Mystery & Mayhem Tour
Readers, I have some shocking news for you, something that’s never happened before. Take a look at the letter below that I received in the mail, just before the launch of Sins of the Past--my novella with Lynette Eason and Dee Henderson.
Enclosed with the note was a list of profiles of Lynette's and Dee's, and my characters. Apparently Anonymous has been stalking our books for quite some time. I can only assume the “clues” Anonymous promised to reveal will help rule out some of the characters below.

What Can You Do?
Amy Green, the fiction publicist at Bethany House, is appointing herself the investigative lead on this mystery, but she can’t do it alone. It’ll take a team to solve the mystery, rescue the character, and bring the kidnapper to justice. That’s why I'm asking you, dear readers, to join us. Lynette, Dee, and I already recruited the help of bookstore owners and book review bloggers to help us find clues to determine which character is being held hostage and how we can rescue him or her. The stops on the tour are listed below. Make sure you don’t miss a single step of the investigation!
Clues will be revealed at each stop to help you figure out which character has been kidnapped. (If you can’t make it in person to the bookstore events, don’t worry—Lynette and I will post the clue from the events on our Facebook pages within 24 hours of the event.)
