Zia,
I love that Killer Deceptions takes place in the Catskill mountains. They are beautiful. It sounds like fun that the neighbor sends in a sub for the event and by the looks of the cover it is a wonderful ride for Angie. Can’t wait to read it.

Deadly Encounters is a gripping series of books. There is a short story that is in this series too, but not managed to get my hands on that one yet, but I am told it is good. it is always a pleasure to read one of Zia’s stories.
Thanks for taking the time to join in with Zia’s tour! I’m so proud of her work, I can’t wait to see what she comes up with next. 🙂
Thanks for hosting me! I really love writing my Deadly Encounter series. Killer Deceptions comes out in October and Joe and Angie are a couple after my own heart. They get off to a rocky start, but the sparks do fly!
If anyone has any comments or questions, please don’t hesitate to leave a reply. I’ll pop back in to answer.
It’s our pleasure, Zia!
Loved book one. Killer Secrets was an edge of your seat thriller. I was drawn in from the first page. I’m sure the rest of the books in the series are just as good. Both are on my tbr list.
Wow, sounds like a really exciting story… and series!
