Scroll on for an excerpt here too!
I share some backstory about Janey:
I love writing about adventure and about strong women having adventures. A few years ago, I decided to write mysteries set on a space station hotel casino because I thought it would be an exotic location, especially if I set my story in the future and especially if I wrote it from the point of view of my detective, Janey McCallister.

EXCERPT
Her implant flagged a quick movement in the crowd. Out of place, a shadow shifted. She clicked on her video. She’d get irrefutable evidence this time. Hope and determination fluttered in her chest.
A short, grey-haired man wove his way through the crowd, shoulders hunched, barely jostling people. Her implant flashed an ID: Mortimer Xang. His hotel record showed he’d arrived via space jet a week ago and he had a room in the mid-priced level. No others in his party. He was leaving on the next transport Earthside in a few hours. Payee: Xang Enterprises.
One minute left.
He looked innocent enough, except for how one corner of his mouth quirked up in a faint smirk even though his gaze was downcast. And how his arms seemed pasted to the side of his body. He took tiny steps, as if to make himself even smaller.
Classic moves of a thief. Suspicious, though not evidence.
Her vid was recording, but all the other thefts had happened under the casino cameras and had not been detected.
She’d always trusted her intuition and her ability to read body cues before. But since she’d come to the station, she’d gotten it wrong twice. Should she wait for another sign that Xang was guilty? No, her gut told her he was up to something. She trusted that.
I like the red dress against the dark background. Nice cover!
Thanks, Ed! Glad you like it!
Subtly suspicious – she should check him.
Hehe, you got that right! Thanks, Aurora!

OMG, thanks Karysa! And thanks for hosting the Sunday Snippet!
Sounds like an intriguing book, enjoyed the excerpt. Lots of terrific details!
Thanks so much, Veronica!
It’s sucks when you feel you can’t trust your intuitions anymore. It can make you start second guessing things all the time.
Cecilia, So true! Thanks for stopping by and reading my excerpt!
I think this time she is going to get it right. Some people are just hard to tell but I think she nailed it.
Thanks, Linda!
The cover looks amazing.
Thanks, Patricia!
