Here’s the set-up for Cathryn Grant’s Buried By Debt, just $3.99 on Kindle:

Devon worships Jenna. Their friends say he’s obsessed with her. Maybe he is. He wants to give her the world. Counting on a lucrative promotion, he bought a multi-million dollar home in Silicon Valley for her. It’s all good because Jenna adores him. He’s a lucky guy.

Jenna loves Devon, loves her job, and loves nice things.

Now, the economy’s gone south, the promotion is delayed, and Devon and Jenna are desperate to hide their sky-rocketing debt.

When a childhood friend confronts them about the money they owe, jealousy and secrets erupt in violence.

Buried By Debt – A Suburban Noir love story.

From the reviewer:

At the beginning this story is almost too realistic with the current economic situation there must be many people just managing to survive on their income. The two main characters in this story Devon and his wife Jenna would have been OK if Devon’s expected promotion and bonus had come good but when it didn’t their debts spiraled out of control while trying to keep up appearances. Up to this point about 30% on the Kindle scale it would have been a 5* book, in my opinion, the characters are well described and you can feel for them both having their own point of view that does not quite align.

Here’s the set-up for Cathyrn Grant’s Fatal Cut, just $1.99 on Kindle:

In Fatal Cut, the first novella in this ghostly psychological suspense series, a man is brutally murdered in the church parking lot. Madison Keith is the only one not surprised by the identity of the killer. She has witnessed first hand the buried resentments and bitter hearts of the people at her new job, not to mention the lingering passions of those who have passed on.

Both the living and the dead like to reveal their secrets to Madison. As the administrative assistant in the basement office of a suburban church, she gets plenty of opportunity to hear from both.

Print length for this novella is approximately 100 pages.

From the reviewers:

Cathryn Grant has given her protagonist Madison Keith a delightful voice. Madison is smart, witty, and more than a little curious–perfect for a church receptionist. She’s also tattooed, pierced, and unusually perceptive. In this first of a series, Grant introduces us to Madison’s particular brand of detection and mystery solving. Fatal Cut is a page-turning tale that will satisfy, but leave you hungry for the next one. – Linda Cassidy Lewis

Cathryn Grant invested much of the first half of her novella to developing the quirks and characteristics of her main character so that by the mid-point of this short book, I felt like I knew – and liked – Madison Keith enough to want to continue reading more stories featuring her. At that point, the other characters began to take shape for me and the whodunit and why aspects came to the fore so that the novella moved quickly to a a believable and satisfying ending. I like the novella form for its necessarily sharp focus and definitely am looking forward to the next Madison Keith venture! – Natasha Alexander

Desperate Housewives is a toddlers’ tea party next to our Kindle Nation eBook o’ the Day, Cathryn Grant’s suburban noir novel Demise of the Soccer Moms! Here’s a free sample

May 19, 2011January 27, 2011 by KND

Behind the veneer of manicured yards, designer furniture and vacations, fast-paced careers and super-children lurks envy, greed and materialism. Beneath that? Fear.

Suburban Noir – where the mundane is menacing.

Here’s the set-up for Cathryn Grant’s Demise of the Soccer Moms:

A seemingly quiet suburban neighborhood is upended when a provocative single mother saunters onto the school playground for the first time. Her Doc Marten boots, tight T-shirts, and in-your-face attitude stir up buried fears and sexual anxiety.

In the dark corners of her home, a woman battles crippling memories that threaten to destroy the family she wants so desperately to protect. A suspicious death forces her best friend to make a hard choice between marriage and friendship.

Paranoia, jealousy, and maternal instinct collide, leading to the demise of the soccer moms.

Suburban Noir – where the mundane is menacing.

About the Author:

Her second novel, BURIED BY DEBT, will be released in November 2011.

From Grant’s SuburbanNoir.com site:

Here you’ll find a fictional world populated by individuals who are obsessed, paranoid, desperate to find happiness and clinging to their sense of security. Sometimes, they find redemption.

In its heyday, Noir Fiction illustrated a subterranean stream of discontent, a sense that the so-called “good life” wasn’t really that good — that it was actually quite toxic, because it was based on envy, greed and materialism.

Suburban Noir can be thought of as a sub-genre of psychological suspense. The characters are wounded and flawed, yearning for something they can’t define. A few of them are more than a bit off balance, driven to crime by mental and emotional forces they’re unable to control.
