<\/strong><\/p>\n

I am happy to announce that my latest book, The Quest<\/em>, was published on Tuesday, September 17. As I\u2019ve mentioned, most hardcover novels are published on a Tuesday. Why? Think of it as the starting gate in a horse race \u2014 about a dozen major novels line up in the gates on Tuesday, a gun is fired, and the announcer shouts, \u201cThey\u2019re off! The Quest\u00a0<\/em>is out in front, followed by\u2026\u201d Well, I\u2019m not saying who else is in the race, but let\u2019s say The Quest\u00a0<\/em>has some stiff competition.<\/p>\n

To further confuse the race, some books from the previous weeks are still on the track, jockeying for position. There are only a limited number of bestselling positions and it can get ugly.<\/p>\n

Having said that, all authors are truly collegial and we wish each other well. We don\u2019t, however, wish to be beaten.<\/p>\n

The fall season tends to be crowded with big-name authors on the run-up to the holidays, and this is good for readers who have a lot of excellent choices. I urge you, my loyal fans, to put your money on The Quest<\/em>.<\/p>\n

The Quest<\/em> is available in hardcover through your favorite online retailer, and also as an ebook and an audio download. The audio CD will be available shortly. There was a slight problem at the CD factory; they mixed up The Quest<\/em> CD labels with the musical score from Mary Poppins<\/em>. We\u2019re getting it straightened out.<\/p>\n

The audio is read by Scott Brick who is the narrator for all my John Corey books, and though I haven\u2019t heard it yet, the people in the recording studio said it sounded great. Better than Mary Poppins<\/em>.<\/p>\n

What is The Quest<\/em> about? It has been described as Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code<\/em>. Lots of action, romance, and mystery. I think this is one of my best books and I hope you agree.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t forget, you can read the first two chapters of The Quest<\/em>, for free, by clicking here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Early sales of The Quest<\/em> have been excellent and I thank you all for your continuing support.<\/p>\n

Write to me through my website mailbox and let me know how you liked The Quest<\/em>.<\/p>\n
