Last week was a first for me, I ran a free book promotion. I was nervous that people would value all my hard work commensurate with the price, and braced myself against reviewer whiplash. I was very plesantly surprised. The quality of the reviews and direct reader feedback via email has been fantastic. I'm so touched and grateful!

There are a couple of stories behind Betrayal, the novel I chose for this promotion. The first involves the plot, which I'll summarize here by saying that it involves some venting from this Special Forces vet and former Blue-Chip exec. The second involves the process of Betrayal's publication, which I won't go into here, but have been sharing with readers who write me.

In retrospect, I shouldn't have been surprised that this novel resonated with the political / military thriller audience. Acts of betrayal strike us at a visceral level, stirring up passions, and readers of those genres tend to be a passionate bunch.

I'm deeply moved and motivated by the heartfelt written reviews, and thrilled with the company I'm now keeping on Amazon's "Customers Also Bought" list. As a way of saying Thanks!, I'll send anyone who reads this blog post and references it in an email a free copy of Betrayal. Thank you so very much, my dear readers!
