Tuesday, October 18, 2011 ... more sales means more book links ... H ere are some thrillers people bought in addition to my novel. 1. The Confession by John Grisham “The secrets of Grisham’s success are no secret at all.

Sunday, October 16, 2011 ... there doesn't seem to be a shortage of novels for people to read ... I Here are some links to The President's Henchman and The Protectors . And a blurb on his novel. As we've just seen, it's only a matter of time—and not that long a time—before the United States elects its first female president. Which will make her husband—what? Well, if he's the ex-cop who solved the murder of the president's first husband and brought the killers to justice…and if he's not the kind of guy to stand on formality…and if he doesn't want to be the head of the FBI…and if he takes out a license and becomes the first private eye to live in the White House… That would make him The President's Henchman. Jim McGill's first case is to find out who is stalking a member of the White House press corps, before that stalker turns the tables on McGill and maybe even threatens the president herself. He also has to be a shado...

Saturday, October 15, 2011 ... do you like the cover of this novel ... T here’s James Gilbert, author of The Elect, and me, James Piper, author of The Protectors. The two of us have three great things in common. We’re both authors, that’s clear, but we’re also males and alive. But that’s not the entire point. The point is we have the best first name. No that’s not it either. No. We have readers in common. Here are some links to The Elect and The Protectors . And a blurb on his novel. Reed Thompson is the country's leading conservative talk radio host. His wife Sandy is a successful public relations executive. Together, they enjoy the rarified (sic) life of wealth and comfort in their urbane Chicago social circles. Yet that uncomplicated existence is turned upside down when the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for President is killed in a helicopter crash on the eve of the New Hampshire primary and Reed is cast into the unlikely role as the heir apparen...

Friday, October 07, 2011 ... if people are reading Grisham and me, does that mean ... S ince my debut novel, The Protectors, has been published, there has been a series of books people have bought in connection with mine. It’s interesting to see these connections. Some times for me, the connection results in an introduction to a new author, but not always. Today it’s John Grisham and his novel The Confession. As it would happen, I have read it. I read it on my e-reader, not a physical book as I’m used to reading. I used my Kobo, although I should add I have a Kindle for reading e-books. It’s the way these days. More and more people are reading novels in the e-book format. Not a paperback, trade paper or hardcover. The world of publishing and reading novels, reading books, is changing. Here are some links to The Confession and The Protectors . And a blurb on his novel. John Grisham delivers his most extraordinary legal thriller yet. Filled with the intriguing twis...

Roads Jack must take if he's ever to know the truth. Roads twisted by deceit, revenge, power and murder. Roads First Lady Carolyn Alden Lane navigates with great skill.
