I made BuzzFeed’s list of “20 Top Mystery and Thriller Novels Coming Out This Fall.” Very exciting…I’m in some pretty impressive company!
"My own experience as a journalist prompted me to read the first book in this series, but I've kept on reading them just because they're so darned entertaining. This is the fourth, and after finishing it, I remain a devoted fan."
I'm being interviewed Monday, Oct. 18, at 3 p.m. on THE MYSTERY HOUR WITH CON SWEENEY

I just got named as a Finalist for the Killer Nashville Silver Falchion Award for two of my books - BELOW THE FOLD (best suspense) and THE SILENT VICTIM - written as Dana Perry (best thriller). No live ceremonies in Nashville this year, of course - but the winners will be announced at the end of August.
Lots of exciting news happening with my Clare Carlson mystery series. THE LAST SCOOP, which came out in May in hardcover and ebook, has been chosen as a BookBub Featured Deal from August 17 to 26, and the ebook will be sold then at a special promotional price of $.99. THE LAST SCOOP has also been picked as an Amazon Monthly Kindle Deal for August, which means you can still buy the ebook the rest of the month for only $1.99. The Audible version of THE LAST SCOOP is expected to be out in the fall – and a paperback version is coming next May. Along with a new Clare Carlson book BEYOND THE HEADLINES (Clare #4) which will also come out in May 2021. Meanwhile, the first two books in the series YESTERDAY’S NEWS and BELOW THE FOLD are selling in ebook for just $1.99 this summer under special promotional deals. Oh, and I recently signed a contract to write Clare #5 for 2022. Whew! But good to be busy during these trying times…. Wow, look at the great company I’m with in the Sunday New York Post! Me and Michael Connelly. Featured among The Best Books of the Week.
Thrilled to see that I just got a terrific early review in Publishers Weekly for my upcoming Clare Carlson mystery The Last Scoop. “Captivating” is always a word you like to see in the first line of a review. Plus there’s this ending: “Belsky’s experience as a journalist provides fascinating insights and a sense of authenticity. Readers will look forward to seeing more of doggedly determined Clare.” The Last Scoop will be out in May. Available for pre-sale now in hardcover and ebook.
https://www.publishersweekly.com/978-1-60809-357-1 Exciting news to start the new year: BELOW THE FOLD has been chosen by Kindle’s Monthly Deals for January - and will be on sale for $1.99 throughout this month. It's about a journalist (TV newswoman Clare Carlson) who discovers that the seemingly insignificant murder of a homeless woman is linked to powerful and influential public figures.
