Smash Cut is officially on sale!!You can find it at your local retailer or any online retailer.   I hope you enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it!And in the extra other good news department last year I squeezed another book into my schedule, one totally different from my thrillers.  I’m pleased to say that my publisher loved it so well, they’ve rushed it into production and it will be published in early November in time for the holiday season.  The week of September 1 there will be an official announcement on my website, including the title, cover, and a video interview with me about this book.  Please watch for it!On another note, I was particularly disburbed by the story of the sightseeing helicopter and private plane that collided over the Hudson River on August 8 that killed everyone aboard the two aircrafts.  The tragedy came a little too close to home.  One week earlier, on August 1, at exactly the same time of day, my son, Ryan, his wife, Victoria, and my grandson Raff, took the Liberty tour.  It was a surprise treat for Raff’s sixth birthday.  They were the only three on that flight.  The next day they called to tell Michael and me all about it.  They’d had a wonderful time, thanks mostly to the engaging pilot who’d made certain that Raff had a great time.  The two had their picture made together.  He was Jeremy Clarke, the pilot killed in the crash.
