Good morning! This has been a quiet week, but I do have a couple of Footprints reviews to post. And btw, whenever someone uses the word 'brilliant' in a quote, you can bet I'm using it!

The Mystery Gazette: The fast-paced storyline hooks readers who ponder whether this is a horror tale, psychological suspense, or some sort of combination as Amanda Stevens keeps the tension stratospherically high throughout. Keep the lights on as this one will reach your gut.

Merrimon Book Reviews: Amanda Stevens makes the reader feel a certain kind of empathy for the killer, creating a thriller all the more creepy as the horrors and deeds are uncovered. A supernatural imagery mixes with psychology to create a terrifying look into a cold case, memory and the legacy of the present day consequences. Indeed, Amanda Stevens' brilliant use of imagery gives an unusual glimpse into the dynamics behind the murders.

Like I said, it's been kind of quiet around here, so you'll understand if I take my kicks where I can get them. I'm at Target!

The Dollmaker trailer was nominated for a Black Quill Award. How cool is that?

In case you missed my earlier post, my interview with Dark Scribe Magazine is still up. I thought Vince did a great job with the inteview. He came up with some really interesting questions and his intro is terrific: With novels that have been described as “creepy, southern suspense,” Amanda Stevens is emerging as a “must read” name in psychological thrillers. With the imminent release of her second Mira novel, The Devil’s Footprints, the Arkansas born and bred dark scribe remains true to her heritage, crafting intricate, highly-readable tales steeped in southern folklore and legends.

Don't forget about the new contest. All you have to do is shoot me an email to enter, but come on! Where are those urban legends and myths I asked for? I haven't received a single one!

I'll leave you with The Devil's Footprints theme...
