The official launch of my new novel, Sleight of Hand, was held at the Bluegrass Chapter of CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocate). All of the proceeds were donated to this great organization. We raised close to $500 in just 90 minutes! When I wrote Car Thief, the local CASA director read my novel and told me this boy needed a CASA worker! So when I wrote Sleight of Hand, I made sure my young protagonist, Alex, got one. Because Alex was committed to child welfare, he was eligible. Kelly, my Car Thief kiddo, being purely a juvenile justice youth, was not. But wouldn’t it be great if juvenile justice kids got one too? An independent person looking out for their best interest! Sleight of Hand is available from Amazon, on my website, or it can be ordered from any bookstore. If you read it and like it, please leave a review on Amazon and/or Goodreads. Thanks so much!
