The next book in my Mercy Gunderson series, MERCY KILL, releases next Tuesday 1-11-11 — and I’m giving you all a chance to win it before you can buy it! Ooh, and guess what? It got a starred review in Library Journal!
“With a gutsy heroine, sharp humor, and a strong sense of place, Armstrong has created a winning series (No Mercy). The female veteran perspective is particularly fresh…Highly recommended
— Library Journal, starred review
AND THE BLURB:
—Former Black Ops Army sniper, Mercy Gunderson isn’t adjusting well to the laid-back rhythm of civilian life on her family’s ranch in South Dakota. To fill her time, Mercy accepts a temporary bartending gig at a local watering hole. Yet her attempts to settle in back home are tested when Titan Oil, a Canadian company proposing to run an underground pipeline through Eagle River County, sends Jason Hawley, Mercy’s former Army buddy to the area to convince ranchers to get behind the project.
While local business owners support the pipeline, Hawley’s presence riles the landowners and Mercy is torn. After ugly threats and multiple altercations escalate tensions in the county, Mercy discovers Hawley’s brutally mutilated body in the bar parking lot. When it appears Sheriff Dawson cares more about campaigning for re-election than investigating the case, Mercy vows to find Jason Hawley’s killer—even if she has to run against Dawson for sheriff to ensure justice is served.
But Mercy soon learns her former military pal had plenty of secrets. Her search for the truth brings unwanted exposure to the county’s dark side and risks deadly repercussions for the entire community.–

Chandra, I’m dying for it to come out too, it seems forever ago that I wrote it…
by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 10:08 amMercy’s going to be awesome….i think what i’m looking forward to the most is just getting back to my routine. If I am forced to eat one more forkful of buttery potatoes I think it’s going to be the end of me!!
by sophie littlefield January 5th, 2011 at 10:01 amI won’t be able to hit that routine much until the end of the month, Sophie
by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 10:09 amIt will be interesting to see how Mercy picks herself up after the upheaval in her life at the end of the last book.
I’m looking forward to be on the quarterly “advisory panel” for the first time for a chain sandwich restaurant. I get to eat their food, talk about it and get a gift card for more food. Throw in a book discussion and it would be perfect.
by Anne January 5th, 2011 at 10:02 amYes, Anne, I’ve got quite the surprises in store for readers as far as Miss Mercy
by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 10:09 amLooking forward to Mercy Kill of course, but also looking forward to the days starting to get longer, the light remaining into the early evening as we move toward spring. And, by the end of January I can let go of all those half-assed New Year’s resolutions I’ve already broken (oops, yes, that is a smear of chocolate at the corner of my mouth…)
by Frannie January 5th, 2011 at 10:08 amFrannie, you crack me up!

by Sabrina January 5th, 2011 at 10:12 amHow funny is that, Sabrina — I usually hear the opposite…I didn’t know you wrote hot cowboy books

by Miranda January 5th, 2011 at 11:39 amMiranda, that sounds like fun. I miss shopping for little kiddos…
by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 4:20 pmThe main thing I’m looking forward to this month is finding out what’s going to happen at work. It’s slow where I work and at one point they said they would have to lay-off some people then we heard they wouldn’t. So we’re all waiting to see if we still have a job.
by Sherry S. January 5th, 2011 at 11:41 amSherry, I hope it’s not bad news for anyone in this economy…
by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 4:20 pmYou know Mercy Kill is what I am most anticipating!! Cannot wait.

by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 4:34 pmSTARRED review! That is excellent! I hope people outside of the library world understand how cool that is!
What I’m looking forward to is getting my Christmas cards sent out . . . yeah, I’m that far behind. After that, I’ll be shoveling off my desk, so I am looking forward to seeing cherry laminate. However, if I read Mercy Kill before I get my desk cleared off, that may be what I’m looking forward to for February!

After 50yrs in the same house, and not! wanting to move, it wasn’t safe for her to live alone. She’s now in assisted living and I’m counting the days until she adjusts and quits with the crankiness-and yes, she deserves to be a little cranky. I’m just done with the “lot of” cranky =)
Book cover is beautiful!!!
by Catherine January 5th, 2011 at 6:45 pmThanks Catherine, and good luck with the 103 year old.

by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 9:15 pmMy book club chose Blood Ties one month last summer, and we liked it so much we just happen to be reading No Mercy this month. So far I LOVE it, so it would be GREAT to win the latest installment in the Mercy Gunderson series. We are all fans Of Lori Armstrong! Thank you for your work

by Lori Armstrong January 5th, 2011 at 9:20 pmI am really looking forward to my Kindle arriving in the mail, even though I know it means I’ll be spending a lot more money this month downloading all the books that won’t currenly fit in my overflowing bookcases.
by Nancy Laughlin January 5th, 2011 at 9:33 pmNancy, I’ve decided to upgrade my Sony to a kindle, but not until I’m off book tour

by Lori Armstrong January 6th, 2011 at 8:34 amThis sounds like my kind of book… and I’ve been wanting to find an author whose books I haven’t read. Looking forward to the 11th and Mercy Kill!
by Judy January 5th, 2011 at 10:28 pmHope you give the series a shot, Judy!

Re-reading my favorite cowboys (the McKays) for the ?-time, I’ve lost count…
Sports stuff confuses me, Lori — but I’m happy to hear my McKays are keeping you occupied in the hours in between
by Lori Armstrong January 6th, 2011 at 8:35 amI have a few things that I am really looking forward to this month: One; Mercy Kill, Two; Sherrilyn Keynon’s next Chronicles of Nick book and Three; Starting that last quarter of school. Three more months till graduation!

by Lori Armstrong January 6th, 2011 at 8:36 amI’m looking forward to a long weekend off of work. Being in healthcare I worked the holidays this year.
by Melissa H. January 6th, 2011 at 12:21 amI appreciate the healthcare workers, Melissa, as we needed one over the holidays, hope you get some rest!
by Lori Armstrong January 6th, 2011 at 8:37 amLove the cover. I just ordered No Mercy and can’t wait to read it when it arrives. I’m looking forward to spending an Amazon gift card that I received for Christmas. My book addiction is being fed….hahaha!!!
by savonna January 6th, 2011 at 1:43 amI didn’t receive a single gift card for Christmas this year…weird, so I’m glad you did to feed that addiction, S!
by Lori Armstrong January 6th, 2011 at 8:38 amI gifted my brother’s girlfriend No Mercy for Christmas and she told me she sat down and read all day. I had no idea what to get her, but I guess I did good. I can’t wait to read Mercy Kill!
by Robin January 6th, 2011 at 9:39 amI love to hear that, Robin!
by Lori Armstrong January 6th, 2011 at 3:21 pmlooks good, can’t wait to read this!
by Sarah January 6th, 2011 at 4:37 pmThanks, Sarah!
by Lori Armstrong January 7th, 2011 at 9:06 amI recently discovered Julie Collins (how I miss her!!!) and now Mercy Gunderson. The first thing I wrote in my new 2011 calendar was Mercy Kill release date! I LOVE a butt-kickin’ female protagonist. So the thing I’m looking forward to the most this month is reading Mercy Kill – keep writing Lori!
by TJ January 6th, 2011 at 5:22 pmTJ, I miss Julie too, but Mercy keeps me hopping, that’s for dang sure…
by Lori Armstrong January 7th, 2011 at 9:07 am~I am soooo looking forward to this book! Congrats you are an awesome writer. As for this month…I hope the snow slows down and I get to curl up with a great new book and a glass of wine. ~
by Mindy January 6th, 2011 at 9:08 pmThanks, Mindy, right after our snow melts…we get more. Sigh.
by Lori Armstrong January 7th, 2011 at 9:08 amI can’t wait to read this. I just found out that you also write mystery.
by Beth January 6th, 2011 at 9:20 pmI’m sneaky that way, huh Beth?
by Lori Armstrong January 7th, 2011 at 9:08 amI’m most looking forward to picking up my new car! I’ve driven a ’91 Acura for over 10 years, this will be my first new car, EVER!
Love your RR series but VERY interested in your Mercy books!
by Scorpio M. January 7th, 2011 at 8:06 amCongrats on the new car, Scorpio!!
by Lori Armstrong January 7th, 2011 at 9:08 amI am excited to read a new author. A girlfriend and I swap books to save on money :0) We learn about other author and types. I give her Maya Banks and Lorelie James. And she gives a Christina Dodd and Linda Howard.
by Amy Conner January 7th, 2011 at 8:56 pmMaya and Linda Howard are faves of mine, too.
by Lori Armstrong January 8th, 2011 at 10:02 amI am looking forward to a new month of joy. I lost my grandparents last month within 4 days of each other. I was blessed to be hold Granddaddy’s hand on hours on end the last few days. He told me how much he loved Grams, proud of me and my girls. Even at their age, they would light up when they saw each other. He was 85 and she was 80. They had 12 1/2 years together. Sorry to raddle on such – Anyway a friend loaned me your book and I could not put it down. I read all of them. I am excited to read this new series.
by Amy Conner January 7th, 2011 at 9:04 pmOh, Amy that is so sad…I’m sorry.
Hope my book bring a little distraction.
by Lori Armstrong January 8th, 2011 at 10:01 amLooking forward to my sons evaluation. He’s only 7 and showing great gifts in math while seriously struggling with reading and the like. He’s being evaluated the next two weeks, and then we will find out the results. I just want him to get the help he needs and we have waited four months to get him in with this great doctor!!
by Kristine January 8th, 2011 at 11:20 amGood luck with that, Kristine — I hope it’s good news for your son
by Lori Armstrong January 9th, 2011 at 9:06 amI am looking forward to my day off tomorrow..I only had Christmas day off so I’m more than ready!
by Ivy January 8th, 2011 at 9:50 pmI’m looking forward to my day off on Thursday, Ivy
by Lori Armstrong January 9th, 2011 at 9:05 amLori,
Congrats on the new books and everything good that is happening for you and your family. Your world is rockin’ and that’s great.
I have one request from you… SHOW ME THE LOVE!!! Momma needs a great book, lol!.
Also I think I need to change my name~ there are so many Lisas on here I have to take a double take to make sure I haven’t already posted. I feel like I am losing my mind! Hehe! You could create me a new name…
Thx for listening. Best of Luck,! Lisa G.
by Lisa G. January 9th, 2011 at 2:13 amThere are a lot of Lori’s too…:)
by Lori Armstrong January 9th, 2011 at 9:06 amI have every books you have written until I found out you write under a different name. Who knew, now I have to add to my collection. Love your books and can’t wait to read these. Way to go!!
by cindy new January 9th, 2011 at 11:34 amI have No Mercy in my TBR pile; I’d love to add Mercy Kill so I can read them one right after the other.
by CC January 9th, 2011 at 4:38 pmI’m almost at the end of my TBR pile so am trawling for more to add to it and Mercy Kill sounds perfect!
This January I am most looking forward to my son’s first birthday. Being a mother is a lot harder than I thought it would be and rewarding in ways I never thought of. I do enjoy time to myself though to get stuck into a good book
