I admit it. I kind of have a thing about nerds. So when author Chris Redding sent information on her new book, I knew I had to share it with my readers.<\/p>\n

Chris Redding, author of the Nerds Saving the World Series, has created another exciting installment with A View to A Nerd. Around the premise that nerds could actually be the ones to save the world, this series shows us all how that may just be possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

Synopsis<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

<\/a><\/span><\/h2>\n

When a wise-cracking interior decorator wants to put her past behind her, the dead body of the mayor\u2019s son makes it pretty clear that won\u2019t happen too easily. A conservative former computer geek for the FBI is holding on too tightly to his past. His wife died under suspicious circumstances and he believes the decorator has the information to solve the case. Unfortunately for him, she isn\u2019t talking\u2026 until a series of events convinces her she needs protection especially when her biggest secret threatens to destroy both their lives.<\/span><\/p>\n

Excerpt<\/span><\/span><\/h2>\n

    Waking up next to a dead guy can ruin your whole day.
    At least interior decorator Miriam Stokes\u2019 thought so.
    The Philadelphia Police Detective whose name she couldn\u2019t remember talked soothingly to her, making her feel, not better, but at least calmer.
    As calm as anyone could feel after finding a dead body. How did she get herself into these things?
    Sipping coffee Miriam didn\u2019t remember asking for, she eyed the cop as they sat in a flowered living room. Her friend Joe\u2019s neighbor owned said living room. The friend she just found dead.
    She tried to keep eye contact with Detective. . .Dasher, Dancer? Some reindeer name.
    She could see him clearly now, her vision returning to normal.
    \u201cSo you woke up and he was dead.  Didn\u2019t you hear a shot?\u201d
    After swallowing the scalding liquid, she answered him. \u201cNo detective. I do sleep very soundly, but I think I had help from this bump on the side of my head.\u201d
    To indicate the injury, she pulled away the bag of ice she held to her head. The ice had appeared sometime after the first patrolman.  The lump began to throb, but Donner only glanced at her head. Instead, he scribbled some notes in a small pad.
    How many murders does one have to see to get so matter-of-fact about them? Miriam shuddered.
    \u201cCould I at least get dressed? I feel a little vulnerable in my pajamas,\u201d she told him.
    Donner. The detective had introduced himself as Donner. He looked her over as if making a decision. He nodded, glancing around the apartment. \u201cDo you have any clothes?\u201d
    She nodded towards Joe\u2019s apartment.
    \u201cWhen they remove. . .\u201d he murmured, then grimaced. She caught his meaning.
    He turned his brown eyes back to her. \u201cWe\u2019ll work things out. I just have a few more questions for you. Then we\u2019ll go downtown.\u201d
    Miriam nodded. Who would do this to Joe?
    \u201cHow long have you known the deceased?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
