CFBA Blog Tour - Brandilyn Collins and Crimson Eve

I have the pleasure of featuring a book by an author who is not only a good friend, but who also put my husband in her current series, of which this is #3. If you've read any of these books, you'll know my husband by the character of Ted Dawson, the sci-fi writer working on his novel. :) If you haven't ready any of these books, and you love suspense, this is the series for you!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Brandilyn Collins is a best-selling novelist known for her trademark Seatbelt Suspense™. These harrowing crime thrillers have earned her the tagline "Don't forget to b r e a t h e…® " She's so well known in the industry there's actually a club for her non-readers. That's right. The Big Honkin' Chickens Club (BHCC) members are proud of the fact that they're too wimpy to read Brandilyn's intense fiction. Now and then one of them tries. Bribing works pretty well. (Just ask Deb Raney.) Somehow they live to tell the tale.

Brandilyn writes for Zondervan, the Christian division of HarperCollins Publishers, and is currently at work on her 17th book. Her first book, A Question of Innocence, was a true crime published by Avon in 1995. Its promotion landed her on local and national TV and radio, including the Phil Donahue and Leeza talk shows.

She’s also known for her distinctive book on fiction-writing techniques, Getting Into Character: Seven Secrets a Novelist Can Learn From Actors (John Wiley & Sons), and often teaches at writers conferences. Brandilyn blogs at Forensics and Faith.

Visit her website to read the first chapters of all her books.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Carla stared at the gun and David Thornby—or whatever his name was. Her mind split in two, one side pleading this was some sick joke, the other screaming it was all too real.

"Please. You must have the wrong person. There's no reason for someone to want me dead. I don't have any enemies."

"Then you'd best rethink your friends."


Realtor Carla Radling shows an "English gentleman" a lakeside estate—and finds herself facing a gun. Who has hired this assassin to kill her, and why?

Forced on the run, Carla must uncover the scathing secrets of her past. Secrets that could destroy some very powerful people...

Brandilyn Collins fans and reviewers are saying Crimson Eve is her best book yet:

"Collins tops herself by creating a suspenseful nonstop thrill ride … Truly the best Christian Fiction suspense title so far this year." – Library Journal, starred review

"Crimson Eve is Collins at her very best. It left me feeling as if I'd climbed Mount Everest without oxygen … I didn't think Brandilyn could outdo herself after reading Coral Moon. She did." –TitleTrakk.com

"I've never edited a more tightly crafted, deftly woven, compellingly written book." –a Crimson Eve editor, with 20 years experience

"This is your best book! I could not stop reading!" – one of many readers with similar responses

Read about Violet Dawn and Coral Moon, books one and two in the Kanner Lake series.
