Gold

I was notified this week that Fly By Night has been awarded the Florida Book Award Gold Medal for Popular Fiction! It is truly an honor, and I'm looking forward to the awards luncheon at the Governor's Mansion next month. I will soon be posting the schedule for associated book signings.
Happy Valentines Day to all! 

Ripped from the headlines!

In my most recent book, Fly By Night, Jammer Davis is hunting for a lost CIA drone in the Middle East. Anyone been watching the news lately? Sure enough, the CIA has actually lost one and Iran claims to have it. It was my idea, darn it!
On another note, if anyone has not read my first book, The Perfect Assassin, it is available on Amazon as a 99 cent download for a short time. Enjoy the holidays!

WW II

If you like World War II thrillers my second book, Stealing Trinity, is presently on sale for $2.99 on Kindle. It's a story about a spy in the Manhattan Project at the end of the war.
I was flying over Northern Arizona last week and got this great picture of the Grand Canyon from 6 miles up! It's taken looking north, and you can see snow around the North Rim.

Fly By Night

The new Jammer Davis thriller is on the shelves (and the websites).
A top secret CIA drone has been lost in the Horn of Africa and Davis is sent to investigate. What he finds is a conspiracy that will tear the region apart.

According to the New York Journal of Books, "Fly By Night is fast-paced and engaging. Thoroughly enjoyable."

On Sale--Limited Time Only

For those who have not tried my most recent book, Fly By Wire, it is presently on sale as an Amazon Kindle book for $2.99. Supplies are not limited, but I' not sure how long the sale will last.
I'm sad to say goodbye to Deb Stowell who is leaving Circle Books in Sarasota, Florida. Deb is moving away, and we will all miss her. Circle Books, however, will endure. While electronic books are making their mark, independent bookstores remain a great source for recommendations and browsing on a cool fall day. Please support them when you can. Best to all.

How engaging

This image was sent to me by Rayna Ramsey, a photographer in New Zealand. She was reading my book and decided it would make a good prop for her shoot of a model on a sailboat. You never know where your books are going to end up!

Free Beer

On August 26 and 27 I'll be attending the Mystery Florida Conference in Sarasota. It's a great chance to meet your favorite writers and learn a little about how they approach their craft. Don't miss Friday night's Mystery Mingle. I'll buy a drink for anyone who mentions this blog!
I've been reading Michael Connelly lately. The man always tells an engaging story--a true gift. Enjoy those summer reads!
