Merz's DANGER-CLOSE Goes Back for Another Printing
HWA NE member Jon F. Merz reports that his mystery/thriller DANGER-CLOSE, released in December from FiveStar Mysteries, has gone back for another print run due to high demand. This first installment of a new series stars paraplegic ex-USAF commando Jake Thunder, once wounded in Somalia who now hangs his shingle out as a private eye in Boston while battling alcoholism and hoping his acupuncture treatments revive his dead legs.
Kirkus Reviews said it, "..manages to be both gritty and cheeky with an effective surprise twist." Merz's agent is currently shopping subrights while the author works on a second installment entitled DOUBLE-TAP.

Delirium Books To Publish Sandy Deluca's Novel DESCENT
 Sandy Deluca's novel, DESCENT, will be published by Delirium Books in 2005 as part of their "Exclusive Series".
SYNOPSIS:
"There are stronger forces than a solitary woman’s prayers." In the '70s Julia accompanied a mad man on an unforgettable road trip from Providence to Miami. She encountered demons, decadence and death. She was helpless and subservient as pain and blood became a fact of her life. She escaped from that hell on earth. However, the demons and the dead followed her throughout her life. For twenty-one years they came to her in dreams. They manifested onto her painter’s canvas and they called to her from the darkness.
When another murder occurs, true madness begins to unfold. Guilt, longing and terror erupt. A secret caller lures Julia to her descent, haunting and tempting her until she realizes that she must confront her past and perhaps the Devil himself.
