ADRENALINE in Paperback

ADRENALINE hits stores today, Tuesday December 27, in paperback. There are two covers: one is black (like the hardcover), the other is a beautiful silver. The book is the same inside. There’s also an excerpt of THE LAST MINUTE, the second Sam Capra novel, which will be out in the US and Canada on July [...]

A Detailed Interview.

Here’s a 20-minute interview with me on KUT (University of Texas) radio, during their NPR Morning Edition program. In it I talk about creating Sam Capra and writing suspense fiction. Might be of particular interest to writerly types, although I did hear from a bunch of readers after a shorter version aired this morning.

USA TODAY Spy Fiction Roundup

ADRENALINE is featured in today’s USA TODAY summer spy fiction roundup. I’m delighted to be included and all the books sound like entertaining reads.

A Second Week on the NYT, Interviews, and Cocktails

Last Wednesday I found out ADRENALINE is staying for a second week on the New York Times bestseller list. It is now at #26. I thought for sure it would fall off the list (many books do each week, as a matter of course) and was so excited it held on. It was much less [...]

The Moment You Hit the New York Times List

The Hardest Part/An Interview with Me

I’m guest-starring today at two very good blogs on suspense and mystery fiction. Janice Gable Bashman asked me to write about an aspect of writing for her excellent blog The Writing Life, so I wrote about The Hardest Part of writing a book. My answer as to what’s the biggest challenge may surprise you. Molly [...]

No Rest for the Dead

Twenty-six authors, one mystery. All for a great cause. NO REST FOR THE DEAD is a new “serial novel” — meaning that a different writer wrote each chapter. All proceeds benefit the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. I wrote a chapter, and some of crime fiction’s biggest names are involved: Lisa Scottoline, Marcus Sakey, Diana Gabaldon, [...]

Amazon and Associated Press and Adrenaline

Could I have worked another A into that title? Amazon names ADRENALINE one of its Best Books for July, with a wonderful review. And another rave review comes from The Associated Press, which means this review will likely run in many different news sources (here, at ABC News Entertainment). It’s been a good morning!
