<p><i>In a fraction of a second you can lose your life—you can lose your ex-wife and your only child. You can lose your boss and your job and all that you count on to provide for those you love. Without warning, you can lose everything—in an instant, in a flash.</i> <span>_______________________</span></p>
<h2>Within the steel canyons of New York, tech labs of California, and corridors of government, a journalist uncovers an unthinkable conspiracy—</h2>
<p><span>Like many, you have suspicions that you are surveilled—and you are—far beyond mere invasion of privacy. Every nuance of behavior, every detail of your comings and goings, every thought expressed, every utterance to another—and yes, even to yourself—are captured, collected, parsed for clandestine use and manipulation, exploitation of your body and mind—or worse—ultimate control over you, over an entire population, and whether it thrives, or changes, or dies. People, organizations, governments, and nations are nothing more than scaled pieces on the silicon planet’s game board. Macklin MacLear, an ill-starred news stringer, lands an opportunity to take on the evil colossus and right the wrongs of his past, but it comes with a heavy price, likely his life and lives of those he loves as he delves into a tech cabal’s tangled links. He remains deeply in love with his ex-wife, but she is killed, sending MacLear into a trajectory of mystery and revenge as he takes on an impossible challenge. CYBERDIE, one of the year’s best conspiracy thrillers, zeros in on frightening possibilities of uncontrolled tech breaches into our personal secrets and into society’s crumbling bulwarks, beyond mere cyber attacks and cyber terrorism. Buckle in for a steep ride up and a sharp swerve into the unknown that will keep you reading until dawn. This espionage thriller ranks in the categories of International mystery and crime, technological thrillers, murder thrillers, and political thrillers and suspense. _______________________</span></p>

<b>“Peak Experience” Announced Best in Popular Fiction Category for 2009.<br />
Author Bud Connell’s Peak Experience: A Novel Receives Top Gold Award</b><br />
<br />
May 21, 2009 – New York, NY – Organizers of the 13th annual Independent Publisher Book Awards, conducted to honor the year's best independently published books, have announced the results for the 2009 competition. While much of the world economy is in a slump, books and reading are gaining ground on more expensive forms of entertainment, and the annual list of “IPPY” award winners represents the kind of alternative viewpoints today’s readers crave.<br />
<br />
This year’s awards attracted 4,090 entries from throughout the U.S. and Canada, plus most English-speaking countries worldwide. Medal-winning books came from 44 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia, eight Canadian provinces, and six countries overseas. Launched in 1996 as the first unaffiliated awards program open exclusively to independent, university, and self-published titles, the 2009 IPPY Awards will be presented to winners at a gala celebration during BookExpo America in New York on Friday, May 29th.<br />
<br />
“Today’s readers are seeking diverse perspectives on hot-button issues,” said awards director Jim Barnes. “This year’s list represents a mix of established independents and bold new voices, and their messages echo the call for change and a straightforward approach to dealing with the world’s social, political and economic problems.”<br />
<br />
Yale University Press led the medal count with five, and Indiana University Press and Kent State University Press followed with four and three medals. New Society Publishers of British Columbia received four medals, as did Illinois-based fiction house Medallion Press, Down East Books of Maine, Creative Homeowner of New Jersey, and Abbeville Press of New York.<br />
<br />
The awards annually name the Outstanding Books of the Year, recognizing titles that “take chances and break new ground” in categories such as Most Likely to Save the Planet and Storyteller of the Year. This year’s 2 recipients in 12 categories represent some of the English-speaking world’s most daring and distinctive writing and publishing.<br />
