Coming November 1st

After one of the most harrowing weeks of Henry Parker's life, night has finally come. Settled in with Amanda Davies, he sleeps before preparing to chase a story alongside his mentor, Jack O'Donnell.

Meanwhile Jack sits on the other side of town, fresh out of rehab, hoping to salvage a once-great career derailed by public humiliation. This is Jack's last chance to leave his mark.

Elsewhere in the city, two killers are on the move. They are brutal, calculating, and after tonight their decade's long plan will come to fruition. But before the morning comes they have a few stops to make...

THE HUNTERS is a brand new, never-before-published novella that will be released exclusively as an ebook starting November 1st, 2009. It will be available on the Kindle, Cooler, Sony ereader, and all your favorite ereaders, as well as a digital download to read right on your computer.

I packed as much mayhem into these pages as possible, and I think you'll be shocked at just what will happen when the sun goes down...

I'm thrilled to announce that both THE FURY and THE DARKNESS have been selected as Indiebound picks for the upcoming months.
THE FURY was named an Indie Next Notable selection for November, while THE DARKNESS is an Indie Next pick, garnering the tagline "Great Reads From Booksellers You Trust".
Independent bookstores have been incredibly supportive of my books, and I can't thank them enough for this honor. Pick up a copy of THE FURY now and THE DARKNESS on November 24th at your local independent bookstore.

Big News:
A few days ago, THE MARK became available as a free download on the Amazon Kindle for one week (through October 5th). Well, I'm thrilled to announce that for three straight days, THE MARK, has been #1 on the Kindle bestseller charts, ahead of THE LOST SYMBOL by Dan Brown!
That's right, the first Henry Parker novel is currently ahead of one of the biggest publishing events in history, and it's all thanks to the readers who spread the word and downloaded THE MARK to their Kindle, iPhone or iPod Touch. Thank you for making this happen, and I hope this book will whet readers' appetites for the other books in the Parker series. And here's the proof!

All this week at the Amazon Kindle store, you can download the first book in my bestselling, multi award-nominated Henry Parker series. And if you like it--there are many more to whet your thriller appetite!

Movie Review: Funny People
Last night I saw "Funny People," and so here is my review, done in more 'train of thought' than formal review. I will try to avoid spoiler.
--You have to start with Adam Sandler, who gives the best performance of his career, and perhaps the best of the year so far, as George Simmons. Simmons is an Adam Sandler-type guy, who started out as a stand up comedian then made it big as a movie star. What makes Sandler so good is that his George is both despicable and sympatheti

I'm Nominated for a CrimeSpree Award!
I woke up this morning to find out that THE STOLEN had been nominated for a CrimeSpree award! Naturally I'm thrilled about this. And the reason I use the word 'had' instead of 'has' is because it's not too often you learn that you were nominated for an award and lost it on the same day you found out. Guess it saves the anxiety of waiting.
Thanks to the good folks behind CrimeSpree and the people who voted, and my heartiest congratulations to all the winners an

G.I. Joe: The MovieThe Anatomy of Creating Anti-Buzz
There's some bad buzz going around for the big screen adaptation of the popular cartoon show. I was a HUGE G.I. Joe fan growing up. Can't say I was thrilled to hear they were making a movie, but the first "Transformers" was far better than I expected. Anyway, when I saw the trailer my thought was, "Ugh...this looks terrible."
Now, I'm not a snob, and in fact I enjoyed "The Mummy" (also directed by Stephen Sommers). As we saw with "Iron Man," a

New Interview
Last month I did an interview with the Waterstone's website for THE STOLEN, but we touched on a number of topics. For Yankees, Waterstone's is basically the Barnes & Noble of the UK.

THE DARKNESScoming December 1st, 2009
So here it is at long last, the final cover for the second of my two books coming out this year, THE DARKNESS. Along with THE FURY (in stores 10/01/09), THE DARKNESS makes up one massive storyline covering two books that will change Henry Parker's life forever.

I'm incredibly proud of these two books, how they feel both intimate yet something on a large scale. They are ripped from today's headlines, yet are based on historical events that present a frightenin

Who Doesn't Get It?
I woke up early this morning, flipped on ESPN and caught the tail end of "The Sports Reporters." I enjoy the show--despite it often coming off as preachy--but something Mitch Albom said caught my attention. During his final monologue, Albom discussed the death of Walter Cronkite. In doing so, Albom stated that young people "Don't see what the big deal is" about the legendary newsman.
Now, at 29 I'm not quite sure I can still consider myself--or speak for--'young people', but th
