I love to travel, but for this tour, I’ll be staying home, and at the same time, I’ll be in computers all over the world. Maybe world is an exaggeration, but I’m okay with it. I’m thrilled to be sharing a bit about me and my first novel, Let Us Prey, on this blog tour. So welcome to my Jan/Feb 2012 Bewitching Book Tour. Before I get started, I need to thank Roxanne for everything she’s done.
Let Us Prey is the first book in the Gotcha Detective Agency series. Mimi Capurro, the owner of Gotcha, gets caught up in a murder when all she was supposed to be doing was protecting a New York Times bestselling author on her book tour. You know how crazy those fans of vampire series authors can be. Throw in her old flame from college, Nick Christianson, who happens to be the homicide detective and you have a bit of sexual tension to break up the stress of the investigation.
Due out in February, Death of a Sales Rep, when Mimi and Nick once again connect over a dead body, but this one is in San Francisco.
About me:
Born and raised in Salinas, CA (where the Gotcha series is set), I moved to Iowa about 16 years ago. I started writing because I needed to escape the real world, and just reading about other worlds wasn’t enough anymore.
I’ve written a non-fiction book called Hiking Iowa for Falcon Publishing, and I was a contributing writer for Crafts Business Magazine for two years before turning to fiction. Along with writing novels, I’ve written 3 feature screenplays, and I’m also writing for television. I have a great writing partner with whom I’m writing a TV drama.

Let Us PreyBook 1, Gotcha Detective Agency Mysteries
By Jamie Lee Scott
Mimi Capurro has been hired to protect New York Times bestselling author, Lauren Silke, who was recently assaulted in the bathroom at a paranormal conference. Though Mimi is hired to act as bodyguard for Lauren’s upcoming book tour, plans change when Lauren's assistant is murdered and the slaying is a replica of a scene from Lauren’s newest novel. A novel that hit bookstores the same day as the killing.
Now instead of playing bodyguard, Mimi is cracking computer code, and chasing down vampires. These vampires come alive on the streets of Santa Cruz, as part of a live-role-playing game. Mimi must find the connection between the vampires and the author to track down the killer. This would be much easier if Detective Nick Christianson wanted her investigating the case.
Nick, Mimi’s old college fling, is the lead homicide investigator.
Though he wants her off the case, he also wants to pump her for information. Nick may have used her in the past, but this time she’ll use him to try to catch the murderer first.

Thanks so much for stopping by Cynthia!
Go, Jamie! Best of luck with it; I'll try to keep up with you! xoxo
The book sounds great. Do you find it difficult to go from novel writing to screen writing? Which do you prefer? P.R. Mason
Cool premise, Jamie, and that's a great-looking cover.
I'm curious about how writing screenplays may have helped you in writing fiction.
Congrats, Jamie! And good luck with the tour!
Thanks for stopping by everyone. Jenna, you know I'm the one who has to keep up with you.
PR and Jane: I use screenwriting techniques to write my novels, and it's difficult to switch back and forth. I tend to write too tight for novels, and too loose for screenplays. Lots and lots of rewriting to fix that.
And which do I like better? I like that I only have to pitch my screenplays to managers and agents or production companies. After it's sold it's out of my hands.
Writing novels is my escape, and I get to rewrite history if I want.
Jane, you have awesome covers, they make me drool.
Thanks, Jamie! I am really proud of the cover for Fortune's Fool, which the amazingly gifted April Martinez designed. If anybody wants to see and admire it, go to www.janesevier.com.
Good luck with the book tour and the new book. I love the twist you have on it. How many books in the series do you plan?
Good luck with your tour, Jamie. I'm looking forward to the next book in your "Gotcha" series.

Linda, I'm planning 5 books to start, and see whe it goes. I have 3 stories complete, not including Let Us Prey, but only 1.5 written.
I'll be starting another series in June.
LJ, thanks for stopping by, I really need to get Death of a Sales Rep published. New cover art samples done, just the finishing and editing to complete.
Hi Jamie! Thanks for letting us know on KOD about your tour. Congratulations on your release! The book sounds great.
I grew up near the IA-IL border & understand the need to escape into books. Those winters are long and gray!
Hi Larissa, thanks for stopping by. Being a CA transplant, I think the winters are going to be the end of me. lol
Don't you just love KOD? They through a great party at RWA National. I can't wait to go this year!
Your book sounds great, Jamie Lee! Best of luck on your tour. You're going to be busy!
