Well, I was so loud about the release of FADE TO BLACK last month that I’ve kind of burned myself out on promo’ing, and figured I’d burned all of you out, too. But, I do have another book coming out!
PITCH BLACK, book # 2 of the Black CATs trilogy, IS ALREADY HITTING STORES! (I saw it at a Border’s yesterday.) July just flew by, August is just about here, and I’ve barely spoken about my August book. And because it looks like the series is already getting lost amid all the big summer releases, I wanted to try to share a few reasons why the book might be up your alley.
Let me start by saying this: For those who thought FADE TO BLACK sounded too dark, too violent, or not enough of a romance, please do consider giving PITCH BLACK a try, anyway. This book is by far the most traditional “romantic-suspense” of the three. Don’t get me wrong, there are very dark themes and there are murders. But they’re much more psychological–much less in-your-face than in the first book. Emotional and sad more than brutal and bloody. (Like with FADE TO BLACK, the prologue–which is absolutely the most heart-wrenching scene in the book, is available on my website.)
Second, the hero and heroine are Leslie Kelly characters in a Leslie Parrish novel. She’s a little vulnerable, snarky and self-deprecating. He’s sexy, smart and charming–a bit of a playboy. Their relationship is flirtatious, they banter, the sexual tension is high, and they’re together a lot, so there’s every bit as much focus on them as there is on the case.
And honestly, the plot of this one is just really cool. There are clues and red herrings, a really strong whodunnit element, and I think it’ll keep you guessing. For most readers, when it all comes together, there’s a big, “Oh, MAN, how did I not see that?” kind of reaction.
I like this book. A lot. It’s not my personal favorite of the three, but every strictly-romance reader I know who’s read it has loudly proclaimed it theirs. The reviews have been terrific. All 3 books got 4-1/2 stars from Romantic Times, but PITCH BLACK definitely had the best quote: “Elegantly woven plots, filled with action and psychological drama, make this dynamic series mesmerizing.” One reviewer who’s reviewed many of my Leslie Kelly books also wrote to me and said, “Hey Leslie, here is your review for PITCH BLACK which was the absolute best book that I’ve ever read in my life. ” (The review was great, too… <g>)
I honestly think the series is worth checking out. And because of that, I’m going to offer to send autographed copies of the first book, FADE TO BLACK, to five random commenters today. All I ask is that if you really like it, you go out and buy your own copy of PITCH BLACK. (Recommending it to other romantic-suspense readers would be a-okay with me, too…lol!) Sound fair?
PS: If you have already bought & read FADE TO BLACK I’d love to know your opinion! And if you’re one of the five winners, you can choose another book from my Leslie Kelly backlist.
Hope you enjoy the excerpt…just click below!
UPDATED to add: I just added “the rest of the scene” onto my Leslie Parrish blog, if you’d like to read on.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
With a pencil stuck behind her ear, reading glasses perched on the tip of her nose, and her fingers flying across her keyboard so fast they barely connected with the letters, the last thing Samantha Dalton wanted to do was answer her front door, on which someone had just knocked. She’d finally hit her stride. The flicker of an idea had met the tinder of her own creativity and burst into an inferno of words that had to erupt out of her or be lost forever. Overblown imagery, but, as usual when she was on a deadline, it kept her glued to her chair.
Knock knock. Harder now.
She continued to ignore the interruption, riding the wave of energy she always relied upon when working on the columns and articles she wrote for her site, samthespaminator.com. Especially ones like this, her weekly Sam’s Rant, which would go live on her blog late tomorrow night. The Wednesday night rant, her most popular feature, was also the toughest for her to write. Getting things off her chest, while maintaining her professional credibility had become a weekly balancing act. She chose every word carefully, despite the title of the column, never truly ranting. Though, right now, she wanted to because of the annoying knocking.
Having become a hermit since her divorce, at least, so her mother called her, she’d become adept at ignoring the odd salesman or nosy neighbor who dared to disregard the warning on her front door. But as the knocking continued, her eye started to twitch. Her voice low, she mumbled, “Can’t you read?”
She’d put the Do Not Disturb sign outside at noon, feeling optimistic that she’d spend the whole afternoon actually writing. Maybe even do something as adventurous as get dressed in real clothes.
It hadn’t happened. Instead, she’d surfed the day away, still wearing the sweats she’d donned after her shower. The Web had sucked away hours of her life, as it so often did lately.
Somehow, since the moment a judge with emotionless eyes had signed the piece of paper ending the four year roller-coaster ride of her marriage, she hadn’t felt like Miss Get Up And Go. These days, Miss Got Up, Went, And Got Her Ass Handed Back To Her was content to stay right where she was.
Fortunately, the day hadn’t been totally wasted. She had found inspiration for tomorrow night’s column. But while researching, she’d also cruised blogs, played a few—okay, ten—hands of Spider Solitaire, and stumbled across stories here and tidbits there that grabbed her attention.
Still, she’d finally gotten down to business and the piece was coming along nicely. At least, it had been until the arrival of the person at the door, whose voice brought her irritation level up a notch.
“Ma’am, please answer the door.”
Fat chance. She still had to do updates for her weekly Top 10 SPIT–aka Sam’s SPam hIT—list. There was research to be done on a new phishing scheme targeting Facebook users. She had an interview to do for a tech blog. And she had about three dozen emails to answer. Not much time for chit-chat. Not much time for life, even.
Yet she’d surfed away many of her working hours.
“Loser,” she muttered.
“Miss Dalton? We need to talk to you,” the voice said.
If she had a real office, rather than working out of the living room of her Baltimore apartment, she might have been able to continue ignoring the intrusion. But as it was, she had no escape. So Sam saved her file, then trudged to the door.
Glancing out the front window and seeing a man wearing a suit, she figured she was in for some soul-saving or a high-end sales pitch. Or both. “What is it?” she snapped, yanking the door open.
The man had his hand raised, ready to knock again, and her first impression was that he had big hands. Big fists. Strong-looking fingers. Her second was that if door-to-door salesmen now looked like this, lots more women would be lining up to buy vacuum cleaners and magazine subscriptions. Female shoppers all over the world were probably clamoring for deliveries.
Not her though. She wasn’t buying. Especially not from men who looked like him.
“I’m sorry to disturb you,” the man said. “It really is important.”
The face was handsome–square jawed, strong featured, with heavily lashed eyes and hollowed cheeks. Handsome enough to put Sam’s guard up. She didn’t trust handsome men, not after Samuel Dalton Jr. Her ex had been movie star gorgeous.
Sam and Sam. God, why hadn’t someone slapped her when she’d accepted his proposal?
As he stepped closer, Sam had to tilt her head back. He was tall, easily topping her five-eight by several inches. Broad-shoulders seemed to fill all the empty space between one side of the door frame and the other. With light brown hair and a friendly gleam in the pale green eyes, she’d have expected a natural smile on his nicely shaped lips. But there was none. His expression remained polite but entirely neutral.
Absolutely the only thing that said he wasn’t one-hundred percent professional was the way his stare lingered for half a beat too long on her mouth. Which instantly made her want to lick her lips, even while she mentally cursed herself for the reaction.
“You are Miss Dalton? Samantha Dalton?”
“Mrs. Dalton,” she clarified, strictly from habit. Technically, she was no longer a Mrs. Dalton, not since her Mr. Dalton had found a Miss Slut-face to shack up with instead. Sam and Ashley. So much better. But she’d found the moniker useful in dealing with the occasional cyber stalker and it fell off her lips as a matter of course these days.
“You are the Sam Dalton from the Sam The Spaminator website?”
Still feeling awkward about answering the door in sweats and slippers, she nodded hard. Her glasses slipped past the tip of her nose as she did so. Sam caught them as they bounced off, smudging the lenses with her tight fingers.
Reminding herself she didn’t care what the hot guy with the sexy jaw and rock-hard body thought of her looks, she asked, “Do you need me to sign for something?”
He waved the leather wallet he’d been holding, which she hadn’t even noticed. It contained a badge. Sam immediately tensed.
“I’m Special Agent Lambert of the FBI. This is Special Agent Stokes. May we come in?”
She hadn’t even seen the woman. Sam nodded at her, saw the same emotionless expression, then let herself process the situation.
It didn’t take long. “Did you say FBI?” she snapped.
“Yes. We’d like to talk to you.”
God, not again. “Look, I tell people how to avoid scams, I’m not running one myself.” She thrust a frustrated hand through her hair, her fingers tangling in the loose ponytail, knocking several long, blond strands down around her face. “I’m not a hacker and my site and book are not secret instruction manuals for criminals looking for new ways to steal people’s money.”
She’d heard it all since she’d started her blog, and since she’d published her book Don’t Get Tangled In The Web. Some legal types seemed to think she was helping the criminals more than hurting them. “Don’t you Cyber Crimes geeks have enough to do without harassing me?”
The man’s shoulders un-stiffened a fraction but his partner didn’t look at all amused.
“You’re not in any trouble, ma’am,” he said. “We’re actually here to ask for your assistance. We’re researching a crime, and have reason to think you were in contact with one of the people involved. We’re hoping you can help us figure out what happened.”
She hesitated. Sam didn’t like people invading her space, especially people who called her ma’am. When she wanted contact with the outside world, she sought it out herself. Sometimes. She did not invite it in when it showed up unannounced at her door, nor did she generally accept unwanted invitations.
Especially from men. And there had been a few—including some from her own divorce attorney who had made it clear that whenever she was ready to get back into the dating game, he wanted to be first in line.
Sure. Like any woman wanted to go out with the man who’d seen her at the lowest point in her life. Who’d heard every ugly, vicious word her ex-husband had said about her.
She had to hand it to him, though. Rick Young, the attorney in question, hadn’t given up even though she’d kept saying no.
“Ma’am?”
Sam sighed, already knowing this agent would not take no for an answer. Stepping back, she gestured the pair in. “Fine.” She’d give them five minutes then it was back to her column. And maybe a dinner break with a pint of Ben and Jerry’s, who had, until this very minute, been the only males inside her apartment in months.
But before they’d taken a half-dozen steps inside, the female agent glanced out Sam’s living room window, peering at the street one story below. “Oh, no, he is not!”
Realizing what was happening, Sam suppressed a smile. Seemed the local police hadn’t gotten the memo that they should ignore illegally parked, unmarked cars driven by FBI agents.
“Go,” the male agent said. He spoke to his partner’s retreating back. She had already stalked out the door, obviously planning to talk her way out of a ticket.
“Yeah, good luck with that one,” Sam muttered, having had more than a few herself. She didn’t think God himself could talk his way out of a parking ticket once Baltimore’s finest had him in his sights. Cal Ripken, maybe. But nobody else.
“I take it you’ve got some firsthand experience?” the agent said.
“You have no idea. I’m on a first name basis with the local beat cop. He waves at me and smiles as he tickets me when I forget to move my car on trash days.”
A twinkle of amusement flashed in his green eyes. The stranger suddenly looked less intimidating, and more appealing than before. Younger than she’d first thought, too, he was probably only around thirty, close to her age.
Well, the age she would be for another few days. Then she moved beyond the actual three-zero and proceeded directly into her thirties. Do not pass go, do not try to pretend you’re just a day or two beyond twenty-nine.
“Almost makes me wish I could watch. I don’t think she’ll like being told no.” His mouth relaxed into a slow smile, a friendly one that invited her to reciprocate.
Though her heart skipped a single beat in her chest and her pulse did a little flip, Sam’s lips remained tight by sheer force of will. The way she had been feeling about men these days, she wished he’d paste a frown on his mouth. She couldn’t handle an attraction to anyone right now. She’d been burned so bad her hair probably still smelled smoky.
“What is it I can do for you Agent Lambert?” she asked, her tone curt.
He took her cue, his form stiffening again under his perfectly tailored suit, which looked more appropriate for a Wall Street executive than an FBI agent. “I’d like to show you some correspondence.”
He glanced around the room, seeking a place to sit. Her sofa, a flowery monstrosity her mother had insisted on giving her when Sam had moved out of her ex’s house, was covered with files and industry magazines. Well, mostly industry magazines. There were a few issues of People and Entertainment Weekly thrown in there, too. Not to mention a small pile of unfolded, clean laundry, freshly dumped from the dryer.
Two empty Diet Coke cans stood in the middle of their own permanent rings on the coffee table. A crumpled Snickers wrapper protruded from the opening of one can, looking like a castaway’s note stuck into a poor man’s substitute for a bottle, and on the TV, DVD sleeves for The Notebook and Beaches taunted her about her sadly sappy Netflix movie list.
Her picture should be on Wikipedia as an illustration of a pathetic thirty-something divorcee.
If not for her desk, she’d probably look like a slovenly house frau. Oh, the desk was a wreck, too, but at least it looked like it was used. Very used. On it were three mountains of paper, in varying heights–one critical, one urgent, and one just important. The just important one was about one-quarter the size of the others. There was no pile called Take Your Time.

Leslie Kelly used to say she wanted to be a doctor when she grew up, but then she discovered Nancy Drew books. Being a flashlight-under-the-covers-nose-in-book reader throughout her childhood, she couldn’t think of anything else she’d rather do as an adult than continue to lose herself in fictional stories. Her real life marriage of 20 years to the man of her dreams is a constant reinforcement that happily-ever-afters really can happen…and that they’re worth writing about. Living in Maryland, Leslie spends her non-writing time laughing a lot with the above-mentioned romance hero and their three daughters. Though an author of more than thirty sexy, contemporary comedies, she has recently branched out to write dark romantic suspense under the pseudonym Leslie Parrish.

I’m reading Pitch Black as we speak – quite literally, it’s sitting right next to me now – and I’m loving it. These books are wonderful. I will say the beginning of PB comes straight out of one of my nightmares, and it was so…chilling and sad. You got to me right away with this one.
I highly recommend these books to anyone who loves intense rom suspense. Leslie has done a fabulous job!
Comment
Love the excerpt!
Comment
My daughter would LOVE this book – so please count me in. She is always looking for new authors who write this type of books.
Have a great day everyone. I should be getting ready for work instead of surfing the next; but glad I stopped her. Maybe my daughter will get a nice surprise.

Comment
Sounds great. I want to read your book.

Hey Les, my copy hasn’t hit my doorstep yet, but I did hear about PB being in bookstores. I can’t wait to read this one. F2B was phenomenal, and I loved the way everything flowed. The plot was so well woven, that sometimes I forgot that I was reading a book…You know how I feel about that one…I still think that B@H will be my fav, but I love the first one too…did I already mention that I can’t wait for PB to get here…hopefully when I get back from NYC it will be here.
Ev, I know how you feel, but I broke…now, I only read plotmonkey books as soon as I get them if there is a series…Carly spoiled me…I still hold to not reading the series until all books are out for all my other fav authors though…
Emmanuelle, I was a Leslie Kelly fan too, and now I am a big Leslie Parrish fan…woohooo!!!
Have a great rest of the day everyone…I am leaving for NYC in a few minutes, so I won’t get to talk to you guys again until tomorrow…
Great prize for today Les…have a wonderful day…
Peace and love,
Paula R.

I’d love to sample the trilogy! Pick me, pick me!

I’m reading Fade to Black right now and I’m already loving it! I am a huge Leslie Kelly fan and now I’m also a huge Leslie Parrish fan! I’m skipping the excerpt because I’m just reading FtoB now. I don’t want to spoil anything, but I’m really looking forward to the rest of this series! Great job, Leslie!!!
Comment
Everyone should run, not walk to their nearest bookstore to get Pitch Black! I love the entire series and looked for Pitch Black over the weekend, but it was not at my B&N yet. I was one of those readers wondering how I missed the whodunnit, but I love that about romantic suspense. I normally can figure out the bad guy, so I love a book that keeps me guessing. I will say that Black at Heart is my favorite in the series and I really hope Leslie gets to write more Black CATs books.
Comment
Love the excerpt. I hope the books are a big hit. You are one of my favorite authors.
Comment
I have FTB on my TBR pile. I love the excerpt. I cannot wait for all the books to come out since I like to read in order with no breaks. I love romantic suspense stories. Les, your one of my favorite authors.
By the way Lesile, i found a condo in Alexandria… praying I get it. I started packing early.
Comment
Great excerpt!
Please enter me in the contest I would love to read this book.
Thanks!

Goodmorning Leslie and Plotmonkey Pals,
Leslie I loved fade to black and I am more inclined to think the new author name probably hurt you more than the book. I have yet to see a copy in any Walmart. I hit every one I can find; or so my hubby thinks. I am going to Mr. Paperback in Maine today to get Sandra Hill’s new book and will let you know if
To the new series. No more negative thoughts.
Pitch Black is in yet. I did get Fade to Black there a little early. Don’t sell yourself short yet. I think Fade to Black was a really good book. I am excited the time between the two went quickly/ I sure can’t say that about summer.
Isn’t there anything your agent can do to get you into walmart? I know I go there first because the price is good. I would think not being in wally world with the current economy could really hurt you. Well anyway, I read Fade to Black and it was terrific. You’ll have to get your stamina back quick; you have Pitch Black to promote. Ready…set…go… My 1 1/2 years old granddaughter’s newest saying.
Pusha, Pusha!
Comment
Leslie, you know how I feel about these books. I’m going to withhold proclaiming my favorite until I read the last page of B@H. The DH doesn’t read fiction these days – she a year away from a BA/MA in Museum Studies and reading non-fiction continuously. She almost didn’t get a paper written for her summer school class because she could not stop reading F2B. She made me hide PB from her until after finals. (This week
) I have the feeling she’ll disappear and only come up for air to eat once she starts PB.
I can’t say enough good about these books! Read them! And don’t put me in the contest, Leslie, I have the ARCs and I have the “real” books preordered to be mailed out once B@H is available.
Comment
Argh. DD, not DH. That’s it. I need
And to go back to calling her The Only. 
Comment
I did read “Fade to Black” and I made it all the way through!! I’ll definitely be getting Pitch Black!!
I hope the new series is going well for you. You did an amazing job with the first one, and I’ve heard from a few who have read the 2nd and 3rd and they say each book is better than the last!
Big congrats on the new direction and job well done!!
Comment
FAIR! I’ll even put a review in.
Comment
Hi :)
I am looking forward to reading this.
I was introduced to Leslie Parrish’s books via Twitter links which led to the great reviews.
I have put her series down on my ToBeRead list.
When I love a book I am like a town crier “Hear Ye! Hear Ye!”
Thanks for the great giveaway!

WooHoo!
Just called Mr. Paperback in Skowwhegan, Me. 207-474-5806
They have Pitch Black and put aside a copy for me.
Excuse me but I have to run. LOL.
Comment
Thanks for the support everyone! Man, this business is a tough one and every author genuinely appreciates every bit of word of mouth they can get!
Jeanie, to be honest, Wal Mart was one reason I decided to take the pseudonym! WM declined to carry my last two HQN books, which was a contributing factor in my getting dropped. There was absolutely no chance that these new books would sell in there if Leslie Kelly were on the cover. Changing my name at least gave me a shot…obviously it didn’t work. I am incredibly disappointed that they didn’t pick up these books. It amazes me just how much power that one retailer has in this industry!
Comment
Great excerpt! I haven’t picked up my FTB yet so now they are both on the list!
Comment
The excerpt is great. I’ll be looking for the book!
Comment
Hello Leslie,
Please count me in for this contest. I love romantic suspense. Here lately I can’t seem to get enough. LOL Have a great day. Congrats on the second book.

The series is on my TBR list…I’m just not there yet!
The except was great–I’m looking forward to the rest. Thanks.

Okay … I’m hooked.
Do I understand it’s the second in a series? Which would mean I have to tear through whatever book 1 might be to get to “What Happens Next?”?
I haven’t read any of your work yet (other than this excerpt), but I intend to.
Thanks for posting this, although right now I’m feeling a little bit like you’re the neighborhood pusher and some new flavored drug just showed up on the streets.
Comment
I am always looking for great books to read… wonderful excerpt! Congrats on the second release!!!

I’m hooked as well! Great excerpt!! Count me in

I love getting hooked on a great series and if the rest of Fade to Black is as good as the excerpt, I will deifnitely want to read Pitch Black, so please count me in.
Comment
Since I don’t yet have a copy of Fade to Black I would love to win an autographed copy. Great giveaway on a Tuesday! I love these unexpected chances for a book! As you already know I am enthusiastic about books I love!
I’m assuming it is okay to love both Leslie Kelly & Leslie Parrish books. 
Comment
Leslie, everything you write is a treat! Just wanted you to know that.
Comment
I’ve been very anxious to get my hands on this series, and the only reason I haven’t yet bought them is because I was waiting to see if my friends who went to RWA brought me a copy back. I gave them a wishlist of books and authors for signings. Tomorrow I’m meeting them, and will hopefully get my goodies, and when I know what I have and don’t have I can go book buying.
Thanks for the chance to win one!

Getting lost with the other summer releases?? I hope not. I picked up Fade to Black on Friday. Finished the other book I was reading and started yours on Saturday. I am now on page 286. If I didn’t have to work it would be finished!
I am loving it – as dark as it is. The romance isn’t forced and seems ‘real’. Love can happen in the darkest of times. This is one of the best romantic suspense I have read in a while. I went to your site to see when Pitch Black is released!!
Great job!!
Comment
I am waiting until all 3 come out to read them. I have both books in my wish list at fictionwise. so when the last one comes out I will buy them.
I am just a lay person butI have read all of Leslie Kelly’s books and don’t see why Walmart would not carry your book. It is rediculis how walmart is the center of the universe. I try not to shop there anymore now that we have a Super Target. I don’t even buy paperback anymore if I don’t have to it is either off fictonwise for my BB or audio.
Comment
I like the exerpt. Another one to add to the wishlist. :)
Comment
Well, you sure do know how to make a girl want to run out, in the PJs that she’s currently wearing no less, to the book store and pick up that book!
And yes, once I read it, I’ll deffinitely recommend it to friends! Because if I didn’t tell them what books to read, really, who’s going to?
Comment
The excerpt has me hooked! Another book to add to my TBR list.
Comment
Congrats on the rave reviews. I can’t wait to read “Pitch Black.” I absolutely loved “Fade to Black.” I know it’s difficult to find the right balance between the suspense and the romance, but it’s a great romantic suspense in my opinion.
Comment
Ooh, thanks so much for the great feedback! And thanks to any new visitors to the Jungle who might have seen the Tweets or the message board posts. I really appreciate you coming here and checking out the excerpt of Pitch Black!
Speaking of Pitch Black, I just ten minutes ago got another review, from the owner of Reader To Reader, which said, “Leslie Parrish is a romantic suspense genius. Pitch Black, Book #2 in her Black CAT series, is every bit as taut and superbly written as her first. It sizzles with relentless suspense and breathless emotion that keep the pages turning at a blistering pace. All of her characters are well developed, and her villain is stone-cold, shockingly evil. Do not miss this one!”
Keep on entering and check back late tonight for the names of the winners. I’ll also add them to Julie’s post tomorrow, as long as she doesn’t mind.

I have Fade To Black in my TBR pile, but haven’t gotten to it yet.
