This week we have a special author to share with you in our Debut Author: One to Watch feature. She's Jodi Compton, who has written a book called THE 37th HOUR that will be in stores on December 30th. Joe Hartlaub, Wiley Saichek and I all read this and immediately blitz emailed each other talking about the storyline --- and the great writing. Not sure if you know, but Joe lives and works in Ohio, Wiley lives and works in Texas and I work out of our New York office. Thus when we "talk" about a book the mail and IMs are fast and furious, which is what happened as we all finished THE 37TH HOUR.

What is your favorite holiday book?

This week when I was out and about the city I felt the holiday rush. People were racing around shopping and admiring the decorations. I confess that when I walked into a store right before Thanksgiving and heard blaring carols, I did a slight panic. I heard trees to be decorated, presents to buy and cookies to be baked, if such a thing were possible.

Happy Thanksgiving! This newsletter is arriving in your mailboxes a couple of days early as we are taking the end of the week off to enjoy the holiday.

This week we announce our latest suspense/thriller author, Joseph Finder whose new book PARANOIA will be in stores on January 20th. As the story opens we meet Adam Cassidy, a low-level employee at a high-tech corporation who hates his job. When he manipulates the system to do something nice for a friend, he finds himself charged with a crime. Corporate Security gives him a choice: prison --- or become a spy in the headquarters of their chief competitor, Trion Systems. From this point Adam becomes a pawn in a game where someone else is controlling the moves, but who is it? It's a corporate espionage thriller that will keep you guessing till the end. I read the last line and still wonder what Adam did in answer to the final question.
