Jack Kilborn's UK publisher, Headline, kindly sent me a few hardcovers and trade paperbacks of AFRAID, just in time for Halloween. In turn, I want to share these with you, my loyal fans. (I'm Jack Kilborn, for the three of you who didn't know that.)

There will be two contests.

HARDCOVER

Newsletter #8

I recently revamped www.JAKonrath.com, and invite you to stop by for a chance to win twenty million dollars! (Void where prohibited, which is where you live.)

It was designed by Jack Passarella at www.authorpromo.com. Besides a new look and easier navigation, JAKonrath.com also sports brand new content:

You asked for a chart to show Legacy vs Indie royalties. I sent it to your email account. I hope you can use it.

If you did not receive it, please let me know here.

Regards,

Dick

I finished "Shot of Tequila" last week. I found it a very interesting read. Not to ruin it for other readers, but the ending surprised me.

Thanks for sharing your work, and I don't have to wish you success, but have some more.

Links in blogs discussing the Amazon/Macmillan controversy led me back to your blog. Lucky me. You and John Scalzi summed up the situation as well as anyone. My thoughts about publishing in general have been evolving, and your writing is making me re-think several things, and discard a few ideas that no longer have currency. Thank you for that.

While I was there I read through your posts for the past month or so. There's a string of three (Luck You, What I Know, and Resolutions) that aren't just informative, but inspiring. I debate from time to time whether I want to put up with what writers seem destined to put up with nowadays; reading these posts has me revved up again.

Thanks again.

Good to see you here. I've been enjoying your blog interviews and web page.

Great new website, but you need more stuff about your latest Jack Daniels thriller, Fuzzy Navel!

At 9:36pm on April 2, 2008, Annette Dashofy said…: Hi, Joe. I'm new to CrimeSpace and was happy to see you here. I was part of the gang (along with Rebecca Drake) that took you out to dinner at Primanti's in Pittsburgh a while back.

At 1:01pm on March 7, 2008, Patrick Balester said…: Nice to see a familiar face. Loved your interview with Tess Gerritssen.

I want an ad right there, my man. You are the man! Need details. Size matter? Cover Art OK, I would imagine. Photo of me and Pongo, OK? etc.
