Christmas Time is Here

Although December can be a slower time in the book business, it’s a busy time for many folks…us included…as we prepare for the upcoming holidays. Visiting with friends, planning gatherings, sending greeting cards, finding that “purrfect” gift for family members and friends…all while bundled up against the cold winter chill…make it an exciting time. And although Brian is still busily writing away on the next book during the days, in the evenings we like to find time to watch some of our favorite holiday television programs. For Brian, it’s Charlie Brown, Snoopy and the gang. For me, it’s not the holidays until the Grinch carves the “rare roast beast.”

What’s your annual “must watch” holiday show…?

WEST 57: Now on Kindle Unlimited

For the first time ever, my novel WEST 57 is available in Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited program. So if you’re a member, you can put it on your device and read it for free!

WEST 57 is nothing like my thrillers. It’s dramatic and intriguing, but also filled with humor and romance. It’s a follow-up to a book called THE AGENCY that I co-wrote several years ago under the pseudonym “Ally O’Brien.” Both books feature female first-person narrators and settings in New York and London.

We got great reviews from critics and readers alike. People Magazine called THE AGENCY “entertaining…witty…a delight,” and Romantic Times gave it four stars and called it “one fantastic novel.” Booklist said WEST 57 had “just the right mix of zany humor and sexy romance.”

So if you want to explore the “other side” of Brian Freeman, this is your chance! Here I am, channeling my inner woman.

The Murderer in Your Head

THE NIGHT BIRD is now available in German!

This #1 Amazon USA bestseller was released today in Germany as Der Mörder in deinem Kopf…which translates to THE MURDERER IN YOUR HEAD.  I love the title, and it’s perfect for the book.
