April/May Tour Dates

I am visiting *every* corner of my beloved home state this April and May, signing at bookstores and presenting at libraries, where I'll be talking about my books, how I write, and my path to publication.

I hope you'll stop by. Questions will be so, so welcome.

THE REAPING Cover Reveal

THE REAPING, the sequel to the Edgar-nominated thriller THE TAKEN ONES, officially has a cover! I think the artist did a masterful job teasing the utter creepiness of this book. I hope you'll preorder your copy today.

New MAY DAY Cover!

May Day, my very first published novel, has a new cover! It also has some snappy new dialogue, top-notch editing, and my favorite part of the re-release? The series will finally be out in audiobook! It releases April 30, but you can preorder now wherever books are sold.

I'll be touring this spring and summer to celebrate, including a signing in Battle Lake during Chief Wenonga Days!!! There are not enough exclamation points for me to convey how thrilled I am, so you're just gonna have to trust me.

Stay tuned for details, and in the meanwhile, make sure you're subscribed to my newsletter to be automatically entered in a May Day promo box giveaway (it'll be "Minnesota in the late '90s" themed).

PRAISE FOR MAY DAY

"This trade paperback packed a punch...I loved it from the get-go!" ―Tulsa World

"What a romp this is! I found myself laughing out loud..." ―Crimespree Magazine

"Mira is the strength of the book. She has a unique voice, full of irreverent humor...I couldn't help rooting for [her]." ―All about Romance

"Meet this witty heroine in Lourey's engaging new series." ―Mystery Scene Magazine

"May Day starts the action rolling with a clever mystery and some snappy writing . . . These pages are filled with fresh dialogue!" ―In the Library

"Mira digs up a closetful of dirty secrets, including sex parties, cross-dressing and blackmail, on her way to exposing the killer. Lourey's debut has a likeable heroine and surfeit of sass." ―Kirkus Reviews
