Terrified.   What did you do?   I called 911.   Why?   She was afraid of Wael.   He had threatened her before.   The responding officers had found Rahim, covered with her blood, trying to stuff his sister’s body into the building’s incinerator.

Synopsis:
Nationally bestselling author James LePore has established a reputation as a writer whose vividly drawn characters and morally complex plots have kept readers up to all hours turning pages. His new novel promises more sleepless nights and more nonstop thrills.

Matt DeMarco is an accomplished Manhattan attorney with more than his share of emotional baggage. His marriage ended disastrously, his ex-wife has pulled their son away from him, and her remarriage to a hugely successful Arab businessman has created complications for Matt on multiple levels. However, his life shifts from troubled to imperiled when two cops – men he’s known for a long time – come into his home and arrest his son as the prime suspect in the murder of the boy’s girlfriend.

Suddenly, the enmity between Matt and his only child is no longer relevant. Matt must do everything he can to clear his son, who he fully believes is innocent. Doing so will require him to quit his job and make enemies of former friends – and it will throw him up against forces he barely knew existed and can only begin to comprehend how to battle.

If this sounds like something you would enjoy reading and reviewing, this novel is touring with Partners In Crime Tours February-Aril 2012.  Email me and I can provide you with more details (CMash@Partnersincrimetours.net)

Happy New Year Exciting Day

Happy New Year everyone!!  How did you ring in the New Year?

It’s a really exciting day here at the CMash blog, especially if you are reading this.  It means you found me at my new home!!!  And to those that did, I say:

Thanks to my computer angel, Gina from Hott Books, I would not be here nor would I be in one piece.  This blog is put together solely by her.  I have said many times that I am computer challenged, and she will agree that I am, but she has been so patient with me, answering every question, teaching me this new platform and I think, at least I hope, she is still sane lol.  I am still trying to navigate and learn my way around here at WordPress, so you may see some bumps in the road, but eventually I hope to figure it all out.  What year that will be….I’m not sure  lol.

And another day I have been waiting for for months, days of stalking A Novel Challenge, days of looking at a page that is all set up with cute little buttons waiting to be filled in wih titles.  YES!!!  May the 2012 Challenges begin!!!!

And the winner is……..

………….of the BEST OF 2011 GIVEAWAY BLOG HOP

Happy New Year’s Eve

REMINDER:  
TOMORROW IS MOVING DAY!!!  I HOPE TO SEE YOU AT MY NEW HOME
WWW.CMASHLOVESTOREAD.COM
The end of another year.  And how fast it went by.  However, it was been a bittersweet year for me.  It’s been two (2) years now that I have been part of this great community of book blogging and reviewing and am having as much fun today as I did when I first started.  I have met many new friends, read some phenomenal books, have had the opportunity for new adventures and have been honored to host Authors as my guests just to name a few events of this past year.  As far as reading, I fell short of what I wanted to accomplish but I hope to do better in 2012.
There were some road blocks that I had to get through this year, but I did, and I want to thank you all for being there for me when I didn’t think I was going to make it to the other side.  Your prayers, genuine concern, caring, words of encouragement and comfort helped me through.  I will forever be thankful.
Tomorrow is going to be a big day for me.
First, I will be moving to my new home over at wordpress.  I hope you all come visit, take down my new address, sign up and/or on, leave me a little comment that the directions I gave or that your GPS worked and you found me.  Since I am not tech savvy, it might take me a while to learn my way around and navigate the new platform, so I apologize in advance.
And tomorrow, the day I have been patiently waiting for.  I am being very optimistic that 2012 is going to be a better year for me….it can’t get any worse  lol…..at least I don’t think so.  Remember all those challenges that I signed up for…..all  23 of them….WooHoo…..they start tomorow.  One of my resolutions this year is to read more.  Because of my personal real life issues, I only read 49 books in 2011…pitiful.  There were some months that I read 1 book.  So let the challenges begin.
HAVE A SAFE, HEALTHY AND HAPPY 2012 NEW YEAR!!
