"Congratulations, Austin. Hannibal's a great character, and you put the reader in the DC area as well as anyone this side of George Pelecanos. It's good to see you're getting some well-deserved recognition."

Another Five Star Review!
Here's what Damascena posted on Amazon.com for Damaged Goods:"Thisis is the first Hannibal Jones book I've read, and it is a delight on all levels. The writing is excellent to exquisite. the characters are believable (including the hero, who can do amazing things, but is still extremely human). the setting is lovingly and meticulously drawn, in several locales, and the story left me absolutely breathless on more than one occasion.I especially enjoyed some of the side action, for example, the…See More

Author Update
The Barnes and Noble on the Northern Virginia Community College Annandale campus is the biggest campus bookstore I’ve ever seen. My book signing there was a great event: I had fun and signed several books. Naturally I’m looking forward to the next time. http://www.ascamacho.com/See More

In BLOOD AND BONE - An eighteen-year-old boy lies dying of leukemia. Kyle's only hope is a bone marrow transplant, but no one in his wealthy Virginia family can safely supply it. His last chance lies in finding his father, a man who disappeared before he was born. Police and private investigators can find nothing on a trail eighteen years cold.
Kyle's family has nowhere to turn until they learn of a certain troubleshooter, a self-styled knight errant in dark glasses named Hannibal Jones. He has two weeks to find the missing man, but his search turns up much more: A woman who might be Kyle's illegitimate sister, the woman who could be her mother, and the man who may have killed Kyle's father.
Hannibal follows a twisting, winding path of deception, conspiracy and greed, from Washington to Mexico, pursuing the truth. But with each step closer to it he gets, the danger grows.

Here's what M. Simpson "Kindle lover" posted on Amazon.com about Damaged Goods:
"Great novel. It surprised me; it was different from the previous Hannibal Jones mysteries. There was less beating up bad guys and more vulnerability. As usual, the characters were all very interesting and very unique. Read this one!"…

Michael Phelps said… - Good Morning Mr. Camacho,
May I call you Austin?
I have been working away from my computer and out of town. Thank you for your friend request., I am honored. I am also going out to get your book, "BLOOD & BONE". It sounds like a book I will enjoy. That of course, will lead me to your other three.
Hope to have the honor of meeting you in the near future.
Sincerely,
Michael Phelps
(The WRITER . . . NOT the good looking-kid with all the Gold).

Forgive me if I remember this incorrectly, but wasn't THE TROUBLESHOOTER originally self-published? There's a current discussion here about the pros and cons of self-publishing you may be uniquely suited to participate in, were you so inclined.

David L. Hoof said… - Did you come up with Hannibal's given name before or after Harris's Hannibal Lecter? I ask only that Harris's villain's name casts some rather dark aspersions on any other character attempting to overcome the cannibal's stigma.

- Thanks. It was reassuring seeing at least one familiar face besides Geneva's. Otherwise, it would have been weird, Hollyweird or not. Nice reconnect.
