Mystery Writer Jada Ryker Wins Kindle Scout Contract with Take the Body and Run

Jada Ryker won a contract with Kindle Press, an imprint of Amazon, on June 14, 2016. Chosen authors run month-long Kindle Scout campaigns against stiff competition, vying for a five-year contract. Her selected book, Take the Body and Run, was launched for pre-orders this week on Amazon. The mystery/romance is set in Kentucky on a fictional university campus.

USA Today bestselling author Carolyn Haines said, "Macey Malloy bursts onto the scene with more energy than a nuclear power plant and a real penchant for finding herself in the middle of chaos." Haines is the author of Pluto's Snitch and the fun Sarah Booth Delaney mystery series.

According to its website, "Kindle Scout is reader-powered publishing for new, never-before-published books. It's a place where readers help decide if a book gets published." During the Kindle Scout campaign, the book's description, cover, and excerpt is displayed. Readers ("Scouts") may nominate up to three books at a time. Since its inception in 2014, less than 200 books have been published from the thousands of author submissions. Based on reader nominations and other factors, Ryker's book was chosen for publication. Take the Body and Run is available now on Amazon for pre-orders through September 19, with release on September 20. It will be available in both electronic and paperback versions.

Ryker will be at the book signing Pages in the Caves on September 24, 2016, 11:00 am - 3:00 pm, CDT, Cave City Convention Center, 502 Mammoth Cave Street, Cave City, KY.
