Order now. And don\u2019t forget the sequel, <a href=\"https:\/\/alexdemille.com\/nelson\/the-lion\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Lion<\/a>. And the latest, <a href=\"https:\/\/alexdemille.com\/nelson\/the-panther\/\" target=\"_blank\">The Panther<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>I was honored to be the subject of a cover story in the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lipulse.com\/trends\/article\/nelson-demille\/\" target=\"_blank\">Long Island Pulse<\/a>, for their March edition. Check it out. The cover photo shows me smoking a cigarette, which as I explained to my health insurance provider and my life insurance agent, is only a prop. Writers once had a bad reputation for drinking and smoking, but now they eat macrobiotic food, exercise, and meditate&#8230;\u201d which might explain some of the crap that\u2019s out there. Did that come out right?<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, I\u2019m on a roll with magazine covers, and the April edition of American Legion magazine will have me front and center. I\u2019m not sure what photo they\u2019re using for the cover, but I hope it\u2019s the one where I\u2019m on the treadmill eating an organic apple. But I digress. I was truly honored to be interviewed by the American Legion magazine, not only for my writing accomplishments, but also because of my military service. More on this in the April Newsletter.<\/p>\n<p>On the movie front, Aaron Eckhart as John Corey in <a href=\"https:\/\/alexdemille.com\/nelson\/plum-island\/\" target=\"_blank\">Plum Island<\/a> has moved another step closer to reality. More on this as it develops. I don\u2019t want to jinx it.<\/p>\n<p>More exciting news: Many years ago, I wrote a paperback originally titled The Quest. It\u2019s about a search for the Holy Grail, and it preceded The Da Vinci Code and the subsequent slew of religious thrillers by about thirty years. Well, I decided to resurrect The Quest and I\u2019m rewriting it. It will be published on September 17 by Center Street. You can <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/exec\/obidos\/ASIN\/1455549657\/nelsondemille-20\" target=\"_blank\">pre -order it now<\/a>. We don\u2019t have cover art yet, but I\u2019m thinking of Da Vinci\u2019s Last Supper, showing Judas smoking a cigarette. Maybe French fries on his plate. Bad guy.<\/p>\n<p>Let me take this opportunity to wish all my Irish friends \u2014 and everyone is Irish on March 17 \u2014 a happy St. Patrick\u2019s Day. And let me also take this opportunity to suggest a book that captures the spirit and joy of that day: <a href=\"https:\/\/alexdemille.com\/nelson\/cathedral\/\" target=\"_blank\">Cathedral<\/a>, by me. It\u2019s about the Irish Republican Army taking over St. Patrick\u2019s Cathedral in New York during the parade on Fifth Avenue. So, maybe it doesn\u2019t exactly capture the spirit and joy of the day, but it\u2019s a good read. It\u2019s a perfect St. Patrick\u2019s Day gift. Order now.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, because Passover and Easter come early this year, let me now wish everyone of both faiths a joyous and blessed holiday. And keep in mind that there are more things that bind us together than divide us. Jesus, remember, was in Jerusalem for the Passover, and the Last Supper was a Seder meal. Judas got stuck with the bill, and well\u2026you know the rest.<\/p>\n<p>So, happy St. Pat\u2019s, happy Passover and Easter, and happy spring.<\/p>\n<p><!--END NEWSLETTER--><\/p>\n<p class=\"nl-signature\">Sincerely,<br \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/alexdemille.com\/nelson\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/11\/nelson-demille-signature.png\" alt=\"Nelson DeMille signature\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>March comes in like a lion and goes out like The Lion&#8217;s Game.
