Here’s the set-up:
Emily McGinn, a recurring character from Where Secrets Lie, believes she knows exactly who she is and where she belongs in the world, until she receives an inheritance from an unknown benefactor. Uncovering the source of the inheritance leads Emily to discover buried truths undermining what she thought was a straightforward life. As the truths alter Emily’s perception of the people closest to her, her perception of herself shifts as well.
Set in the unique foothills community of Boulder, Colorado and its environs, Whoever You Are questions not only how we define ourselves, but also how we define family and whether we bear any responsibility for the actions of those who came before us.

The Next Right Thing
by Colleen Collins
Here’s the set-up:
The next right thing is the only choiceCammie Copello gets results—even if it means stretching the rules. That’s what makes her a great private investigator. It’s also what caused the little breach between her and attorney Marc Hamilton. It’s too bad, because they made a great team. And, honestly, her career hasn’t been the same since.
So imagine her surprise when Marc shows up begging for her help with a personal case. When he turns on the charm…well, she can’t refuse. But she can keep her attraction to Marc a secret—regardless of how tempting he is. Her intentions are put to the test, however, when he proves that the attraction is not one-sided!
Editorial Reviews
“A heart-warming family story set against the razzle-dazzle of Vegas. Private investigator Cammie Copello is charming and fearless!” ~USA Today Best-selling Author Cassie Miles
“Colorful, skillful description and lively, fully fleshed-out characters contribute to this great read.” ~RT Book Reviews
“I absolutely had to read THE NEXT RIGHT THING in one sitting…THE NEXT RIGHT THING is definitely an exciting page turner you don’t want to miss!” ~Kay Quintin, Fresh Fiction
From the Author
In The Next Right Thing, I created a female protagonist, Cammie Copello, who is near to my heart because we both work as private investigators. I well understand what it is like to have your heart in your throat as you’re crawling underneath a vehicle to attach a GPS device in broad daylight, or how convenient it is to use smartphone apps for certain tasks, such as capturing “the bad guy’s” activities using a motion-detector video app.
The hero, Marc Hamilton, is a Denver high-profile lawyer who Cammie once worked for…that is, until she waded into the gray area one time too many. But now his career depends on her helping him out, and Cammie must decide what is the next right thing to do. A decision all the more difficult because she has been secretly in love with Marc for years.
Hope you enjoy The Next Right Thing, which is available in print and ebook. I’m currently working on its sequel, tentatively titled Lost and Found, and which features another female private eye in Sin City. Look for Lost and Found in November 2013!

Death of a Shrinking Violet:
by James Robinson
Here’s the set-up:
Death of a Shrinking Violet has nothing to do with death or the sadness associated with a shrinking violet. Written by award-winning essayist and satirist James Robinson, Jr., it celebrates all of the daily events and collective moments that we share; all of the things that we have in common as living, breathing members of the human race.
As you read you’ll find yourself saying, “That’s happened to me,” or “that’s so funny!” But mostly, you’ll nod and say, “I know exactly what you mean.”
Get ready to smile, laugh, and cry; Death of a Shrinking Violet is about you and me.
Get ready to smile, laugh, and cry; Death of a Shrinking Violet is about you and me.
Review
**** The Death of a Shrinking Violet by James Robinson, Jr. is an eclectic collection of essays and that word should prepare you for such diverse topics as becoming and being a grandfather, marriage, great movies and Sam’s club, sleep and so many more. This book is an easy read and if you do not find a nugget of interest among the pages, I would say that perhaps you are hard to please. This is a little book bound to entertain and satisfy anyone looking for a little light reading. -Patricia Day for Readers Favorite

Editorial Reviews
“In Reznik’s debut novel, a woman confronts long-buried secrets when an old college friend commits suicide. . . . While effective as a page turner, the novel also tells a timeless, universal tale of a woman’s journey toward self-acceptance. An exciting tale of past crimes and dangerous friendships.” –Kirkus Reviews
★★★★★ “I love a mystery and I love stories about the late 60’s/early 70’s and this book has both. Really fun read.” –Barbara Gaines, Executive Producer, The Late Show with David Letterman
★★★★★ “Lara Reznik masterfully creates a story that brings the past and present together seamlessly. . . . I can honestly say it is not often that the plot of a book surprises me the way this one did. This book is truly timeless.

From the Author
This book is dedicated to all baby boomers who survived the late 60’s and 70’s, as well as those that didn’t. Hope you enjoy the ride. —Lara

Donate Body to Science. Check.
When seventeen-year-old Kaitlyn checked the box, she never suspected she’d have her life–and her body–stolen from her. She awakens one day in a secret laboratory to discover that her body is now half-robot and is forced to hide her own secret: that she still has human emotions and a human mind. If the scientists who made her find out, they’ll erase what remains of who she was.
Kaitlyn finds an unlikely ally in Lucas, a handsome, brilliant scientist who can’t get over the guilt he feels knowing she was once a vibrant, beautiful young woman. He never expected a science project to affect him the way she does. As he tries to help her rediscover her past, he finds himself falling for the brave girl struggling to find her place and acceptance between the human and computer worlds.
*For mature teens due to some sexual content.
Review
“Freak of Nature is a refreshing read, because it doesn’t truly fit the mold of a particular genre. It has romance, action, science, and suspense. Julia Crane’s writing has matured so much and it is truly shown in her new book.” ~examiner.com
