Criminal Element is celebrating “Allison Brennan August” — LOL. I cracked up when I saw the plan, but I’m really excited because my Maxine Revere/Lucy Kincaid crossover SHATTERED will be out on August 22 and leading up to it, Criminal Elements is reviewing all 12 of the Lucy Kincaid books, the 3 Max Revere books, and all their respective novellas.
And today I have a guest blog!
The end of last week and all weekend I was writing blogs and articles for different websites and my publisher. All things that need to be done … but isn’t actually writing. I mean, it’s WRITING, but not creative writing. I’m in the middle of writing ABANDONED, Maxine Revere #5, while awaiting revisions for BREAKING POINT, Lucy Kincaid #13. Still, it was fun and a needed break.
Oh, and I’m writing a short story for a charity anthology to benefit victims of domestic violence. It was an idea and draft I had a long time ago, but didn’t have the skill to write it the way I wanted … now, hopefully, I do.
So here are the links to the reviews and blogs so far:
My blog today about iZombie as I eagerly await season four!
Review: “Maximum Exposure” a Maxine Revere prequel
Review: NOTORIOUS, Maxine Revere #1
Review: “Love is Murder” a Lucy Kincaid prequel
Review: LOVE ME TO DEATH, Lucy Kincaid #1
Review: KISS ME, KILL ME, Lucy Kincaid #2
Review: IF I SHOULD DIE, Lucy Kincaid #3
Anyway, enjoy the blogs! I’m back to writing … then Thursday night I’m taking the red-eye to Toronto to speak to the Toronto RWA about Thrills, Chills and Villains … I can’t wait!
Favorite quote this week (Stolen from Jon Land)

Look at you, busy lady! Thrilled to see you getting all this attention. You deserve it for all your hard work and amazing writing! *nods* Here’s to many words and safe travels. *lifts a cup of coffee*
Hugs girlfriend! I’ll have coffee with you any day 🙂
I am a big fan of your books, my goal for this year is to finish reading all of them. I am reading Two to Die For right now and have to say I am disappointed to find so many grammatical errors in both novellas. It’s like someone only used spellcheck to check for errors instead of actually reading the book. Spelling is correct but the sentences are not. ie using the they in a sentence. I’m sure you didn’t write it that way, but maybe when it was typed out it happened. Just thought you might want to know about it. I love your work. You are right up there next to J A Jance
and Micheal Connelly. I’m looking forward to reading Shattered next.
Hi Jo — Sorry I just saw your post!
I have a list of about 8-10 errors that were published in TWO TO DIE FOR and when I have an opportunity I’ll make the fixes. I know it’s frustrating for readers — it’s also frustrating for me. I write the book and edit it, but I don’t see all of my mistakes because I often see what I expect to see because I wrote it. I have an editor and a proofreader for all my self-published work, and I take one final read through … but in the future, I’m going to invest in a second proofreader. My traditional publisher hires 3 (1 copy editor and 2 proofreaders) and I’m going to have to do the same in order to avoid these kinds of errors.
Thanks for writing, and I’m so happy you enjoy my books (errors notwithstanding!) ~ Allison
