Born in Death J.D. Robb ( Nora Roberts)

Born in Death by J.D. Robb

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I’m a big fan on all of Nora Robert’s books. Here she is writing as J.D Robb. Set in the 2060 Eve Dallas is a feisty Lieutenant in the NYPSD, thrown into a double murder investigation, Eve and her team must dig deep under the layers of a top accounting firm. Meanwhile Eve and her sexy Irish Husband have agreed to be birthing partners for her best friend Mavis. As the birth draws nearer, they attend prep classes and Eve must organise a baby shower. For Eve these matters are much more fearsome than finding the killer of her victims. On top of this Mavis has a friend who goes missing and she pressures Eve to run this second investigation alongside the first. The tension builds when a third body turns up and still Mavis’s missing friend doesn’t show. Running on little sleep and too much caffeine Eve finally finds a horrifying link between them all, will she be able to rescue Tandy in time?

5)Pass on 3 tips about writing or publishing.

1. Create your marketing strategy as you are writing. Figure out who will enjoy your book. Things like blurbs and covers should fit that profile.
2. Plan ahead for publishing. There are a slew of actions, especially submitting an ARC to reviewers, that must be planned months in advance.
3. Write daily. When people ask what you do, “I’m a writer.”

“Dune” by Brian Herbert, for about the 20th time. One of my two all-time fave novels.

“Little Deadly Things” (Description from Goodreads)

When abusive parents raise brilliant children, you might end up with a saint, or a killer…or one of each.

Little Deadly Things is the place where science meets the psyche, where humanity’s future is in the hands of a madwoman and the family that must stop her.

The seeds of an apocalyptic race–to save mankind or to destroy it–were sown in the earliest years of two scientists. Young Eva Rozen witnessed her sister’s brutal murder, and barely escaped with her life. She found refuge in the orderly world of science. Twenty-five years later, this master of nanotechnology is the world’s richest woman…and the most dangerous.

Marta Cruz also endured a troubled childhood. Her mother’s death and her father’s incarceration left her an orphan, and a crippling disease left her in pain. Marta’s refuge? A tropical rain forest where she discovers plants with miraculous healing properties under the tutelage of her shamanistic grandmother.

The two girls meet in high school and form an uneasy friendship that lasts through college. Eva wants power, profit–and Marta’s husband. She offers to fund Marta’s public health dreams in exchange for the ailing physician’s knowledge of plant-based medicines. Together, they build the world’s largest nanotech manufacturer.

When the unstable Eva has a psychotic break, and attacks the people who rely on her for survival, only Marta can stand between Eva and the death of millions. But Marta is a healer, not a fighter, and must rely on her husband and teenaged son, a boy who faces a life-or-death challenge well beyond his years.

Here is a chilling look at a future that is already on our doorstep–and a study of the two women who will decide the fate of mankind.
