Giving You: Prime Time
Thanks to the generosity of my bud Hank Phillippi Ryan, I’ve got one autographed copy of Hank’s debut novel, Prime Time, to send to a friend in the US. (This is the re-release on Mira Books, with the sexy cover. Check it.)
Prime Time… let’s talk about it ’cause you do NOT want to miss its re-release. Why not, you ask?
WELL. Look at the accolades it won:
Winner of the prestigious AGATHA Award for Best First Novel
RITA Nominee Best First Novel and Best Romantic Suspense
DAPHNE Nominee Best Romantic Suspense
RT Reviewers Choice Award Winner and TOP PICK
Hello? You missed it???? I’ve got my copy sitting on the floor behind me (along with the follow-up, Face Time). I’m going to read it and then we’ll have more Hank goodness around here.
Here’s the cover blurb:
PRIME TIME introduces forty-something investigative reporter Charlotte (Charlie) McNally. Charlie’s smart, savvy and successful—but she’s worried her news director is about to replace her with a younger model. Now—she’s on the hunt for the story that will save her job.
Is it hiding in her email? Charlie begins to suspect some of that annoying Spam clogging her computer is more than cyber junk. She discovers it actually carries big-money secret messages to the big-shot insiders who know how to decode it. Problem is, the last outsider who deciphered the system now resides in the local morgue.
It’s either the biggest story of Charlie’s career—or the one that may end her life.
Charlie’s also facing another dilemma: what happens when a top-notch TV reporter is married to her job—but the camera doesn’t love her anymore? It’s an action-filled page-turner, with humor, romance and a scheme so timely and innovative you’ll wonder why someone hasn’t tried it. A twist of an ending will have readers going back to the beginning to check for all the clues they missed.
To enter, leave a comment. Yep, I’ll give extra entries for anyone who blogs about this or otherwise spreads the word (Twitter, Facebook, or if your friend enters and says you sent them).
You have until next Tuesday, July 7, and then I’ll contact the winner, so be sure to leave your e-mail address! No contact info, no entry. I’ve got books to read and, more importantly, books to WRITE.
I just read a great mystery with a female reporter as protagonist (Stalking Susan by Julie Kramer) so I’m “primed”
to read Prime Time! Thanks for the suggestion!

June 30th, 2009 at 11:12 am[...] It’s not often that I get into the book giveaway game. But… as I’ve said before, Hank Phillippi Ryan’s a friend. And her books (Prime Time and Face Time) have been languishing on Mt. TBR with everything else. No wonder I itch every time I walk past that thing. I want to read everything on it. BADLY. [...]
June 30th, 2009 at 11:13 amIt sounds great! I love that it was written about a 40 something protagonist. You don’t have a lot of books written about that demographic.
June 30th, 2009 at 12:28 pmI love a mystery with some humor in it, and some romance doesn’t hurt either. Thanks for entering me.
