This is no political commentary, just a semi-biased first person account of a case most of the media missed earlier this month…Operation Smoking Dragon. The good guys got it right
and no one seemed to care.
Much of my twenty-six year FBI career was spent in various undercover roles. I often joke I never had a mid-life crisis I just became a different UC persona…contract killer, fence, drug dealer,…

Richards wrote this along with British author James Fox. I am a huge Rolling Stones fan and didn’t really know what to expect from this novel when I got it. Here are some of the questions I had in my mind before I even
opened it:
What was it really going to cover?
Were there going to be important things in there that the average fan didn’t know?
Was Richards going to reveal the…

Draculas is not your ordinary tale of a bloodsucker. The Draculas in this novel are nasty and billed as the kind that will crawl into your head and give you nightmares. The
novel is a collaboration of four different authors and it really works. One
might expect for it to be a hodge podge of words and thoughts but the plotline
is tight and the action, bloodletting and carnage is constant and moving. I am just starting to enjoy novels in this…

I am putting it out there in the first sentence; I think this is the best novel I have read this year. Yes, I am a big Mitch Rapp fan; I think anyone that has followed this blog knows I love the character as much as
I enjoy some of the big names out there today.
Vince Flynn just hits a grand slam as he uses American Assassin, a
prequel, to explain for us in tremendous detail, what makes Mitch Rapp so Mitch
Rapp. I loved every word…

There have been many words bandied about trying to put those that are self- published in a bad light lately, and I for one am really surprised. Sugar Tower by Jessica Dee Rohm was a quarter finalists for the 2010
Amazon Breakthrough Novel of The Year and with good reason. Basically it is a
well written novel that grabbed me right away and made it very difficult for me
to put it down. Here is the synopsis of the novel : “The great real estate
crash has…

Am I a total geek, a Trekkie, I think not. I saw this and just had to read it. I saw the Star Trek movie in 2009 with Chris Pine & company and really enjoyed it as did many other people. The bad guy Nero,
played by Eric Bana, intrigued me and I had many questions left unanswered by
the movie, this official prequel graphic novel took care of all of them for me,
from a to z, and then some.
Here is a little bit from the…

Power Down is a debut novel by Ben Coes. He is anything but a rookie as far as writing goes, here are the highlights of his career from the back cover: “Ben Coes worked at
the White House under President Ronald Reagan and was a White House appointed
speech writer at the height of the Gulf War. He was the campaign manager of Mitt
Romney’s 2002 gubernatorial campaign and was a fellow at Harvard University’s
John F. Kennedy School of…

Rambling thoughts took me back to the basics
By Abe F. March
I know that our economy is based on buying and selling. Commercials promoting products and services are everywhere. Billboard promotions
clutter our highways. TV programs are constantly interrupted with
advertising. Junk mail fills…

The graphic novel is based on the New York Times bestselling novel by Dean Koontz & Kevin J. Anderson. This is my first read on a Koontz work and I really enjoyed it. His update on the old story just fit together so
well and made so much sense it was hard not to enjoy it. I want to share with
you a few pieces of the graphic novel that I really enjoyed. Here is Dean
Koontz from the intro: ”This is why it seemed to me appropriate to update…

Interview with Mark Rahner creator of Rotten
A zombie Sarah Palin?
An insufferable hate-monger named “Bill O’Malley?”

All that and much more is in the latest issue of the…

Personally I don’t know how the guy does it time after time after time. I am going to admit to having read most of his work, not all of it, but most of it. The thing that always sticks with me about his writing is the
depth and humanity he adds to his characters. Here is what the novel is about:
“Getting caught is simply not an option.
It's been a year since Jack Marconi's wife was killed. Ever since,…

Hey, I just needed to fit this in today. I am a big fan of Stuart Woods, and will admit to having read all his novels, all of them. I saw this was coming out and I figure, why break my streak. I went through this
quickly and laughed almost from beginning to end for many reasons. The title
for one, it should have been Santa Fe Soap Opera or As Stuart Woods Turns. Don’t
miss understand me, I am not hating on it. I think it was just what I needed in
a…

Hello!! I am going to say this right off the bat: If you enjoy or love character driven fiction, a little humor in your reading (okay maybe I should say smart aleck responses and sardonic humor), a good, fun,
mystery and a nice detective novel, then I have just the author for you. I
didn’t know the author existed until one of the nice local librarians pointed
him out to me. I know most of them (the librarians) a long time; they try to
direct me to neat…

eBooks… Fad or Future?
I know I talk about eBooks a lot and I am sure some people are sick and tired of hearing about it, but… I can’t help myself. eBooks are the reason I can write for a living, the reason I can sit here in a local
Starbucks in Nampa Idaho and not really have a job. I laugh every time someone
asks what I do. I think about it and say, “I am semi retired.”…

Happy Monday to everybody! We are coming into an incredible stretch of novels that seems like a blitzkrieg but basically it is just the precursor to Christmas, go figure. There are seriously good novels being
released this week and Michael Connelly’s The
Reversal leads the way. Harry Bosch, Mickey Haller, and just about
everybody in their little fictional microcosm is involved in some small
capacity. Just…

I had occasion to bump into Vincent Zandri and for some reason, he being of such few words, I only got one question in on him. The one question: Hey, what ‘s new?
It's been ten years since the publication of my first major thriller, As Catch Can. Back then it was called, The Innocent, but the publisher decided to change the title at the
last minute since a sister publisher had an author with the same title, and…
