Overdue Update and a Big Book Sale

It’s been a long road surviving the pandemic and all the other things that made it worse, but we’re starting to see the end of this dark tunnel. Finally. I hope you’re all doing all right, staying healthy, and getting by in the best ways you can.

I admit it: I’ve done a lousy job sending out any updates in this newsletter over the last eleven months. I’ve been hibernating like all of us. Missing my favorite bars and restaurants, bookstores and live music. Dying to play soccer again and watch it in person. Grieving, but hoping. I grew a mustache, which turned into a scruffy beard. 

Still, I’ve been getting lots of writing done. I’ve completed two new novels, both different from what I’ve done before, and I’m excited about their potential.

Meanwhile, book #4 in my Kaspar Brothers series has been finished for some time. The working title is Code Word: Wendelin. It’s set behind the Iron Curtain in 1949 as Max Kaspar attempts to rescue his brother Harry from a secret operation gone mysteriously awry. More on that sooner than later, hopefully. Also, a big psychological thriller I translated is coming out this spring: Seat 7A by bestselling German author Sebastian Fitzek. This story is a wild ride. If you don’t love flying, you might read this one before we all start flying again.

Speaking of the Kaspar Brothers, I’d like to tell you about a big new push to get the existing series to more readers. This week the ebook version of book #1, The Losing Role, is going on sale for only 99 cents in the US and similar in other markets. Plus it has a great newer cover. Click here to get a copy.

At the same time, my publisher of books #2 and #3, Liberated and Lost Kin, is discounting those ebooks to $1.99 in the US and hopefully other markets later. The whole promotion will last into springtime. If you haven’t read the series, this is a great way to try them out. And each book works as a standalone story so don’t feel you have to read them in order.

That’s it for now. Stay healthy and keep going, because we’re nearly there. Screw you, Covid!
