VENGEANCE IS NOW PLACES IN THE PRESTIGIOUS INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS, ONE
OF THE NATION’S TOP BOOK AWARD PROGRAMS
SACRAMENTO, Calif.—Regional author Scott D. Roberts can now
add to his list of acknowledgements for his freshman novel Vengeance is Now (www.vengeanceisnow.com)
that he is a Finalist in the 2014 National Indie Excellence Awards, one of the
most prestigious book awards in the nation.
“Your book truly embodies the excellence that this award was
created to celebrate, and we salute you and your fine work,” said Ellen Reid,
president and CEO of the awards, in the announcement to 3L Publishing, the
publisher of Vengeance is Now.
"It's always nice to be recognized for your work,"
said Roberts, "but I'm more excited with the fact that this recognition
will drive people to the book and hopefully fall in love with the story and
characters."
Vengeance
is Now, named twice as best in new fiction for 2013, is a thriller
about a down-and-out and disgraced former police detective and P.I., Tate
Holloway. Tate has turned to a life of soaking his sorrows in a bottle of
Tequila, smoking weed, and turning tricks with high-class wealthy women to
make a living. Balancing his empty life of surfing and keeping his secret
life away from his girlfriend, Tate finds his entire world turned upside
down when he’s set up, framed, and forced to go on the run for unspeakable
crimes.
"I'm very proud of Scott's freshman effort," said
Michelle Gamble, CEO, 3L Publishing. "Scott is a true, natural talent
whose first novel Vengeance is Now far
exceeded my expectations. I personally love this book and believe in his work
as blossoming novelist with a great future in the industry. We at 3L Publishing
congratulate him on placing as a Finalist in the Indie Excellence
Awards."
Vengeance
is Now is a taut, erotic and action-packed thriller about a
fallen detective whose redemption can only be found by bringing a killer to
justice. Tate has to shrewdly turn the tables from being the hunted to the
hunter in this heart-pounding, adrenaline rush of a thriller. Each stunning,
breakneck-paced revelation brings Tate closer to the dark truth and uncovers
departmental and political corruption that leads to a final showdown of
good vs. evil in the race for vengeance.
Roberts was also named one of the 50 Great Writers You
Should Read by the Author’s Show. Vengeance
is Now is a part of the Tate Holloway series, and the next book Hidden Agenda is due out in Fall
2014 (see synopsis at the end of press release). Vengeance is Now is available on Amazon, the Vengeance is
website (www.vengeanceisnow.com),

Coming in Fall 2014 – Hidden Agenda
Tate Holloway is back in a big way
after riding the national media attention from capturing and killing the
notorious serial killer “The Eye” and in the process uncovering political
corruption in the City of San Diego. After being exposed by the media as a male
escort and dumped by his girlfriend Nicole, in true Tate fashion he continues
his lifestyle vs. recognizing his true feelings for her. All he wants to do is
get back to work as a private investigator with his trusted sidekick Rita and
attempt to get his life back in order.
A phone call from one of his
“regulars,” Bonnie thrusts him into a missing person’s case when her curious
nephew, who was interning for the summer in Washington, DC, ends up missing,
and she fears foul play. You see, Bonnie isn’t just any attorney. Her law firm
represents and handles high-level security clearance matters between the
defense department and civilian defense contractors.
In his hunt for Bonnie’s nephew,
Tate investigates the possible reason for his abduction and in the process
uncovers a potential national security threat in North Africa that is being
ignored by the State Department and could potentially implicate the White
House. After stirring up problems, once again Tate has to step up his game to
elude agents from the various federal agencies who have put out an APB for his
capture and evade the nefarious groups and organizations who have put a bounty
on his head. Follow Tate on another thrill ride from Seattle to Washington D.C.
as he reveals the Hidden Agenda.
