Delighted to say I’ve been guest blogging over at the Paperback Dolls about my favourite obsession!

And here is a rather cool review for Sharp Turn.

Sharp Turn is the second book in this series about Tara Sharp, a private investigator of sorts.  Tara is a sexy, car loving, West Australian girl with the unusal ability to read auras. The series is similar to the Janet Evanovich books, but with a unique Australian flavour.  Sharp Turn has motorbikes, gorgeous love interests, an assistant with narcolepsy and a runaway teenager. Fun, action packed and well written, they are a joy to read for all fans of sassy women heroines. — Leanne, Kiama Library

The short synopses for the next two Tara Sharp books are up in the books section. Too Sharp explores the Brisbane and Perth music scenes, while Sharp Edge dabbles in fashion. Lots of places for Tara to get into trouble, and things certainly heat up between her and her least favourite gang lord.

Now what I want to know is …. shall I have another go at the real time whodunnits? Or would you prefer a Tara Sharp short story while you’re waiting for the next novel? Let me know how best you’d like to hang out with Tara over the next few months.

Have pasted a link below to the Partners in Crime January newsletter which features, among other things, my interview with Cassandra Lane, and an interview with Lindy Cameron about Clandestine Press.

You can now watch my interview with Tara Moss online at 13th Street. I believe it’s also showing now on 1t3h Street, though I admit to being a bit too scared to look and see. Something a bit odd about seeing yourself on TV when you’re not used to it.

Amongst other things, The Fringe Magazine was happy to meet Tara. ‘It was great to see another strong and well developed female character that is lacking in many other books around at the moment.’

They finished by saying, ‘I’d recommend reading this extract if you’ve never read any of Marianne’s books before and reckon you’ll want to rush out and pick up a copy shortly after.’
