WHAT BURNS WITHIN?
"Well worth adding to any mystery collection."
-- Library Journal
"Ruttan manages to keep multiple leads and seconds on the same page admirably... the straight proceduralism from Ruttan serves the story well through the rewarding climax."
--Publishers Weekly
"A sizzling story by one of crime fiction's hot new voices."
-- Rick Mofina, internationally best-selling author of A PERFECT GRAVE
"This story features a triple mystery and three main characters, who are interesting not only for their tangled group dynamic but also as individuals. The subject matter obviously is very grim, but the occasional banter between the constables helps to take the edge off. This is a good start to a new series I think will appeal to a variety of mystery lovers."
--Fresh Fiction
"Sandra Ruttan writes with utter ferocity. Twists and turns that stun and dialog that absolutely crackles with wit and authenticity. With each page, Ruttan delivers the goods. WHAT BURNS WITHIN is a nonstop chiller of a mystery that keeps you turning the pages."
-- GREGG OLSEN, New York Times Bestselling Author of A WICKED SNOW
"Promising talent Ruttan sets her gritty new detective series in Vancouver. It has a hard-edged feel and intriguing characters. ...this is a good start to an intriguing series."
--Romantic Times Book Reviews
"Short and snappy chapters, terse dialogue, staccato delivery of minimalist descriptions -- Ruttan's style harks back to the classic hardboiled era....Ruttan is very much a shower rather than a teller: there are very few internal monologues to be heard in WHAT BURNS WITHIN, the subtleties of the characters' complex psychologies being drawn out through their interactions with their colleagues. That's a difficult skill to make invisible, but it's one of Ruttan's most effective weapons."
--Declan Burke, Crime Always Pays
"Ruttan effortlessly brings to life a varied cast of complex characters. She writes with tremendous passion, honesty and skill. This is a story you will care about."
-- Allan Guthrie, Edgar Nominated Author of KISS HER GOODBYE
“Ruttan combines devilishly clever plots with genuinely empathic characters..."
--Russel D. McLean, Crime Scene Scotland
"A totally mesmerizing narrative and a plot that burns off the page."
-- Ken Bruen, Shamus Award-Winning Author of THE GUARDS
“WHAT BURNS WITHIN reads like a favorite television series. A large cast, lots of dialogue to advance the plot, a great setting, and well-drawn characters make for a compelling police procedural.”
-- Anne Frasier, USA Today Bestselling Author of HUSH, SLEEP TIGHT & PLAY DEAD
Available on Amazon.

Wahoo!!! That's so, so cool!
Whoohooo!
Hey, that's awesome. Congrats!!!!! :D
And look! They even give you financing options! *gg*
That's so wonderful, Sandra!
woo-hoo!
i got my copy from amazon about a week ago. it looks great!
Thanks everyone - Sela, LOL!
And Anne, geez, you'd think you'd get a complimentary copy from the publisher for blurbing it. Things that make you go hmmm.
You know you've hit the big time when white trash everywhere can pick up your book at discount prices.
Seriously, that's cool. I may actually have to stop by my Wal-Mart and see if we're one of them.

Get the fuck out of here. Wal-Mart? You certainly have hit the big time.
That is fantastic news. Congratulations.
doesn't it feel great? I have to get mine.
Actually...it's not strictly true. Wal-Mart has many, many books on order than will actually be available in stores because they have access to Ingram's entire catalog. Since SUSPICIOUS CIRCUMSTANCES is available through Ingram, Wal-Mart will list.
Actually, just because a book is on Ingram it doesn't mean a place will definitely list it, considering people here who told me they dealt with Ingram aren't carrying the book and have told me they won't. You can't go to Chapters/Indigo and order my book but you can order it into WalMart if they aren't stocking it, and that's nice.
And I know of other books on Ingram that aren't listed with WalMart. It isn't hard to do a search.
Wowee Zowie!!!
That is so totally cool! I'll have to see if it's in ours!
sandra, i've never gotten a copy from a publisher for any book i've blurbed. not that i've blurbed that many, but it wasn't anything i thought about so please don't worry! i was in the middle of revisions when the book came and i didn't even see my blurb until yesterday. sheesh!!! i'll blame it on lack of sleep and a UTI, although i don't think there's any way in hell to blame it on a UTI. the acknowledgement page was a project in itself. :)
Because of your success, Samdra, my heart sings.
I am so excited for you, Sandra. Now... to get it and send it to you for autographing ;-)
Holy Moly! You made Wal-Mart?
You hit the mother lode, hon!! Congrats!!!
Congrats on everything, Sandra! Looking forward to meeting you in Seattle.
Congrats, Sandra.
Wow! That's excellent Sandra! I shop at Walmart! Woohoo!
That's awesome!!!!! Congrats!
