It's PRIME TIME for you to get glam and gorgeous this holiday season! For me, as well as for the cool and classy lead character in my fast-paced, Agatha-winning mysteries, a TV reporter's secret best friend is her make-up box. (We can never afford a bad make-up day! Have to be ready to go on camera with the flash of a make-up brush.) The winner in my November contest will be able to look perfect for holiday fun in a heartbeat with this ultra-hip selection of luscious lip glosses, powders, shadows and brushes from Sephora. And for those special spoil-me moments during the hectic holidays: a copy of my latest mystery, AIR TIME (MIRA paperback, on sale now!). Two great prizewinners will each receive a book from my backlist: PRIME TIME or FACE TIME!

In this month of Thanksgiving, I am so grateful to all of you for your ongoing enthusiasm for the action-packed mysteries I love to write. In the new year, I hope you'll look for my fourth mystery: February's DRIVE TIME. Buckle year seatbelts. It's a wild ride!

In AIR TIME, star reporter Charlotte McNally enters the glamorous and high-stakes world of high fashion...and soon discovers when the purses are fake—the danger is real.

To break her latest big-money blockbuster, Charlotte must go undercover—but what if the bad guys recognize her? This savvy TV journalist must face more than her fear of flying when her inside scoop on designer duplicates suddenly turns deadly.

Carrying a hidden camera and dressing to deceive, Charlie finds she's not the only one disguising her identity. Nothing—and no one—is what they seem. And that means nothing—and no one—can be trusted. In her high-risk job and in her suddenly steamy love life, how can she tell the real thing?

Charlie is forced to make some life-changing—and life and death—decisions. With only a split-second to act and with her own life in the balance, Charlie knows if she chooses wrong it will be the last decision she ever makes.
