Release day is always exciting, but when it's your debut, nerves compete with anticipation. Your baby is going out into the big bad wide world. Publishing can be a long drawn out adventure. The sale, edits, all the work to make the story happen; the thrill of your cover (isn't it great?) and finally a publication date; all of it led up to this day.
Carina posted the novel on NetGalley. Reviews start showing up and Yay! Some people 'got it' and loved it but others were disappointed by the lack of sex. I'll go ahead and state for the record, The Professor is a suspense with a romance sub-plot.
To all the people who've read it - I'm glad you enjoyed the story. It's my ultimate goal: to invite the reader into my world and carry them along for the ride.
And to all of you who haven't, I'm giving away a copy to a commenter!
THE PROFESSOR by Cathy Perkins
Someone is murdering women on South Carolina's college campuses: three women, three different schools. The Governor's order to State Law Enforcement Agent Mick O'Shaughnessy is simple: make it stop. More political maneuvering diverts Mick to nearby Douglass College. There, instead of another dead body, he finds Meg Connelly, grad student and faculty advisor for the latest victim.
Determined to finish her master's degree, Meg doesn't need anybody's help - including her estranged family - to succeed.

Determined to finish her master's degree, Meg doesn't need anybody's help - including her estranged family - to succeed.
There's something irresistible about Mick, but the last time she let someone get close to her, she lost everything except her self-respect.
As the investigation heats up, so does their relationship. But Mick's interest in Meg doesn't just endanger her heart—it puts her in the sights of the killer.
