I am almost embarrassed to admit I had not heard of you as I am an avid reader. In the last two weeks I have read 3 of the Tracy Crosswhite series, I am on my 4th. Plus I read the Last Agent. Thank you, you have made my winter more tolerable.
Is there a f/u to ‘The Last Line’? I do love these charactors!
I am loving your books. Two interesting names appear in them so far, aunt’s & brother’s names.
Will you be writing more of the Tracy Crosswhite books I’m on #6and I know there is a 7 will there be an 8
I was hooked by the first book I read of yours, The Jury Master. Am now waiting for the next David Sloane book to come off “hold” for me.
I’m HOOKED!
My “real name” is Anne Groo.
I discovered you this year with The Extraordinary Life of Sam Hell, which is one of my favorite books of this year. Since then, I’ve read The 7th Canon, another favorite with its witty camaraderie between characters, and Damage Control. Now I’m starting the Tracy Crosswhite series and am reserving them as fast as my library can get them to me, considering it’s still closed. Thank you!
I am so sorry I got you mixed up with Greg Olsen on the Megan Carpenter books but I do read all of your series books of Tracy Crosswhite and David Sloane and love them. I have trouble track of my authors because I read so many books but I have been reading yours for a long time. Keep up the good writing.
Love all your books. I try to keep up with all that come out. Have read the last Megan Carpenter and found it great reading. Keep writing and I will keep reading.
