Presenting . . .

…the newest cover!

Welcome to Pepper Martin’s world. In the fifth installment of her adventures, she’s in charge of restoring a rundown cemetery, and as if that’s not enough to complicate her already not-so-simple life, she’s doing it with a team of probationers, the project is being filmed for a TV series called Cemetery Survivor and oh yes, there’s a ghost roaming the grounds who needs her help.

Twenty-give years ago, that ghost was convicted of a murder he didn’t commit, and now he wants Pepper to clear his name and give his widow peace. Trouble is, if she does that, she’ll have to find out who’s really guilty . . . and that person will do anything to make sure the secret never comes out, even if it means putting Pepper out of commission–forever.

Dead Man Talking will be on store shelves October 6.

3. Don’t take this the wrong way, but based on the reproduction on the website, this cover has more of that classic pulp fiction painted look. I like that. But Pepper in jeans? Uh oh! What can be interpreted from that? On a real pulp cover, that would make Pepper a “bad girl.” Has our hero taken a turn towards the dark side? Guess I’ll have to read to find out.

4. Pepper a bad girl? Never! Actually in this book she’s working on a restoration project in a down-on-its-luck city cemetery. She’s actually getting her hands dirty…pulling weeds…planting flowers…will our heroine ever be the same?????
