Last winter, I was the lucky recipient of some fabulous keychain flash drives from usbmemorydirect.com. The company has a great track record of supporting authors, and created a keychain featuring my Cajun Country Mystery logo that was as useful as it was pretty...

I had a blast using them as giveaways - and using them myself. A keychain with 8 gigs of memory? It doesn't get better than that. Or so I thought. But then...

MARDI GRAS MURDER, the 4th book in my award-winning, bestselling Cajun Country Mystery series, debuts in October. I love all my book covers, but this one really spoke to me.

I put it on coasters, on stickers. Then I thought, what about putting it on a flash drive? Could usbmemorydirect.com do that? I got in touch with Taylor at the company and we decided a business card flash drive would be the best way to show off the cover. I wondered how the cover might look reduced to the size of a business card. The answer? Gorgeous!!! Amazing!!! A promotional dream come true...

I'm completely in love with these drives. They're easy to use and fit perfectly into a wallet.

I'll be giving a few of these away in contests as I celebrate the upcoming launch of MARDI GRAS MURDER (which is also available for presale). Make sure you sign up for my newsletter on my website homepage. And thanks a million, usbdirectmemory.com!
