Do you like paranormal thrillers?
Do you like legal thrillers?
The Accused and the Damned is BOTH, a paranormal legal thriller. I'm pretty sure it's the first of its kind. (But hey, if I'm wrong, leave a comment and point me to another book like it--I want to read it!)
And starting tomorrow, you can get TAATD for the ridiculously low price of $0.99.
This is a special, limited-time offer that runs through 12/24.
And if you read and enjoy TAATD, leave me a review and let me know. Thanks!

Three of My Favorite Legal Thrillers
In no particular order ...
Presumed Innocent. Harrison Ford is cast against type as the lead that becomes really a supporting player. The backstabbing politics of a District Attorney's office and the professional, undying enmity between prosecutors and defense attorneys are incredibly well done here. Great book by Scott Turow turned into a good movie with a killer twist ending.
To Speak for the Dead. This novel by Paul Levine is a page-turner that also paints a quasi-realistic picture of what it is to practice both civil and criminal law. The first in a series, this one introduces readers to Levine's best-known protagonist, Jake Lassiter, and also Levine's witty, punchy sense of humor.
The Verdict. David Mamet wrote the script, Paul Newman plays one of his most complex roles to date, and James friggen Mason absolutely steals the show as the stone cold killer in the courtroom, the ultimate lawyer for hire who will do anything to win. Some well-done sequences outside the courtroom and behind closed doors that show what practicing law is all about. This film introduced mainstream audiences to the idea that you can't "unring the bell," i.e. once the jury hears something they can't forget it.

Did I Really Write a Legal Thriller?
I don't much care for attorneys, but I do enjoy a great legal thriller.
That's why I was so excited to hear about Eddie McCloskey's paranormal investigation in upstate New York, where he served as the defense's expert witness in a murder one trial ... it gave me the opportunity to try my hand at a legal thriller.
The Accused and the Damned is that book. I don't think anyone has ever written a novel like it before. If that's the case then that makes it the world's first paranormal legal thriller.
TATD is available for pre-order now and will be released on 10/31/14. I'll be putting an excerpt up shortly on this page. Or if you've already purchased The Lost, you'll be able to read an excerpt at the end of that book.
