Today Annelise got her first glimpse of the paperback cover for WORKING STIFF. It’s a little different from the hardcover version below, with brighter colors for the trim even though the basic picture is the same. (I have a sneaking suspicion that those chalk body outlines are going to become a prominent part of my life.)  I’ve been told the goal with this cover was to come up with something that looked a little more fun and hip. What do you think…did they succeed?
Rumor has it the paperback version of WORKING STIFF will include a sneak peak at the next installment in the series, SCARED STIFF, which opens on one of the creepiest, scariest Halloweens I’ve ever had. Part of the horror came from the discovery of a real dead body amidst a display of fake ones. But far scarier was the blind date I was on. It was enough to make lifelong celibacy seem like a very reasonable option.
Loved it. Cannot wait for the next one. Good mix of thrill, gore and a bit of humor! Working Stiff had me guessing until the end, could not figure this one out, and with a Kindle it is harder to cheat and read the last few pages, (yes, I do that) but I really enjoyed it all the way through!!
More!

Thanks! That case had me guessing, too. I blame it on Hurley. He distracted me too often.~Mattie
