  Meet the Author with Dänna Wilberg

  Please join us as Penny Manson interviews Capitol Crimes member Dänna Wilberg about her latest novel, BORROWED TIME: BOOK THREE - MIND GAMES.

  When psychic Suzanne Cash witnesses the aftermath of a young woman who takes her life in Paris, she is horrified. But when similar tragedies happen repeatedly, Suzanne's sixth sense kicks into high alert. Are Gen-X suicides on the rise? Or is there something more sinister going on? A mass shooting in Sacramento strikes close to home, and the facts just don't add up. The anonymous gunman commits suicide, one of the witnesses dies in a fiery car crash, and a little girl and her family go missing... Suzanne and her psychic friends join forces to figure out how the bizarre incidents are connected, and what they have to do with 5G Detective Sam Metzger battles changes in his own thoughts, his department's behavior, and an overall psychosis affecting the community. The relevance begs the question: Are people out of their minds? Or...is a puppet master calling the shots?

  
  

  

  Dänna Wilberg is the author of the Borrowed Time paranormal series, featuring psychic Suzanne Cash.

  Many writers choose self-publishing over traditional, and a growing number of hybrid authors do both.

  Capitol Crimes authors Cindy Sample, Anne R. Tan, Jessica Cline and Karen Phillips will discuss their experiences in self-publishing and offer their tips and tricks of the trade, including:

  • setting up the writing and business foundation
  • marketing strategies and tactics
  • thriving as an indie author
  • whether to go wide or Amazon only

  These days, even traditionally published authors do most of their own marketing and can learn a lot from our panel about selling your book.
