Almost a year ago, Maria Grazia invited me on her blogs (HERE and HERE) to promote the release of Charlotte Collins: A Continuation of Jane Austen’s Pride and Prejudice, a book that I self-published in the hopes of gaining a traditional publishing contract. What I didn’t know then was that I would fall in love with book industry and decide to start my own publishing company, Whiteley Press, which is dedicated to bringing professional-quality fiction and nonfiction books and ebooks to market.
In July, I released my second book—Absolute Liability: A Southern Fraud Thriller—under the Whiteley Press imprint, and it has since climbed into the Amazon (US) Kindle Top 100 Bestsellers list. Seeing such a positive response to this book has literally been a dream come true for me, and I am grateful to everyone who has taken a chance on a new mystery/thriller author. Now, I am excited to be able to share my book here, with those who played such a large role in the success of Charlotte Collins.
Absolute Liability
Meet Julia Jackson. Apparently, she’s been abducted....
A woman is taken at gunpoint from the downtown office of Southeastern Insurance, and the police believe the victim is Special Agent Julia Jackson. Only it isn't true.
Now, with the help of her new partner Mark Vincent, state fraud investigator Julia Jackson must find justice for the woman who was taken in her place.
As Vincent and Julia begin to unravel the multimillion-dollar frauds that led to the abduction, they encounter a cast of quirky characters, one of whom will go to desperate lengths to hide a deadly secret.
Things only become more dangerous as bodies begin accumulating around town, and Julia must discover the truth before the abductor comes to rectify his mistake.
Absolute Liability is the first in the six-book Southern Fraud Thriller series, which blends suspense, humor, and Southern charm with just a touch of romance. If you enjoy reading humorous mysteries or watching TV crime dramedies like Castle or The Mentalist, you should like Absolute Liability.
Death Benefits (Southern Fraud book 2) will be released in January!

Congrats, Jennifer on your success. I have not read thrillers in a long time but I'm willing to give this a try. You have pique my interest.

Oh! I hope you enjoy the book. I had so much fun writing it! It's quite a different world from Jane Austen though. :)

Congratulations Jennifer. I wrote a novel myself and I've just finished another. Publishing is always a problem and I was so disappointed with my first novel that I don't know if I will try again, but writing is a pleasure, always!!! I wish you all the best with your career and I'd love to read your book.

Yay! I want to win :) Even though I've already read, and loved, Absolute Liability, I'd like to gift it to a friend! Thanks for the chance!
Hi Jennifer!
I liked Charlotte Collins so much, I'm looking forward to reading Absolute Liability, even though thrillers aren't normally a genre I read!
I just passed Charlotte Collins on to my mom, too. :)

Thanks Jess!
Liz, I'm so glad you liked Charlotte Collins. I am also glad you're willing to give Absolute Liability a shot even though it's not your normal genre. It's kind of a gentle thriller. LOL It's probably not going to keep you up at night or anything. My mother in law read it and she doesn't do them either. :)
