BOOK COVER REVEAL THE ANALYST- BOOK 2 THE D'AZZO FAMILY SERIES --AND SALE!

Happy Wednesday, Everyone!

Today is the official Book Cover Reveal for my new release, The Analyst, Book 2 of The D'Azzo Family series. I love this cover and so very proud of the story. This is what my wonderful editor, Julie Sturgeon, has to say about it. 


"Every career has a high point, and it’s rarely the glitzy moments. It’s that moment of deep satisfaction, a personal joy, something that awes you. This story is that for me."




You waited a long time for this story. It's been an interesting road since March 2018 when Simon & Schuster closed the doors unexpectedly to my imprint, Crimson Romance. The Eyewitness and The Analyst sat for months in the mess that followed. But that's in the past. 

Thank you for your patience. I'm placing The Analyst is up for PRE-ORDER for only $0.99. It will return to its normal price right after it releases. 

In honor of this book cover reveal, I have also placed the digital version of The Eyewitness on a Kindle Countdown Deal for only 7 days at $0.99



The Analyst Blurb:

Fans of Blue Bloods won’t want to miss this chapter of the D’Azzo family. 
FBI analyst Tessa D’Azzo has been tasked with a tough job even for her unusual skills: tear decorated police officer Oliver Gates’s life apart to find out why he went on a killing rampage before the Beltway sniper put a bullet through his heart. Anyone else would have missed the one link Tessa uncovers that connects Gates’s death, the sniper, and her own father’s murderer. 

But she reports to the one detective whose goal in life is to bury her career. Just let him try to distract her from using her advantage to hunt down this murderer. 

Gates’s replacement, Captain Eric Logan, has had his fill of Tessa’s brilliant but erratic mind, her unfounded theories, and the way she haunts his dreams. He owes Joe D’Azzo a great debt and is determined to find who’s behind his friend’s murder without Tessa’s interference destroying his case. 
Yet when grief overwhelms Tessa’s focus, Eric’s closeness is the only thing that centers her. And he can’t squelch the desire to convince her that life is about more than working the case.  Maybe this time, she doesn’t have to fight the battle alone. 


With the killer close enough to touch and Tessa the target, will love transform them to true partners?

*** If you have read The Eyewitness the first time around under my publisher, Crimson Romance, THANK YOU! It's the same amazing story with just a few minor cosmetic changes. With that said, you may want to give it a re-read. Book 2, The Analyst will be out this summer. For everyone else, check below why I think you will love this story. 


WHAT READERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THE EYEWITNESS...


"With an in-depth plot, characters that jump off the page and into the heart, and writing for the intellectual mind, The Eyewitness is a tale for the ages. 
Crown of Excellence - InD'tale Magazine

"Nancy C. Weeks absolutely astounds with this fabulous first in a series. I am already eagerly awaiting the next in this romantic suspense set ... I enjoyed how close knit the family and the Baltimore police community is in this story. The connections and the relationships don't feel forced or faked, and I can't wait to delve a little farther into other various departments, agencies or sections of law enforcement and the people whose lives revolve around it. If you like your romantic suspense to be smart and sexy this is a must read."
5 Stars Top Pick  Night Owl Reviews

"This was a fascinating story that I enjoyed immensely. I love it when the author writes such great emotional characters, and this author wrote the characters and their emotions well. I didn’t just read this book, I absorbed this book, experienced every part of this book and every depth of emotion within these pages. From grief, to heartache, to anger and joy and everything in between".
Author Angela Smith

"Excellent, fast-paced romantic suspense novel. I loved Em for her smarts and courage, while Alec was a complex beta hero with a troubled past and a heart of gold. Their chemistry was palpable, and I thoroughly enjoyed the variety of their interactions as they navigated the mine field of murder and mayhem in the Greater D.C. area. The ending was satisfying, yet it left a plot point or two unresolved - but this only added to my anticipation for the sequel. Nancy C. Weeks, I look forward to what comes next. Five stars!
Author Deborah O'Neil Cordes

This was my first read by Nancy Weeks and it was riveting! The Eyewitness is a well written mystery with plenty of action to keep the pages turning. Really enjoyed the relationship between Emersyn and Alec and how he fits into her family. I just have to add ... that dance between them ... hot! Can't wait to read the next book.
Author Christy Newton

In celebration of the release of The EyewitnessHis One Wish will be part of a KINDLE COUNTDOWN DEAL from April 22 through April 29 for $0.99. Still Free on Kindle Unlimited. 




I loved creating both these stories for you. The characters came alive to me, and my greatest wish as an author is that my stories give you a few quiet moments of escape from your stressful life. Happy Reading.

Hugs to all,
Nancy C. Weeks

WELCOME J. ARLENE CULINER, AUTHOR OF DESERT ROSE

"I’ve discovered forgotten communities, have met strange characters and had some very odd conversations."

Hello Everyone!

Today, I sitting down with a very dear woman, J.Arlene Culiner, author of Desert Rose. We have a wonderful conversation in store so I'm just going to get right to it. But first, let's meet J. Arlene. She really is lovely. 


Thank you J. Arlene for sitting down with me.  To start off this interview, tell us a little about yourself--the real Erin behind the writer.

Thank you for inviting me to your blog Nancy. Write about myself ? Well… it’s a bit complicated… When very young, I set out to have a life of adventure and discovery, not one of security and comfort – although those things can certainly can be appealing when confronted by life’s more dangerous moments. I’ve since crossed much of Europe on foot, traveled, by bus, train, car or truck throughout North and Central America, Europe and the Sahara, and lived in unique places — a Hungarian mud house, a Bavarian castle, a Turkish cave dwelling, on a Dutch canal, in a lonely, very haunted stone house on the English moors, and presently in a 400-year-old former inn in a small French village. 

My sort of lifestyle has meant staying flexible and taking up any sort of work that presented itself: belly dancer, fortune teller, translator, model, b-girl, story teller, radio broadcaster, actress, social critical artist, photographer and writer.
Along the way, I’ve discovered forgotten communities, have met strange characters and had some very odd conversations. I cherish these experiences because they’ve kept me on my toes, way beyond my comfort zone. Of course, I do incorporate these experiences into my books. 

So far, I’ve had five romances published and, as Jill Culiner, two mysteries and two narrative non-fiction works, and I have another non-fiction work looking for a publisher. I also narrate audiobooks and I have a storytelling podcast — Life in a Small French Village — which can be heard here: https://soundcloud.com/j-arlene-culiner

Wow! What an amazing life. J Arlene, you have taken the motto, 'living life to it's fullest' to new levels. You mentioned above you used your life experiences in your writing. How did you come to write Desert Rose? Such a cute cover. 


My latest romance, Desert Rose, is set in Blake’s Folly, Nevada, a rundown semi-ghost town of trailers, shacks and old cars. This quirky community with it’s strange local characters was the setting for another of my romances — All About Charming Alice (a new version of the book will soon be released by Fire Star Press) — and I wanted to return to Blake’s Folly and write about Alice’s best friend, Rose Badger. To tell the truth, Rose had been nagging me for quite some time, demanding the limelight, and I’m glad she did. She is a delightful character: gutsy, original, open-minded. As soon as the very appealing, honorable and sexy Jonah Livingstone (he’s part Paiute, part Italian) walks into her shop, he’s entranced too.

Of course, it’s the secondary characters in Blake’s Folly that I particularly love. True misfits, they don’t fit into neat houses and tidy gardens. Rebels — not by choice, but by character — they’re the real thing. And they’re also nosy, interfering and truculent.

As for the locale, I have managed to wander into two desert communities that were very much like Blake’s Folly. They have a special place in my heart and I wanted to share them with romance readers who are looking for an original, out-of-the way setting.
