"The Berlin Connection" is out! What's next?

Hi all, I'm excited to announce that my latest Nathan Grant thriller, The Berlin Connection, is done and out there!  This one is available for Kindle on Amazon and finds Nathan once again traversing the globe as he tries to unwind another sinister plot.  Can he make it out of this one alive?  Read it now to see!

For those of you who are curious about what comes next for this series, I thought I'd give a preview.  First off, I need to format the paperback version of this one, but I will get to that this week.  As for an audio version, that might be a while.  Sales are a little slow on those, so I'm not in a big hurry.  

When it comes to the next books planned, my idea is to write a novella about Nathan's first-ever assignment as a young operative with the CIA.  I'm still working out the details of the story, but I plan to give this novella away for free to anybody on my newsletter list.  I anticipate that this one will take me about three months or so to get done.  If you'd like to make sure you get your free copy, you can sign up here.

After that one is finished, then I'll move on to book four in the series.  I've teed this one up to have Nathan joining forces with Natalia Nicolaeva in London, but other than that I don't quite know the story yet.  I look forward to spending some time to sort it all out.  In the meantime, for anyone who downloads The Berlin Connection, happy reading and I hope that you like it!

In Memoriam

This is a hard one to write, and I'll keep it brief, but I wanted to post a few words about the one person on earth that I was closest to, and that was my dad, who passed away last month at the age of 85.

Richard Rosenberg was kind, whip-smart, funny, and always there when I needed him, no matter what.  He was also my most enthusiastic reader.  Months ahead of each release, he would start asking, "When is it going to be done?"  When I did finally have a draft, he was always the first reader, and I relied on his thoughtful comments as I went through my revisions.

As some of my readers here know, I'm close to releasing my latest Nathan Grant thriller, and I was really hoping I could get it done in time for my dad to read it.  I thought I was going to make it, but then his situation with pancreatic cancer deteriorated quickly.  I had a draft done, but he wasn't in any state to read it.  Instead, I sat by his hospital bed and told him the story, start to finish.

As it is, this is a devastating loss for me, and I'm still trying to process it and focus as much as I can on all of the great times we shared.  This book, though, is the first one I've ever written that my dad didn't get to read.  I don't know if there is a heaven, or an afterlife, but I'd like to think so, and that he is there, watching over me.  From the very beginning of my writing career, one of my goals was always to make my father proud.  I know that he was, and I was certainly always proud to be his son.  He is and will be deeply missed.
