Here It Is...Ticket to Ride Contest


It’s December and only two weeks to the release of Ticket to Ride. Wow, it seems like it took a long time to get here. To me anyway.

Today starts the giveaway for Ticket to Ride. I’m going to add a new element. The winner will be chosen randomly among those who can correctly answer one of three questions. You only need to answer one correctly when you comment.

The qualifying questions are:

1) What is the name of Michael’s brother in Car Wash?
2) What mental illness does Craig have in Perfect Man?
3) How does Justin make his living in Trust?

There you have the questions. Hopefully you can find one of those that you know the answer to.

Here is the official blurb if anyone is interested:
Chad Storm's longtime on-again, off-again boyfriend has a ticket to ride on a plane to Maryland and out of Chad's life for good. But someone decides on a more permanent end to their relationship. Former lead singer of the rock band, Lightning, Chad is working on his comeback album when he finds the body of his murdered ex-lover floating in his swimming pool.
Lieutenant Jack Reeves, from the homicide division, has never heard of Lightning, but now he has a gruesome murder to solve. The more he learns of Chad, the more intrigued he becomes, and his protective instincts kick in when Chad begins to receive strange phone calls—from the dead man.
Jack doesn't believe in ghosts and knows someone is trying to mess with Chad, leading him to think someone close to the singer could have murderous intentions. But his attraction to Chad takes him off the investigation.
Drawn to each other, Chad and Jack begin a steamy affair, and that brings the ruthless killer out of hiding...

  14. Hey Shawn,
    Craig had Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder.

    I absolutely adored reading Perfect Man...it's one of those books that I always go back and re-read because it's just so poignant and beautifully written.

    Happy Reading
