YOU SHOW ME YOURS. I’LL SHOW YOU MINE.
The blogosphere isn’t old enough to have too many traditions. But one that caught on a few years ago is Delurker Day.
Most people who read blogs never comment. They lurk.
Which cause bloggers to wonder if my blog fell in the forest and there was no one there, would it make a sound?
So today you’re encouraged to come out of the closet. Just add a quick comment. Like hello. Or this sucks. Or I only keep coming back here because I have no real life.
It’s the one day a year bloggers get to know you’re really out there.
And because I’m not one to ask for something and not give anything in return, I thought I’d tell you something about the next Lomax and Biggs book. (I’m working under the assumption that’s why you come to the Lomax and Biggs website).
It’s called CUT, PASTE, KILL. Here’s the cover synopsis:
Sometimes the guilty escape justice, but they rarely escape revenge.
When Eleanor Bellingham-Crump — an unrepentant socialite who is responsible for the drunk-driving death of a 6-year-old boy — turns up murdered on the floor of a Hollywood hotel bathroom, Lomax and Biggs are confronted with a crime of artistic brutality. Along with the scissors sticking from Eleanor’s lifeless body, the two detectives find a meticulous scrapbook documenting a motive of vengeance in lurid detail.
As more bodies are discovered, each one connected by the intricate scrapbooks left at the scene, Mike and Terry are on the hunt for a vigilante stalking unpunished criminals. They must race to decode the meaning behind the scrapbooks before the crafty avenger has time to cut and paste the story for another kill.
It will be released in the US in June, and is available for pre-order now on Amazon, Borders or your local independent bookseller.
Now, before you lurk and run, please leave a comment.

rougeneck posted on January 14, 2010 8:36 AMFound you via Rude Cactus. I've actually nominated one of your books for a book club reading. So far no takers, can't account for taste, so I might leave that book club!
Varinia posted on January 14, 2010 8:54 AMBeing a part of the scrappy community, I CAN'T WAIT to read Lomax and Biggs' next adventure. I'm anxious to see if they Swap Borders, get out the Heat Guns or Ink a Stamp. Maybe they'll Crop a Scrap-Lift, Emboss a Die Cut or Mat the Patterns. And we'll find out if they are Shabby Chic, Digi or Traditional scrappy men to book their next perp. Cut, Past, Kill --- That's a killer title!

I'm pushing The Rabbit Factory for my book club, too. Care to come make a special author appearance? Cincinnati is so lovely this time of year! :)

vickie posted on January 17, 2010 5:06 PMThe facts that I keep coming back here and that I have no life are entirely unrelated, I assure you.
Counting the days until I can inject new - albeit temporary - meaning into my life. Also counting the days to your new book's release.
