Move over Advanced Reader Copy (ARC) the real Riff Raff is about to appear.
It's been an interesting year pushing out Advanced Reader Copies of my latest book Riff Raff. Feed back has come in at various times from various people, reviews have been scarce but the few that did come in were awesome, and author blurbs were filled by two fine writers from Mystery Writer's of America (MWA). The audio version of the Riff Raff went forward months ago and is now complete and will be added to the other books in the Jack Vu series next month.
