CRIMSON EVE<\/a><\/strong><\/span> (Zondervan October 30, 2007)
\nby<\/p>\n

Brandilyn Collins<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Brandilyn Collins is a best-selling novelist known for her trademark Seatbelt Suspense\u2122. These harrowing crime thrillers have earned her the tagline \u201cDon\u2019t forget to b r e a t h e\u2026<\/span>\u00ae <\/em>\u201d She\u2019s so well known in the industry there\u2019s actually a club for her non-readers. That\u2019s right. The Big Honkin\u2019 Chickens Club (BHCC) members are proud of the fact that they\u2019re too wimpy to read Brandilyn\u2019s intense fiction. Now and then one of them tries. Bribing works pretty well. (Just ask Deb Raney.) Somehow they live to tell the tale.<\/p>\n

Brandilyn writes for Zondervan, the Christian division of Harper Collins Publishers, and is currently at work on her 17th book. Her first book, A Question of Innocence, was a true crime published by Avon in 1995. Its promotion landed her on local and national TV and radio, including the Phil Donahue and Leeza talk shows.<\/p>\n

She\u2019s also known for her distinctive book on fiction-writing techniques, Getting Into Character: Seven Secrets a Novelist Can Learn From Actors (John Wiley & Sons), and often teaches at writers conferences. Brandilyn blogs at Forensics and Faith<\/a>.<\/p>\n

ABOUT THE BOOK:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Carla stared at the gun and David Thornby\u2014or whatever his name was. Her mind split in two, one side pleading this was some sick joke, the other screaming it was all too real.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPlease. You must have the wrong person. There\u2019s no reason for someone to want me dead. I don\u2019t have any enemies.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cThen you\u2019d best rethink your friends.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Realtor Carla Radling shows an \u201cEnglish gentleman\u201d a lakeside estate\u2014and finds herself facing a gun. Who has hired this assassin to kill her, and why?<\/p>\n

Forced on the run, Carla must uncover the scathing secrets of her past. Secrets that could destroy some very powerful people…<\/p>\n

Brandilyn Collins fans and reviewers are saying Crimson Eve is her best book yet:<\/p>\n

\u201cCollins tops herself by creating a suspenseful nonstop thrill ride \u2026 Truly the best Christian Fiction suspense title so far this year.\u201d
\n\u2013 Library Journal<\/strong><\/em>, starred review<\/p>\n

\u201cCrimson Eve is Collins at her very best. It left me feeling as if I\u2019d climbed Mount Everest without oxygen \u2026 I didn\u2019t think Brandilyn could outdo herself after reading Coral Moon. She did.\u201d
\n\u2013TitleTrakk.com<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve never edited a more tightly crafted, deftly woven, compellingly written book.\u201d \u2013a Crimson Eve editor, with 20 years experience<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is your best book! I could not stop reading!\u201d \u2013 one of many readers with similar responses<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
