Greetings literary citizen and lover of all things mysterious. This is your engraved invitation to become part of an elite group: a Dark Alley Detective!
As a Dark Alley Detective…
- You are a VIP, an irreplaceable cornerstone of a book’s success🏆
- You get every new release FIRST and read it for FREE 📖
- Your reviews post first and get the most visibility 👀
- You get exclusive announcements, info, and cover reveals 🔍
- DA Detectives host our community’s digital launch parties 🎉
- You love old keys, hidden clues, puzzle pieces, surprises, mysterious footprints, and bookcases that hide secret passageways 👣

As a Dark Alley Detective, you commit to leaving a review in different venues as soon as you finish the book. It can be the same review copy/pasted to all the places, including dark alleys!
You post first and you post early. Sometimes, a comment is brief. Sometimes, it sparkles.
For example. . .
I love your books. You hook the reader in quickly with a good story/ characters. I can’t seem to stop until I’ve finished a book. Your characters are so well developed, they come alive for me. I enjoy the historical backdrop/setting, everything about your books. I often find myself laughing out loud! However, finishing one of your books can be sad as I find myself feeling like closing a book feels like I will now be saying goodbye to friends.
You are an incredible writer.
Sincerely,
Ellen Conrad
