April 2012
Spring is officially here, which means the weather in New York City is all over the place! One day we have rainstorms and cold temperatures all day, and the next, it’s 70 degrees and sunny. I was looking at the collection of shoes that I have worn over the past week, and it ranged from flip flops to loafers to cowboy boots, which sums things up pretty nicely. But regardless of the weather, spring means some special holidays and plenty of great features and giveaways. As a mother, I vote for Mother’s Day as the most important upcoming holiday!

One could pitch Randy Wayne White’s new Doc Ford thriller as “Die Hard on an island.” While not totally inaccurate, such a description over-simplifies the book. CHASING MIDNIGHT is a bit more cerebral, and even tosses a whodunit element into the mix. One would expect no less from White and Ford.

About the BookIt began peacefully enough, on one of Florida's private islands. At a reception hosted by a notorious Russian black marketeer, Doc Ford uses darkness, and his friend Tomlinson, as cover to get an underwater look at the billionaire's yacht. By the time Ford surfaces, everything has changed. Environmental extremists have taken control of the island. Or are they thugs hired by the Russian's competitors? Whatever the motive, they have herded everyone together and threatened to kill one hostage every hour until midnight unless their demands are met-at which point they will just blow everybody up. Electronic jammers make communications with the outside world impossible. The only hope of avoiding terrible consequences: The militants do not know Ford's capabilities, or that he is still on the loose. But that situation won't last for long...and the clock is ticking.
