Triple Cross in stores today
Tuesday, April 14, 2009
TRIPLE CROSS came out today after a week of great advance reviews!
The St. Louis Post Dispatch called the novel, "splendid," and said, "If you're watching your real-life stocks tank because of the real-life greed of some investment bankers and mortgage brokers, you'll take malicious pleasure in sitting down with "Triple Cross" for the fictional payback."
My hometown newspaper, The Bozeman Chronicle, called TRIPLE CROSS "a scathing indictment of corrupt politicians and Wall Street kings."
And Dianesbooks.com raved, "Wow! The best thriller of April 2009. Wow!"
Several people have asked me today what it's like for a new novel to come out. I've told them it's kind of a scatter-shot experience. It's still exciting to go into bookstores and see what you've worked on for years finally on the shelves. It's fun to hear from old fans and dear friends.
Good reviews are soul supporters. Bad reviews are a thorn I try to pull out of my backside as quickly as possible. If you dwell on them you never get a thing done, so I don't. Some people will never like what you do. It's part of the experience of being a writer. One trick is to focus on the fact that your fans are far more numerous than your detractors.
The other trick is to sit down on the day a book comes out and take some time out to write. It helps keep me grounded. A book gets published, but a writer writes. I try not to forget that. Ever.
