Early Warning for Thriller Readers

[Brag]

Hi Gang!

It is my pleasure to announce that my espionage thriller KINGMAKER will be released in February 2008 by Light Sword Publishing in the U.S.A.

Here is the jacket blurb:

Powerful transnational commercial interests manipulate the War on Terror and news media. Cynical former CIA operative John Trager’s search for the truth leads him to Africa and the mysterious anthropologist Simone Loriot. Her passionate quest to save her adopted Central African country from looters of natural resources draws Trager into a violent whirlwind of mercenaries, tribal rivalries and a traitor in The White House. Facing disaster, Trager finds his true self and reason for self-sacrifice.

Please keep an eye for further news and reviews, which I will post as they arrive.

The first chapter is available for reading on my webbie.
Your support in making this explosive novel an international success is greatly appreciated.

Besties to everyone,
Brag

Send me 10 signed copies so I can flog them on ebay.

Good luck to you Brag.

Thanks, Steed. We'll talk as the books become available. Meanwhile gotta create a buzz. We're at 97 days to D Day got to soften up the beaches with some artillery.

Good luck with the sales numbers. Hope it pays off for you.

I'll buy it .

I hope to write a book one day. Unfortunately, it would require getting off my butt and doing it . Making the transition from thought to 1st chapter is a difficult journey. You have my respect for finishing the trip!

Yup, good luck with your book, as Peto says, getting off your ass to do it is the first hurdle cleared. All the writers I ever worked with would frequently say things along the lines of 'I could write something better than that' whenever they came across a book they didn't like, to which I generally replied, 'Well clearly you can't or you would have done so' and in fact it was that realisation that started me writing the one one I'm doing, simply so I wouldn't be the pot calling the kettle black :rotfl:hard work but fun all the same.

Anyway, I hope it does well for you Brag.

Getting a book published is a looong and hard road. I finished my first novel 10 years ago (7 hand written notebooks), then wrote 5 more, did get a computer , though. And kept harrasing agents and publishers.

Yup Chock. If it isn't fun, writing is not worth the effort.
