Spring into reading!

The beautiful Spring weather has finally arrived and has us outdoors in the fresh air. Thinking about the warm weather on it's way, makes me think about going to the beach. I love pulling out my kindle and reading a good book in the warm sunshine.

As a special gift to you, Peak City Publishing would like to SPRING you into reading with a free copy of one of our favorite murder mysteries, Storm Surge, written by Tamara Ward.

About Storm Surge:

Storm Surge, A Jonie Waters Mystery is a cozy mystery set in Wilmington, NC. Defeating odds and ignoring well-meant advice is her specialty, so when fledgling reporter Jonie Waters follows a news tip and discovers her girlhood friend’s mangled body, nothing can dissuade her from setting out to find the murderer.  Though Jonie attracts the suspicions of local police as she finds herself in the middle of other related crimes, she continues her investigation, risking her job, tentative family ties, and the chance of romance with the alluring lead investigator.

A New Look and Bonus Material for Storm Surge, A Jonie Waters Mystery

Tamara Ward’s E-Book has been updated with a new cover and a bonus excerpt from her upcoming novel:  “Silver Flashing, A Jonie Water’s Mystery”. 

Praise for the book from Amazon:

“Storm Surge keeps you guessing to the end. Jonie, the main character, is not afraid to solve the murder even if it means getting down and dirty or taking a punch or two. I love that Jonie is often misunderstood and always where she shouldn't be. A must read for readers who love a good murder mystery.”

“Tamara does an excellent job with the mystery part of the book. I honestly had no idea who the killer was until it was revealed at the end. The writing flows well and the book has excellent pacing.”

“This is the first of what will hopefully be a series of Jonie Waters Mysteries. Jonie is an interesting character who takes the reader along for her private investigation into the murder of a friend. Family, friends and law enforcement round out a cast of characters that help to bring this mystery to life. It is a fun, light read that takes advantage of coastal North Carolina locations. Definitely worth reading.”

Peak's Best Seller of 2011

Congratulations to Tamara Ward, author of Storm Surge, A Jonie Waters Mystery for Best Seller status with Peak City Publishing!  The book, released March 29th, 2011 is a consistent seller in both paperback and e-book. 

Tamara has been hard at work on her second in the Jonie Waters series, it is a fast and engrossing suspense novel.  Not only was it hard for me to put down, but when I did, I kept thinking about it...who did it? why? when can I pick it up again?

Six Month Check Up!

It has been awhile since I have posted to The Peak Pages so I will be stepping it up to provide you with informative and hopefully actionable posts to help sell books and get exposure.  But first, some updates:

Over the course of the last few months, we released two novels:  The Wanderer of New Hope, A New Hope Valley Ghost Story by Bob Crowley and Storm Surge, A Jonie Waters Mystery by Tamara Ward.  Both are available at All Booked Up, Amazon and in Kindle format.  Storm Surge was also released to Nook. 

In May, we released The Rusty Bucket Kids, A Behind the Scenes Look at Lincoln, Journey to 16.  The book was released on May 7th, amidst the very busy Peak Fest in Apex, NC.  We are working on making the book (with two different cover options) available on the Nook and via a new digital service called MagicBlox. 

The First Line - It Was Cute Until was released on Amazon and will be available at All Booked Up in a couple of weeks.  Congratulations to our young and talented authors in NC and VA.

Stone-Upon-Stone, released in June, by Brian Barnette of Fayetteville, NC has made its way to the launch at All Booked Up.  Folks are buying through Amazon and All Booked Up.  The book will soon be available on the Nook and MagicBlox.

We have one last release to finish off our 2010 list - The Night by Jay Requard.  His book is in the final stages.  We are running into cover "tweaks" which are taking an inordinate amount of time to fix....but, we will get there!

Welcome to our new author, Mark Thomas of Atlanta, GA.  Mark is a middle school teacher and the creator of the next [kid-friendly] 'F' book.  His book, is a comedic tale of Lance Chance and his troubles with gas!

We are close to signing on another children's book and another novel for 2012!  Looks like another exciting year for Peak City Publishing and its authors!
