Adam Mitzner makes his debut!

Adam Mitzner's debut legal thriller, A Conflict of Interest, debuts today from Gallery.

Alex Miller is asked to represent a family friend in a high-profile brokerage scam. As Alex digs to find the truth, he discovers more than he was prepared for.

Bestselling author Perri O'Shaughnessy says A Conflict of Interest is

"A heady combination of Patricia Highsmith and Scott Turow, here's psychological and legal suspense at its finest. Adam Mitzner's masterful plotting begins on tiptoe and morphs into a sweaty gallop, with ambiguity of character that shakes your best guesses, and twists that punch you in the gut. This novel packs it. A terrific read!"

With a starred review from Publishers Weekly and a spot on the Indie Next List Great Reads, this is a crime novel I know I'm excited to pick up. You can check out Adam's website for an excerpt and more information.

Tomorrow River now out in trade paper!

Shelf Awareness chose Tomorrow River as one of their Top Ten Books of 2010 and it's no surprise why -- 'cause it rocks!

Bestselling author Tana French raves that it "is packed with warmth, wit, intelligence, images savoury enough to taste—and deep dark places that are all the more terrible for being surrounded by so much brightness."

I (me, maddee) have read and loved every one of Lesley Kagen's books -- she understands the young adolescent girl better than anyone else I know.

If you haven't had a chance to experience Tomorrow River from New York Times Bestselling author Lesley Kagen, this is the perfect opportunity. Tomorrow River is now available as an NAL trade paperback. Check out this fun video with Lesley, find additional information at her website and then get your hands on a copy of the book!

You won't be disappointed.
Jen & Maddee!
