People are sick and dying. Rumors are swirling. Some claim
chemicals leaking from a manufacturing plant are causing the
cancer that's crippling people on the poor side of Trenton
City, Ohio. Yet nothing at the plant appears amiss. The problem remains a mystery until reporter Jack
Crittendon's long-time mechanic falls ill and he
investigates. Soon Jack becomes engulfed in a smokescreen of
lies, setups, greed, and scandal. The deeper he digs, the more toxic the corruption he
uncovers. As he faces off with the big-time players behind
the scenes and tries to beat the clock before more people
die, he realizes the chillingly unthinkable--he knows too
much.

This book has it all....mystery, lies, greed, scandal, based on a town in Ohio and a great storyline! Just what a person wants in a well written book. WOW! (C Culp 6:47am January 24, 2014)
Your a new author to me and this really caught my attention. Nice bonus that the 3rd book will be coming out soon. Congrats! (Brenda Rumsey 6:58am January 24, 2014)
We are thrilled with the cover art and title of Poison Town, and you're right, Brenda, having book 3 (Sky Zone) come out June 1 is a treat for my readers. Hope you all enjoy Poison Town. Good luck in the contest. (Creston Mapes 7:54am January 24, 2014)
with this dreadful weather...a good book is the remedy... (Mal Kaplan 8:03am January 24, 2014)
Title caught my attention. This book sounds like it has it all, sounds like a book that once I started reading, not putting it down until the end. (Jean Patton 8:40am January 24, 2014)
That is a great title it makes me think about all the situations we put ourselves in that are not healthy because we have no other alternative or are unaware of the risk. (Darci Paice 9:02am January 24, 2014)
This is the first I've heard of The Crittendon Files. I'm so fascinated by this subject matter, I'm headed directly on line after this post to find the 1st book of the series. Thanks for sharing!! (Stephanie Strausberger 9:26am January 24, 2014)
The cover of your book looks like any of the industrial towns in the Midwest, and captures the flavor perfectly!! I love stories like this, and it vaguely reminds me of the story Silkwood, although I'm sure that your book is going in a slightly different direction. Since I grew up and still live not that far from where your fictional story is depicted, I can't wait to read your book, to find out how your story unfolds. There isn't a day that goes by where I live, where you read in the local paper that there is some sort of water pollution that has been discovered, or other type of land pollution from a former industry that has been abandoned on a piece of property. With your background, I'm sure this book is going to be part fact, part story, part thriller!! Congratulations!! (Peggy Roberson 9:33am January 24, 2014)
This book sounds like the world we live in. The cover certainly fits the story. Will have to read this one. (Barbara Wells 9:49am January 24, 2014)
You're a new-to-me author. Just checked out your web site and love how easy to navigate it is. Congrats on all the great reviews! (Elaine Seymour 10:07am January 24, 2014)
What a captivating post which caught my interest. Thanks for this feature and wonderful giveaway. (Sharon Berger 11:34am January 24, 2014)
Thanks to each of you for dropping in. Just know, I don't read boring books, so I don't write them, either! I love tension, so that is what you'll find in Poison Town. Peggy, you're on the right track when you mention SILKWOOD. In fact, my 3rd novel, NOBODY, has been optioned as a motion picture. I can see all of my novels as movies. You guys are great for dropping in. Hope you win a copy! Creston (Creston Mapes 12:03pm January 24, 2014)
Love the title! I can't wait to read this book! (Lisa Glidewell 1:14pm January 24, 2014)

I read A Civil Action, and this story reminds me of it a bit. Sounds like a great read! (Sandy Fielder 4:21pm January 24, 2014)

Poison Town makes me think of chemical company or a nuclear plant. It evens makes me think of a wastewater plant but this type of plant are usually very responsible. I can't say the same about chemical company or nuclear plant. (Kai Wong 9:57pm January 24, 2014)
I am all in on this one. Intrigued and can't wait to read it. (Melanie Backus 10:16pm January 24, 2014)

I really enjoyed Fear Has a Name and would LOVE to win this newest book. Thanks for the opportunity! (Miralee Ferrell 4:21pm January 25, 2014)
Poison Town sounds like a very good edge of your seat type of book and not far from the reality of much of what really is happening all around us today (as many suspected of the fiberglass plant in Ohio). I agree that the cover art for your book is fabulous! I hope your book does well, and I'm going to read your others also. (Linda Luinstra 4:58pm January 25, 2014)
Thanks to each of you for dropping in. Good luck on the giveaway! Creston (Creston Mapes 6:22pm January 25, 2014)
This sounds like Cleveland.....but could be anywhere, anyone. Thanks for the giveaway. Lowe's is the best for just about anything. (Susan Coster 6:50pm January 25, 2014)
Congratulations on your new release! It sounds like an intriguing book. Environmental pollution by big business is a hot topic. Thanks for sharing your inspiration for the story. (Bonnie H 8:18pm January 25, 2014)
The book is awesome and my husband actually works at Lowes :> (Callie Stuck 8:37pm January 25, 2014)
POISON TOWN sounds amazing!! (Mary Preston 12:10pm January 26, 2014)
