You may remember that in March 2017, I featured Marianne Delacourt's Too Sharp on Books, Life and Everything. If you want a refresher, follow the link here.
It is my most popular post to date. Marianne has the fourth in the series about Tara Sharp, Sharp Edge coming out on 24th October 2017. I am very happy to have been invited to share the cover of Too Sharp with you, so...
...here it is...
What's it about? Here's what the publishers, Twelfth Planet Press have to say:
Sharp Edge takes
fans deeper into Tara’s world, where her PI business is flourishing and
continuing to take advantage of her uncanny ability to read people's
auras. As amazing as that sounds, it means that gang warfare and
underworld violence are (slightly) higher up her list of priorities than
typical boy, money and parent problems. In the latest instalment, she’s
tasked with uncovering a shady character in the fashion world, but
she’s about to collide with a few dangerous figures from her past.
Tara’s
ex-boyfriend and current accountant, Garth Wilmot, discovers someone is
cooking the books at Chic Chic fashion house where his new girlfriend
works. When his life is threatened if he doesn’t turn a blind eye,
he goes to Tara for advice. Learning that gang lord Johnny Viaspa is
involved, Tara knows that helping Garth could be dangerous to her
health. Equally pressing is the small matter of a favour she owes a
local bikie group, and they seem intent on calling it in right now…
“It’s been fantastic to see the reaction from fans worldwide to the last couple of novels,” says author MARIANNE DELACOURT.
“Fans seem to love how relatable Tara is as a character. Despite
growing her own business, she’s still the Tara we love, navigating her
complex love life, supporting her best friends, tolerating her parents,
and going through all the stresses facing women of her age. I hope
Tara’s fans continue to love spending time with her as much as I do.”
Sharp Edge is due for release 24 October 2017 - available for worldwide delivery, printed in the UK and US. Book One Sharp Shooter, Book Two Sharp Turn and Book Three Too Sharp are available from Twelfth Planet Press and from Amazon. Book One in the Tara Sharp series, Sharp Shooter was
the 2010 winner of the Davitt Award for Best Crime Novel and nominated
for the Ned Kelly Award 2010 Best First Crime Novel. Twelfth Planet
Press are an advocate of women's voices in science fiction, fantasy, horror and crime genres and a natural home for Delacourt.
Author MARIANNE DELACOURT is
the alter ego of award-winning, internationally-published Science
Fiction writer Marianne de Pierres. Renowned for dark satire in her
Science Fiction, Marianne offers lighter, funnier writing under her
Delacourt penname. As Delacourt, Marianne is also the author of Young
Adult fiction series Night Creatures (Burn Bright, Angel Arias and Shine Light).
She is a co-founder of the Vision Writers Group and ROR - wRiters on
the Rise, a critiquing group for professional writers. Marianne lives in
Brisbane with her husband and two galahs.
Australian Publisher TWELFTH PLANET PRESS seeks to challenge
the status quo with books that interrogate, commentate and inspire.
While showcasing the depth and breadth of Australian fiction to a wider
audience, Twelfth Planet Press aims to provide opportunities for fiction
written by female writers, raising awareness of women's voices in
science fiction, fantasy, horror and crime genres.
Twelfth
Planet Press have championed underrepresented voices from the very
start. They celebrate genre writing by women and have recently announced
a new imprint
which encourages representation in children’s literature. Previous
projects include the acclaimed Twelve Planets series of twelve short
collections of short fiction by Australian women and Kaleidoscope, an anthology of diverse YA fiction, published in 2014.
