Hey, I’ve got a new book out in the world! If you’re a fan of my crime fiction, One for the Monkey should be right up your alley. I’m really excited about this book, which I’ll tell you more about in a second, but first I want to let you know that we’re doing something a little different this time around: Before the ebook is published on Tuesday, March 17, we’re making a limited number of autographed hardcover books available for purchase directly from Flying Raven Press.
After these copies are gone, you’ll still be able to buy the hardcover from major retailers, but this is your chance to get an autographed copy. We’re also making available ten autographed copies of the first edition hardcover of Wooden Bones, my middle-grade novel about what happened to Pinocchio after he became a real boy. Shipping and handling is a flat $4.99, whether you buy one book or ten, mailed via USPS anywhere in the United States. Please note: Books will ship the week of March 17.
You can buy all these books directly over at Flying Raven Press.
If you want the ebook version of One for the Monkey, it will be released on Tuesday, March 17 and is available for pre-order at Amazon, iBooks, Google Play, B&N, Kobo, and many other retailers now.
More information about the book is below. A trade paperback version of the book will follow in about a month, for those of you who prefer that format.
One for the Monkey
by Scott William Carter
From the award-winning author of the Garrison Gage series, comes a gripping new mystery that buckles you in from the first car ride and never lets go.

After flaming out of MIT in a blaze of bad choices, Ashton Byrd reinvents himself in Los Angeles as a financial advisor to the rich and clueless (while taking a tidy cut for himself, of course). Got a huge monkey on your back? Rule one: don’t take life seriously. Rule two: see rule one.
But when the sun-kissed playboy reluctantly returns to his soggy Oregon hometown, life gets serious in a hurry. Like fresh corpse serious.
Larry O’Conner—private investigator, his father’s former partner, and Ash’s honorary uncle—turns up dead. On top of that, something important has gone missing. Not “the valet misplaced my car keys” important. More like “end of the world as we know it” important. And powerful people want it back.
Now Ash is dodging bullets, bad memories, and the long shadow of his larger-than-life father while trying to figure out what Uncle Larry died protecting. Plus he can’t do it alone. To solve the case—and finally shake the monkey off his back—he’ll need help from Stephanie “The Streak” Hart, who may start as his surly Uber driver but soon proves to be a valuable asset. Tough. Brave. And with a trunkful of secrets of her own.
