Tietoja minustaI am a novelist living in San Antonio, Texas, though, for the record, I am not from Texas. I just live here. I have five novels: The latest, to be published on September 30th, is called The Whiskey Rebels. It's set in New York, Philadelphia and Western Pennsylvania during the early 1790s, and it is essentially a thriller in which I try to show how unstable and precarious the future of the United States looked in its earliest years. The book is full of plots, deception and heavy drinking, and it is populated with a nice assortment of schemers, true believers and general smart-asses
On to the previous booksK A Conspiracy of Paper (which won the Edgar Award for Best First Novel) and A Spectacle of Corruption were both national bestsellers. They are set in 18th century London and feature Benjamin Weaver, a Jewish former pugilist, thief-taker for hire. Weaver will be back in 2009 with The Devil’s Company, but he’s featured in a new short story, The Double Dealer” in the anthology Thriller , edited by James Patterson. The Coffee Trader is set in 17th century Amsterdam. It was also a national bestseller, and is a book group favorite. My most recent novel, The Ethical Assassin , is a contemporary animal ights thriller about door-to-door encyclopedia salesmen.

Tietoja kirjastostaniI will only post books I like. I don't believe knocking down other writers in public.

We are wrapping up our read of The Coffee Trader here on LibraryThing, and have had some great discussions and participation on our group read.
If you have a moment, perhaps you'd like to stop by and say hello or just to see how we read through your book as our members are from all over the world in different time zones, reading at different speeds.
I'm quite pleased with the wonderful group members we had and their enthusiasm for this great book you have written.
Thank you for reading -

Merry Christmas , Seasons Greetings , Happy Hannukah , Joyeux Noel , Happy Kwanzaa , Yuletide Blessings , Peace on Earth and Blessings from Sacred Mother Earth.
May this holiday season inspire one and all to elevate their souls to greater things. May we all sip lifes sweet moments as we celebrate the coming of the New Year for with it comes the hope for a brighter tomorrow.
I thank all who have touched my life this past year , for friendships and acts of kindness are the nectar that nurtures ones spirit and sustains ones soul. Know that your kindness has allowed my inner self to swim in an ocean of light. The singing of your heart has resonated positively with me and inspired me to greet each day with brilliance.
My wish is for the New Year to bring all who read this peace , love and harmony. May you create a path of light where earthly treasures abound and may you awaken to your true purpose as you open your soul to a new world of guiding wisdom. The greatest gift you can give during the holidays is a warm smile , a loving embrace and an outstretched hand. Share those things not only with loved ones but with all humankind and together we can make the New Year one of bliss , beauty and love profound.
Merry Christmas , Seasons Greetings , Happy Hannukah , Joyeux Noel , Happy Kwanzaa , Yuletide Blessings , Peace on Earth and Blessings from Sacred Mother Earth.
Yours in Holiday Spirit

You asked me to let you know when we post your book to our Book Group.
http://www.librarything.com/groups/thehi...
We had 35 members for our last Group Read so I am expecting more for your book.
We are all looking forward to it and we hope you will drop by from time to time.

I thought perhaps you would like some review of the Kindle from one who has one. I love it. I recently took it with me for a two week visit in France. I enjoyed using it on the airplanes and in the evenings when I read in bed. I found it to be way easier than the half a dozen books I feel compelled to pack for trips. It also made it possible for me to buy and bring books home.
I find the variable font feature to be very useful for situations where the lighting is not perfect and for times when I am tired.
I also use it to skim through the New York Times.
I am looking forward to checking out your novels. Keep up the great research.

Thank you for your comments on your books - I quite like the idea of the other book you mentioned - The Coffee Treader! However, I think I will probably go with The Coffee Trader for the Book Group, but look forward to reading your other books as well.

A fellow member, reichardderus by name, recently reviewed your book: The Whiskey Rebels.
As I was searching for a book for The Highly-Rated Book Group here on LibraryThing, I was impressed with Richard’s high opinion of your skills as a novelist.
See review here: http://www.librarything.com/profile_revi...
I am considering either A Conspiracy of Paper or The Coffee Trader for our Group read starting in January 2009. You mentioned in your Profile that The Coffee Trader is a Book Group favourite. Why is that do you think? Which one do you recommend?
We currently have 29 members in our group and we are planning to read: A Pirate of Exquisite Mind starting on Nov 3rd.
See link here: http://www.librarything.com/groups/apira...
We previously read: The Poisonwood Bible.
