Today's the fourth day of the five-day release party for STRIKE PRICE. The Cherokee language and culture informs this thriller, so today's literary lagniappe is a link to a Cherokee-language radio show, part of a comprehensive Cherokee nation website. http://www.cherokee.org/News/RadioShow.aspx

It's the third day of the five-day launch party for the release of energy thriller STRIKE PRICE! Get ready for Mardi Gras--or for those of you in Australia--celebrate now!--and enjoy this book trailer.

Just a little over a week until the release of the new STRIKE PRICE. Can't wait!

Boyar--it was new to me...

I am looking forward to seeing Monuments Men, written by Robert Edsel & directed by George Clooney. And I am delighted to hear about a new book from Harry Hunsicker, a thriller called The Contractors.

From now through January 14th. Try western mystery author Gary Vineyard, thriller writers Richard Holcroft and L. A. Starks, and cozy mystery author Nora Barker. Or sample the writing of several StoneThread authors in an anthology.

Of course, I hope you'll take a look at my thriller, 13 Days: The Pythagoras Conspiracy. Among the StoneThread titles I've read and recommend are The Grave on Peckerwood Hill…
