Thanks to all

I'd like to thank everyone for their support last weekend. On Saturday, May 5th, The Perfect Assassin became a hit, rising to #4 on the Kindle Bestseller list. For a short time it outsold the entire Hunger Games trilogy! For those who want to see more of this series, good news--the second installment will arrive next year. Stay tuned for details. And feel free to contact me at my website, wardlarsen.com with any questions or comments on my books.

Florida Book Award

Went to Tallahassee a few weeks ago to receive the Florida Book Award. Got to meet a lot of interesting people, including Senator Bob Graham, pictured here, who was the Bronze Medal Winner. I also got a picture of me with Bobby Bowden (great guy) but can't post it as my son is a Gator!

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.
