Dawn, author of Everything I Miss At Home
(Xlibris)

Everything I Miss At Home is a sexy and dramatic thrill ride that’s emotional highs and lows race like a roller coaster. Karma, lust, ambition, greed, and life collide as fading athlete Nikki Brown, her corporate-upstart girlfriend Erin Powell, and Erin’s sexy assistant Devyn McAllister play winner take all with life, and each other.

The debut novel from author Dawn is a deliciously addictive narrative that feels like a dark fantasy solidly in touch with real life. Dawn effortlessly directs Everything I Miss At Home from the boardroom, to the bedroom, and to the streets crafting a suspenseful, salacious, and soul-stirring look at love and life through the character’s eyes.

Each perspective is distinct, raw, edgy, and unfiltered as the intimacy of each character comes alive off page after page.

Joey Pinkney: Where did you get the inspiration to write Everything I Miss At Home?

Dawn: Art and life was the muse. I had to develop rust in my imagination even when it had a twisted feel to it. The realness of Everything I Miss At Continue reading 5 Minutes, 5 Questions With… Dawn, author of Everything I Miss At Home →

Robert Dugoni, author of Murder One
(Touchstone/Simon and Schuster)

Murder One is the fourth novel in the David Sloane series. Thirteen months after the murder of his wife, Sloane makes an appearance at a legal event. He runs into a former adversary, Barclay Reid. Reid is suffering from her own tragedy, the loss of her daughter to a drug overdose. When the dealer responsible walks from a federal courtroom, Reid turns to Sloane to go after the dealer in a civil action.

Sloane is reluctant as he is developing feelings for Reid. Sloane takes on the case. Before it gets going, the dealer is found with a bullet in the back of his head and all the evidence points to Reid. Now Reid wants Sloane, the “lawyer who does not lose”, to defend her. Sloane reluctantly agrees but soon finds Reid to be a woman of many secrets.

Reviewers are calling the book a cross between Presumed Innocent and Basic Instinct.
