Addictive Summer Reads Blog Hop plus Edge Of Trust Cover Reveal!
I love blog hops! And this is a fun one. Each author is offering a prize plus there are seven additional gift cards up for grabs on our main event page . . .and there’s a Rafflecopter to earn extra points. Also, if you have a blog and you promote the event on your blog, you earn extra Rafflecopter points! So many chances to win! You have from June 27-30, 2014 to enter.
For myself, I am giving away (one) $10 and (two) $5 Amazon or Barnes and Noble virtual gift cards, winner’s choice. What do you need to do for a chance to win my prize? Either subscribe to this (very new) blog (subscription link should be on the left) or subscribe to my newsletter on my homepage (scroll down past the Facebook widget). And then tell me which you did in the comments. If you do both, then make two comments to double your chances. I will pick the winners using random.org. (Given this IS a brand new blog because GoDaddy cancelled my last one, I’m not quite sure how the comments work, we might have some glitches.)
For the Addictive Reads Blog Hop page, you can click HERE. (I’ll add the link again at the bottom of the post if you want to wait.)
Now for the cover reveal! This is for the third book in the Vista Security Series: Edge of Trust. (This isn’t really the third Vista book, because Vista didn’t show up in The Good Daughter, only some of the characters, but Amazon did something weird with series book numbering and would no longer let me call it a “prequel” so I had to renumber the books. All these changes, Amazon, GoDaddy, drive me bonkers!)
Here’s the blurb to Edge Of Trust:
What if there was a technology so scary, reality seemed like your worst nightmare?
Burned spy Tasha Shivko must rescue her brother from a Siberian prison and the only person who can help is her former partner Matt Kincaid. But Matt, once himself held captive in a Siberian prison, flatly refuses.
Before his arrest, Tasha’s brother managed to smuggle information out of Russia about a terrorist plot using a nano virus developed by a dirty scientist. Code name: Zombie Virus–when injected it leaves its victims helpless to resist any command.
Learning of the imminent terrorist threat, ex-FBI agent turned spymaster Dave Armstrong realizes Tasha’s brother has critical information vital to thwart the plot. Dave entices Matt to join them and also pulls in Mafia princess Marisa Peruzzo who is now a reluctant mob boss. Marisa’s job: set up a deal with a Russian mobster who has the contacts they need to set their trap. Marisa isn’t that hard to convince; unbeknown to Dave, she has her own vendetta.
From New York to Russia, from Alaska to Siberia, as they work to unravel the terrifying plans of an intricate criminal network, the small but loyal team are pushed to the Edge of Trust.
And here’s the cover!! I think Shanel Anderson at The Circular Designs did a fabulous job! What do you think?
And FYI: The Good Daughter is on sale for 99 cents for a limited time, tell your friends, grab your copy! Thanks!

Cool cover, Diana! I love those International Intrigue stories. Sounds like another great read.
June 27, 2014 @ 6:16 pm
Thanks, PJ.

Love the cover – very nice!
And congrats on the sparkly new blog 😉
June 27, 2014 @ 6:17 pm
Thank you! As for the sparkly new blog, it and I are still learning how to get along, lol. I see I’m signed in as dianalayne1 but have no idea how to change that to my name.

Sounds like a real thriller! For someone who writes pretty lighthearted, simple, straightforward stuff, I would find this type of story pretty intimidating to write, but you seem like a natural for it! Thanks for sharing!
June 27, 2014 @ 6:18 pm
I would find lighthearted hard to write! I start writing, people start dying, go figure. And let me say, too, I had to threaten some of my main characters when they weren’t cooperating, that no one was safe. Since I killed someone I wasn’t expecting to die, I think they took that to heart.

Love the new book cover! A ‘zombie’ virus that eliminates people’s ability to act for themselves … sounds fascinating.
June 27, 2014 @ 11:00 pm
Thanks! The zombie virus kind of evolved. The scientist appeared briefly at the beginning of Trust No One. I wasn’t too sure what he had developed that people wanted, that wasn’t the issue at the time. When I decided to bring him back, I had to figure it out. 🙂
June 28, 2014 @ 12:43 am
Love the new cover, Diana.
June 28, 2014 @ 1:42 am

Congrats on the new cover, Diana! Wow, The Edge of Trust sounds like something that’ll keep me on the edge of my seat. Happy sales to you!
June 28, 2014 @ 1:48 pm
I’m hoping it will, Vanessa! I’m at the I am really hating this book stage of revisions, but almost through and then my editor can slash it more, lol.
June 28, 2014 @ 11:00 am
I’m glad you finally got your blog sorted out. It looks good. 🙂
June 28, 2014 @ 1:49 pm
Thanks, Kiru, it’s been a mess!
June 28, 2014 @ 4:12 pm
You had me at Zombie-Virus, Diana.
This sounds like a great read. Love the cover, too!
June 28, 2014 @ 5:56 pm
LOL, Greg. Zombie virus was not my original intent, but when I decided to bring back the scientist from Trust No One, he had developed a nano something or another that I never specified. In researching, scarily-enough, there is supposed to be this kind of zombie virus nanotechnology . . .so say the conspiracy theorists. And since this series has evolved into a conspiracy theory type New World order direction, the zombie virus sounded like a good fit. Scary. But good. 🙂
June 28, 2014 @ 5:09 pm
Love the cover! Thanks for sharing an excerpt 🙂 Really looking forward to the Edge of Trust coming out. I subscribe to both your newsletter & new blog. Good luck on the revisions 🙂
June 28, 2014 @ 5:58 pm

The first book, which is really a prequel, The Good Daughter is on sale now for 99 cents and when you read it, there’s a special offer at the end on how to get a copy of Trust No One for free.
