On Monday at Make Mine Mystery I asked everyone to share something about their works in progress. (You can still do so, if you wish, by clicking the link I just provided.)
Today, I'm asking you to let us know what you have out now. Just mention one, please, because it's hard enough for people to remember even that. Also, provide one or two buy links to make it easier for people who are tempted to cave in.
I'll start with mine:
Killer Career by Morgan Mandel
A career change from lawyer to writer seems tame enough.Not when your mentor, a bestselling author, not only writes about murders, but also has a vested interest in them. Not when your law partner won't let you go without a fight.
99 cents on Kindle and Smashwords.
Now It's Your Turn --- What do you have out now?

Great idea, Morgan. Congrats on the nomination, Elle. That's fabulous!
For me, my first children's book came out in Aug 2010, Little Shepherd. It's a retelling of the Christmas story from a 5-year-old shepherd's POV.
Eager to hear about more of your readers' books.

Just because a man makes Danny DeVito look tall, dark and handsome, is that any reason to kill him? Quirky Lee Alvarez, 1/2 Latina, 1/2 WASP, and 100% detective doesn't think so. Murder is a Family Business , book one of the Alvarez Murder Mystery Series, at MuseItUp Publishing, Kindle, etc.
Thanks so much, Morgan! you're a doll.
