All four Zoë Sharp covers revealed!

Busted Flush Press is proud to publish in the U.S. for the first time Zoë Sharp's early Charlie Fox thrillers! The series debut, Killer Instinct, comes out in May, with a new foreword by Lee Child! The other three will follow later this year & into 2011. The covers for Killer Instinct and Riot Act are slightly different than originally announced because we decided to make Zoë's name uniform across all 4 books. Enjoy!

Covers for Zoë Sharp's thrillers!

They're not coming out until summer 2010, but the wonderful Lisa Novak has designed some pretty cool covers for Zoë Sharp's first two Charlie Fox thrillers, Killer Instinct (May 2010) and Road Kill (July 2010). These books have never been published in the U.S. thriller fans, take note... you won't want to miss this series! Killer Instinct will feature a new introduction by Lee Child.

“Charlie Fox is simply the best.”—Jeffery Deaver

“Zoë Sharp writes some of the best thrillers around . . . Charlie Fox is totally believable, thanks to Sharp’s writing skill.”—Ted Hertel, Deadly Pleasures

“Male and female crime fiction readers alike will find Sharp’s writing style addictively readable—one of the very best crime fiction sagas out there.”—Paul Goat Allen, Chicago Tribune

Heading for New York!

This weekend I meet with one of the most important cogs in the new Busted Flush Press machinery: the wonderful Consortium Book Sales & Distribution sales reps! I happen to be very excited about this part, talking up BFP titles to those men & women who will be selling my books to bookstores, libraries, wholesalers, etc... They won't be able to shut me up! And in a little more than 3 weeks, Consortium will be distributing BFP... woo-hoo!

A quick word on a mystery festival coming up next week... The BookHampton Mystery Festival, May 15-17, held at the various store locations in Amagansett, East Hampton, Southampton, and Sag Harbor. Authors attending include Reed Farrel Coleman (The James Deans), Megan Abbott (A Hell of a Woman), Lee Child, Alafair Burke, Susan Issacs, Andrew Gross, and many more. And here's the magic word: All the events are free! The panel I'd love to hear: "High Heeled 'Shoes: When Women are Dicks," with Linda Fairstein, Lorenzo Carcaterra, Reed Farrel Coelman, and Megan Abbott. Find out more here.
