Virtual Tour: Toni Andrews

























Warning: Profanity.



Cry Mercy, Out NOW!

Blurb:

I just want a normal life…even if I'm not entirely sure I'm human.

My name is Mercy Hollings and I'm a successful hypnotherapist in Balboa, California. The problem is, my good fortune is dependent on a dark secret. I can make people do whatever I want using telepathy, a power I call "the press." And that ability has hurt some people I never wanted to hurt, so I try to keep it under wraps.

I also try to keep people at a distance…at least, I used to. Recently a group of fearless characters broke through my self-imposed walls and became my friends: Sukey, my receptionist-turned-P.I.; Tino, a Chicano gang leader; Hilda, a wealthy society widow; Grant, a retired millionaire—and Sam, my sexy-as-hell ex-boyfriend.

But with friends comes drama. Tino has inadvertently led me into the dark world of gang violence, and Sukey has pushed me into searching for my biological parents, the only people who can finally tell me who—or what—I really am.

Too bad I missed that diner. There was a Greek joint not far from where I grew up whose owner was like that in the kitchen, but invariably polite and welcoming to all of his guests, who really were his guests as he lived in an upstairs apartment.

What comment? You mean like- I can't read it yet since I don't have the book yet? A comment like that Toni??

Is that sufficient?

Loved the excerpt you read! Aren't diners great? Having fun with your virtual tour! Very clever idea.

I seriously need to visit that diner. Sounds like my kind of place!! The book sounds cool. Will have to put it on the wish list. (Sadly getting bigger every day ;)

Y. Bressani said...

Wonderful blurb - sounds like a total winner!

Holley said...

I always like to hear the writer read their own work aloud. What I enjoy most about your video posts is that you seem to genuinely like to interact with your fans. You don't shun them. Beautiful work! I can't wait to read "Cry Mercy"!

Leona said...

Every blurb I read on the mercy books makes me drool. I have petted the other books in the series at the book store when I've gone in to set my signing date.

mercy sounds wonderful!

Hi :)
I love this virtual tour! Every time I see Toni I get another kernel of information about Mercy, the series, the other characters and the creation process!
I have all the books so far, except this one (and the ones to come).
Thanks for sharing.
Love From Canada

Very impressive use of social media, Tony! I thoroughly enjoyed the reading selection, and you are so comfortable on camera. Best wishes with the book promotion. (P.S. I've forwarded your link to my Alliterates.com buddies, as an example of a great online presence by an author.)
