Get Away Car: When out of Regular Coffee
Known Heist:
One hundred pounds of Starbuck’s Coffee, ten Starbuck’s Mugs and a handful of stirrers. Armed with napkin holder. Considered dangerous when confronted before coffee in the morning.
Catch Phrase: Hand over the beans.
Now here’s Officer Blake Herro. Watch out! He’s infiltrating the MOB, and if we’re not careful, he’ll take all of us down.
30 SECONDS BEFORE BLURB:
Blake Herro is a cop in the Cleveland Police Force. Ever
since he was a child he wanted to do right by the city he loved by cleaning up
the streets and protecting its citizens. Red, a notorious mobster, has other
plans.

plans.
On a bitter December night, ten police officers are drawn
into a trap and killed by Red’s followers. Blake wants to bring down the Mob to
avenge his fallen brothers and to prevent other cops from being murdered.
Except the only way he can do that is by infiltrating the Mob.

Every minute he’s with these mobsters he’s in danger.
Around every corner lies the threat of coming face to face with a gun. Will he
make it out of the Mob alive or will he be their next victim?

BIO:
Want to see the other Mobsters? Here’s your chance.
LOL! I guess we have to have a coffee mobster.
You and I are gonna fight over the coffee beans!! I can't just hand them over…
I love your mugshot/profile/mobster affiliations…
This is funny:) My hubby looks like that mug every morning. I wrote on Chrys's blog that I would be called Boom Boom Birgie
Great mugs. I love a good laugh in the morning.
sherry @ fundinmental
Brilliant mug shoots, thanks for making me laugh. 🙂
Hand over the beans and no one gets hurt!
Heather
Ha! A most clever theme but I would expect nothing less from you. I thought of doing a wine related blog similar to what you did.
I'd love to get my mug into one of those! Off to get coffee!!
Congratulations Chrys!
I'm sure you can do it, Denise.
LOL — love your tagline.
I like writing taglines.
I love your mug shots. I am a big fan of coffee and even though I haven't been back to New Orleans in 25 years, I still get a monthly coffee shipment from Cafe Du Monde.
A true coffee aficionado!
Loved the mug shots Lee. Excellent post.
Yvonne.
Hi Yvonne. Glad you enjoyed.
I LOVE your mobster personality! You cracked me up! I need to make a stop in Caffeine City. Considering the lack of progress on my WIPs, I probably need to take up residence there. Congrats to Chrys!
Progress is relative, Lexa. We should compare notes on our WIPs and then you'd feel you were speeding ahead.
OMG, this is hilarious.
At the risk of repeating myself, Chrys, this was really a 'novel' idea;)
Is that a pun I see before me?
The mug shots are hilarious. 😉
Wishing Chrys the best of luck! So excited for her.

When I hear the word mug, the first thing that comes to mind is one filled with coffee.
Love the mug shot! ☺ This looks like a fun blog hop and the book sounds interesting. Checking it out on Amazon. I need something good to read for my trip to California. Thanks!
You're coming to CA?
Congrats, Chrys! Lee, are mugs suppose to be scary? They're not, but they're adorable. Great shots of your mug! LOL
Well, you know me. I try not to take myself too seriously.
What an adorable mobster profile! And your 'mug shot' almost had me in tears it was so funny. Good thing your heists involve Starbucks and not Dunkin' Donuts, otherwise we may have to 'war'. 🙂
I like to specialize, so Dunkin' Donuts is safe for now.
What fun! Loving your take on the mobster 🙂 Congrats to Chris – looking forward to reading all about Blake.
I've read Seismic Crimes and it was good. I'm sure this one will be, too.
Fun way to do this! Not sure you'll get far in that getaway car, but with all that coffee I'm sure you can just stick your feet through Flintstone's style and go to town.
Exactly! Never under estimate the power of caffeine.
Love your get away car. Not sure how far you would get, but it's unique. This has been a fun and different blogfest. I thinks it's cool the way Chrys used it to promote her book. Her book sounds like just my kind of read. I'm very excited for her.
This was a clever way to promote her book.
If you robbed a Starbucks of all their coffee, I think the public would hunt you down. They run over the police and all other authorities.
I'm fast, Dolorah. I run faster than my get-away car.
Hah! Love the mug shot.
thanks for sharing the book! 🙂
It's always fun to be a part of a gang!
Chrys's new book sounds really good!
So many mugs around the place…
I've seen them and they are a mob to be reckoned with.
Like the mug shot;) BTW, I ordered your book and it's on it's way! 🙂
Thanks, Mark. I feel my royalties swelling as I type this note. 🙂 I may be able to give up my life of crime.
Vinnie is the Mug is amazing. Your mobster stats is one of the most creative Lee. I'll hand over beans to you anytime.
I like cooperation, Sheena-kay!
You mug you, lol.
Congrats again to Chrys!
Ain't I a beaut?
This is hilarious! Love the creativity 🙂
It's always fun to have fun.
Wow, awesome seeing Chry's book blurb. Scary mobsters!
I'm scariest in the morning pre-coffee.
Loving seeing Chys's blurb across the blogosphere.
A mobster's job is soooo not family friendly.
And my beans are yours.
You're so wise, Elephant's Child. I'll take the bean and leave you unharmed.
Great mug shots.
Love your get away car.
Don't mess with coffee lovers.
So wise, Beverly. And never mess with them before they have their coffee in the morning.
lol sure a whole other kind of bean counter at your sea
Indeed. And mine are flavorful!
LOL, this is hilarious! I never drink coffee, so I can't help but feel like Vinnie the Mug would be pretty annoyed trying to steal some from me… XD
He wouldn't be casing your joint. That's for sure.
How clever and original. I love it. I wanna be like you.
Juneta @ Writer's Gambit
We can get you a mug that's almost like mine, Juneta!
Going to have to protect the coffee around you or it might disappear. 😉
You can leave out the jewels, but hide the coffee.
Hand over the beans!? Ha! If I was the stealing type, I might sneak into the animal shelter and help myself to the kittens.
That would be a good theft!
Disaster Chrys may leave her Mob so she can get in on all of that coffee. 😉
Did you know there was a real Mobster named Vinnie Carwash?
Thanks for participating in my Mobfest!
I knew there had to be a mobster somewhere called Vinnie, but Carwash? That's unique.
I love your mug.
Stealing coffee – LOL!
Nothing else is that essential.
Hi, Cheryl Lee!
Those mug shots made me do a spit take and spray coffee on my screen. 🙂
It's nice to see my friend Chrys in your post. Thanks for the blurb summarizing her new prequel book. Looks like a great one.
Have a wonderful weekend, C-Lee!
Thanks, Shady. I figured it was time fess up. Enjoy your weekend as well.
Handing over the beans…
Wise decision.
