In support of higher education, and the cultural uplifting of our full time students, I will hold a book signing at the Northern Virginia Community college today. Halloween is the perfect day for me to talk about something as scary as nuclear devastation, so signing The Piranha Assignment is appropriate. If you're in or near Northern Virginia, come visit me Monday at that NVCC Alexandria Campus Bookstore, 3001 N Beauregard St., Alexandria, VA. I'll be there from 2pm to 6pm.

I was lucky enough to have a guest blog posted on the prestigious Sons of Spade web site. Please give it a read. http://sonsofspade.blogspot.com/2011/10/guest-post-truly-noir-by-austin-s.html

I can only feel sorry for those of you who missed the Piranha Assignment release party. The music was great. The food was super. We had all the Bailey's Irish Creme (Felicity O'Brien's drink) and a nice lager (Morgan Stark's choice) than my 45 or so guests could drink. And yes, I signed a few books too. But mostly it was a great party and a good excuse to start another book!

The press release for The Piranha Assignment is on line!  Please share with everybody who loves a good thriller!  http://readersentertainment.com/2011/the-piranha-assignment-by-austin-s-camacho-press-release/

As a writer of hardboiled detective fiction I greatly enjoy the Sons of Spade blog, which spotlights the fictional privarte eye. Jochem Vandersteen, who runs it, is a Dutch author who often works in English. Crime movies and novels are the focus of this blog, and the site maintains a global view. If detective fiction is your thing, you need to check out the Sons of Spade. http://www.sonsofspade.tk/

My last public appearance was on a panel at Fall for the Book. I sat on a panel with three other talented Virginia wordsmiths at George Mason University where much of the festival took place. My reading from Russian Roulette appeared to please the audience, as did the diverse material from the other authors. It was great fun and I hope it becomes an annual event for the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Virginia Writers Club, which hosted the readings.

My latest Stark and O’Brien adventure thriller, The Piranha Assignment, was released today! You can order a copy from Amazon.com today, or get your Kindle copy for 99 cents. http://www.amazon.com/Piranha-Assignment-Austin-S-Camacho/dp/0979478855/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1317505936&sr=1-1
