Author Tananarive Due has kindly posted an excerpt of the new Tennyson Hardwick novel she’s written with (her husband) Steven Barnes, From Cape Town with Love.
I enjoyed the first two books in this series, so I’m looking forward to this one.
On Facebook, Due also mentioned that Blair Underwood [insert girlish sigh here] had directed and starred in a trailer for the book. No word on when the trailer hits the Internet.
