Fourth Book Finished!

I finally finished my 4th book, www.whatif, and it should be available soon.   It's a true "what if" story...in this case, what if there were a company that could be called upon to handle sensitive matters that lie beyond the reach of official entities?  First-time author Joe Dutcher isn't afraid to push the envelope in this look at one way, albeit extreme, to address the ever-escalating price of energy.  He promises 1, probably 2 sequels, and I must confess to being curious to see where he goes next.  I'll let you know when it's available.

Almost as soon as I finished that one I got a contract for a new one, Duty to Investigate.  This one is about a journalist embedded in a Marine combat unit in the second Iraq war and promises to be a very good read.  I've submitted the first 15 minutes for the author's approval and am looking forward to getting into it full tilt!

Two New Books Available!!

Shattered: on the Edge of Insanity went on  sale on audible.com on Fri and has already shattered all of my expectations!  This book caught me so off guard at the end that I talked about it for days after finishing it.  There were several times throughout the read that I thought I'd figured it out, only to find that I was SOOOO far off!  Attorney Rick Ratner wakes up in a mental hospital, not knowing how he got there, only to learn that his  daughter has been murdered...by him!  If you like well-crafted suspenseful mysteries, this is a MUST read (hear?).  To listen to a sample, go to:  http://www.audible.com/search/ref=a_search_tseft__galileo?advsearchKeywords=Shattered%3A+on+the+Edge+of+Insanity&x=13&y=21

The Stillness of Winter, which I actually finished before Shattered, is now available on audible.com and should be out on amazon and iTunes soon.  This was a different read for me...it's a love story (not to be confused with a romance novel) told by a guy from a guy's perspective. I never spoke with the author about it, but it reads like a memoir and, if it isn't, he's a very good author, simply because he pulls you in and makes you feel it is real. Be forewarned, the language gets a little rough...again because it's real. It's 3 best friends who interact like any best friends do--without having to worry about filters or being judged; there is absolutely no pretentiousness here. If you read it, be prepared for some surprises.  To listen to a sample, go to:  http://www.audible.com/search/ref=a_search_tseft__galileo?advsearchKeywords=The+Stillness+of+Winter&x=11&y=11
