With his heart turned cold, The Hitman is faced with the challenges of saving a reputed state official's political career as well as keeping a crime lord out of jail by ensuring that a witness doesn't make it to the courtroom. The Hitman is a fast-paced, action-packed thrill ride.Peprahnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-42367867348175142302013-12-16T16:20:19.052-05:002013-12-16T16:20:19.052-05:00Thank you <3 So excited!

I’m probably alone in that. Maybe it comes from having grown up in a home with so many hardback, slipcover-less classics lying around. They all had just some gold trim at most, and a solid color cover (often neutral colored!) .Skylarhttps://www.facebook.com/pages/Skylar-Hamilton-Burris-Author-Page/132854633416788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-961332566292942537.post-47254843032639811042013-12-16T10:01:37.837-05:002013-12-16T10:01:37.837-05:00Awesome!

Here’s my pitch:<br />The Strange Marriage of Anne de Bourgh is a lightly humorous Regency romp for fans of Jane Austen’s classic Pride and Prejudice. This collection contains the title novella as well as three additional P&P-inspired short stories. When Mr. Collins leaves his living at Rosings for a higher (or at least more lucrative) calling, a lascivious new rector takes his place. Mr. Darcy fears this handsome man of the cloth may have designs on his sickly cousin Anne, and he races to rescue her from a fate worse than death: marriage. I’ve written two other commercially published novel-length sequels to Pride and Prejudice, but this is my first indie adventure in the genre. Reader’s Favorite said that the “story line is etched well and all the characters are perfectly described...The twist at the end makes the read exciting.” Austenesque reviews said, “As always, Ms. Burris's representation of Austen characters is flawless and her new additions are well-drawn and intriguing.” I’d love to hear what you have to say!
