My First Review I've never gotten a professional review of my work, so as you might imagine, I was sweating it—especially Publishers Weekly. They are big and the publishing industry is very much aware of their review presence. But I received my PW review this weekend and I couldn't be more thrilled to be compared to the likes of some of my favorite authors—Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner and Tami Hoag. And I wanted to share the good news with you, my friends. Publishers Weekly, 12/10/2007 No One Heard Her Scream Jordan Dane. Avon, $6.99 (384p) ISBN 978-0-06-125278-5 "...a dynamite debut... Dane's smooth style, believable characters and intense pacing will remind readers of Lisa Jackson, Lisa Gardner and Tami Hoag. While Dane's debut is being marketed as romantic suspense, it crosses over into plain thriller country: the tight plotting and the male characters are exceptional, bad guys and good."   Killer Site Jordan has been a firm believer in the talent of her website designer Madeira James at xuni.com so she entered a website contest and GREAT NEWS!

First Kill Ah, they say you never forget your first and I'm here to tell you that's exactly right. The International Thriller Writers have adopted a Debut Authors Program affectionately known as "First Kill", just another great benefit to being an ITW member. "Virgin" authors get one chance at launching their debut book, because once the ship sails, it is gone, baby. I feel very fortunate to be a part of the maiden voyage of First Kill. Under the guidance of talented New York Times bestseller Lee Child, the ITW Debut Authors Program provides a forum for mutual support and expert help for first time authors from published ITW members. It also offers the opportunity for extra exposure on the ITW website's Debut Author Page, at national conferences, and during ITW's own ThrillerFest conference. And come check out our newly minted First Kill blogs at Crimespace and MySpace. Plus, ITW has generously provided a Debut Authors page on their website to showcase the program and its authors.   First Foreign Sale Great News!
