THE CROOKED STREET – Available Now

/in /by

Today’s the day!

Frost Easton is back on the streets of San Francisco, and THE CROOKED STREET is available right now. You can get it in e-book, audio, hardcover, and paperback…either from Amazon, BN, or your local indie retailer.

Early readers are raving about the book!

“As usual, Brian Freeman kicks ass and takes names in his newest upcoming release.” 

“If all the books I read this year are half as good as Crooked Street, it will be a good 2019.”

“OMG what a fantastic ride. Action unravels at a breakneck speed… this gem is every bit as good as Connelly’s Bosch series.”

“Seeing Brian Freeman’s name on the cover means the book is going to be great…The Crooked Street is another winner.” 

“It’s a thrilling mystery and you will read late into the night.”

A Weekend for FROST

/in /by

Everyone in Minnesota knows January is a time for FROST.  Well, it’s been a heckuva weekend for Frost Easton.

First THE VOICE INSIDE was named a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award in Genre Fiction.

Then today I woke up to this wonderful review of THE CROOKED STREET from Mary Ann Grossman in the Pioneer Press:

“This is a thriller that will keep you up all night. And even the most perceptive crime novel fan will be stunned by the cliff-hanger conclusion.”

Want more?  The Duluth News-Tribune says: “A wild, twisting mystery….don’t miss this novel!”

Remember…the new book is out on TUESDAY!

 

Minnesota Book Awards

/in /by

Is there another state blessed with such a diversity of great genre writers as Minnesota?  It’s really an amazing list we have in this state. Of course, what is there to do in the winters but sit inside and think dark thoughts?

For me, I am so honored that THE VOICE INSIDE is a finalist for the Minnesota Book Award for Genre Fiction, along with books by Kelly Barnhill, Allen Eskens, and Mindy Mejia. It’s the fifth time I’ve been a finalist…wow! This recognition for THE VOICE INSIDE comes on the heels of nominations for my earlier books STRIPPED, THE BONE HOUSE, THE COLD NOWHERE, and SEASON OF FEAR.

So if you haven’t read THE VOICE INSIDE yet, this is the perfect time! (And the follow-up book THE CROOKED STREET arrives on Tuesday.) Then be sure to check out all of our great Minnesota writers.

The Plymouth READS program in Plymouth, Minnesota, has selected Brian’s thriller MARATHON as its citywide community read for 2019. Visit the Plymouth READS website for more information about the wide-ranging community events this spring surrounding MARATHON — and then join Brian at the Plymouth Creek Center on April 11 for a discussion of the issues raised in this ripped-from-the-headlines novel.

A Year of Great Events

The wonderful event at the Bookstore at Fitger’s in Duluth this week marked the last book event for us in 2018! Marcia and I have done more than 30 events this year: book club discussions, library presentations, bookstore visits, Skype/FaceTime call-ins, library fundraisers, etc…and we have loved the opportunity to chat personally with hundreds and hundreds of readers.

So a big THANK YOU to everyone who joined us this year! We will be kicking off more events in January, and Marcia and I hope to see you in your area during 2019. In the meantime…happy reading!

(And get ready for two new books next year!)
