51shpmooJ5LBook Description:

Amber Fox has been making too many mistakes, and something’s got to give… 

For starters, Amber accidentally shoots Chief Inspector Janice Skipper and gets thrown off the police force. Oops! Then, she accepts a job as an insurance investigator from her ex-fiancé, Brad Beckett. Only Brad thinks they’ve still got unfinished business in the romance department, making for a steamier working environment than Amber counted on. And when fashion designer, Umberto Fandango, goes missing, Amber’s investigative skills are put to the ultimate test. Nothing about the case is what it seems, and to make matters worse Amber’s arch-enemy, Chief Inspector Skipper, is also investigating the disappearance. If Amber wants her old job back, she’s in a race against time to solve the mystery before Skipper does… all the while dodging her ex-fiancé, her own mixed up feelings, and a couple of crazy mobsters. 

Who is Umberto Fandango? Is…

author photoDo you try more to be original or to deliver to readers what they want?

Definitely original.  I just write the stories narrated by the characters in my head.  I never set out planning what to write – they completely determine the path.

If you could tell your younger writing self anything, what would it be?

Start earlier!  Study the craft, research, and get started writing.

FACEBOOK USERS – HERE IS AN ISSUE TO BE AWARE OF…

Chris The Story Reading Ape's avatarChris The Story Reading Ape's Blog

I received the following message this morning, from Victoria Zigler, who is a registered blind writer and uses Facebook.

Hi Chris,

I wondered if you could post the following to make people aware of the issue:

“I noticed recently that Facebook started having background options for posts.

When you create a post on Facebook, it has an option for you to pick a background colour.  When I say “create a post” I mean write a post directly on Facebook, on your timeline/wall or in that “What’s on your mind?” box.  You can pick it like you can pick your feeling or activity.

This was fine at first, because my screen readers – both JAWS (my computer one) and Voice Over (my iPhone one) were happy to just tell me the background existed and which style had been chosen, and then read the text to me. Voice Over especially was good about this, since it likes Facebook better than…

Character Quotes from Shakazhan by Dellani

dellanioakes's avatarBooks & Entertainment Network

Shakazhan front“Wilson, full subversive scan of the Flotilla. I want as much of a picture as you can give me.”

“Aye sir.”

A few moments later, the view screen on the wall slid silently open. On it were displayed the specs of the ship and a Tri-D schematic of Flotilla. There were signs of damage all over her. She wouldn’t be going anywhere for quite awhile. The doctor came up behind Ben, peering over his left shoulder.

“They had quite a battle,” the doctor mused.

“What are the two of them thinking, taking on Riley in a Mining Guild vessel? Doesn’t make sense.” Shaking his head, Ben held up a hand. “Let me rephrase that. It probably makes sense to someone, just not to me.”
