Packet by sending your receipt for the purchase of In Too Deep along with your name and address to:

Now, here's your first look at Fallon from IN TOO DEEP.

Fallon picked up midway through the first ring.

"What the hell is wrong?" he asked. "I knew I shouldn't have let your drive out there in this weather."

"I need backup," Isabella said.

"Huh. Don't tell me you found a real ghost."

"There's something in this house that needs to be found," Isabella said. "Not sure what, yet, but I don't think it's going to be anything good."

"What makes you say that?" Fallon asked.

"There's a basement involved."

I wish you all a Happy Thanksgiving!

Sincerely,

Jayne
