Hello everyone--I'm happy to announce that friend and fellow Seton Hill Alum-er, Lee Allen Howard, has announced the launch of his new novel Death Perception this week. Part crime novel, part supernatural thriller, part...funeral pyre 'n smores (I kid you not), this is Lee at his very best--putting you in the front car of the roller coaster, careening you past memorable characters, jostling you through hairpin plot twists, and trying his darndest to scare the bejesus out of you while managing to satiate the most macabre of sweet tooths.It's a really fun read. Be sure to check it out.
Then stop back next Wednesday, May 22, when Lee stops by to guest blog about Using Beta Readers to Evaluate your Fiction right here at Writing is Tricky.
Oh and did I mention he's also started his virtual book tour. Be sure to check out his other appearances throughout the month, listed below.

Book Description
Kennet Singleton cremates the dead... and then they speak:
"Avenge us!"
Nineteen-year-old Kennet Singleton lives with his invalid
mother in a personal care facility, but he wants out. He operates the crematory
at the local funeral home, where he discovers he can discern the cause of death
of those he cremates--by toasting marshmallows over their ashes.
He thinks his ability is no big deal since his customers are
already dead. But when his perception differs from what's on the death
certificate, he finds himself in the midst of murderers. To save the residents
and avenge the dead, Kennet must bring the killers to justice.

Blurbs
"Dastardly devious, cleverly conceived, and just a
whole lot of fun to read, DEATH PERCEPTION is Lee Allen Howard on fire and at
his finest. Rife with winsome weirdness, it's like the mutant stepchild of Carl
Hiaasen and Stephen King, mixing a truly unique paranormal coming-of-age story
with a quirky cast of offbeat noir characters into a novel that's simply
unforgettable... and hilariously original. A supernatural crime story, blazing
with creative intrigue... don't miss it."
--Michael Arnzen, author of Play Dead
"Lee Allen Howard's DEATH PERCEPTION is a red hot union
of Gothic crime thriller and grim humor that burns with supernatural tension.
Beneath the sickly sweet scent of caramelized sugar lies the wildly
entertaining tale of a man who delivers justice to the dead while fanning the
fires of the living. Ever hear the expression, 'laughing in a morgue'? DEATH
PERCEPTION feels just like that. Howard has a gift for crafting eccentric
characters and clever plots. This is dark fun at its best."
--Jason Jack Miller, author of The Devil and Preston Black and Hellbender
"DEATH PERCEPTION has officially made me envious of Lee
Allen Howard. It sings like a choir of angels, yet weeps like a ghost in
winter. Everyone should have this in their collection.”
--Trent Zelazny, author of To Sleep Gently and Butterfly
