Newsletter #9 - Come to the (Online) Party!

The time has come. No more waiting. BLOWBACK is here!

Yes, one pandemic book launch was not enough. So, I’m having a second one. The event will be on Zoom, Wednesday, February 24 at 6:30pm EST.

I’ll be in conversation with award-winning NY Times bestselling author John Gilstrap, who will be launching CRIMSON PHOENIX, the first book in his new series. John and I will be talking about our books, our writing, our experiences that led to our writing, the perils of men writing strong female lead characters and who-knows-what-else.

Here are the details:

If you tweet, please tweet it out. Perhaps something like:

#BlowbackNovel, launches this month from @KensingtonBooks. It’s the 2nd #TaskForceEpsilon #Thriller by @apessin, award-winning author of #SandblastNovel. Check it out! www.alpessin.com

Feel free to embellish. ;)

In other news... 

Book Three in the Task Force Epsilon series, SHOCK WAVE, is done! Pretty much. After a summer of pandemic-related writing malaise (a well-recognized condition among writers), I made my deadline on January 15. Whew! After reading it, my editor at Kensington Publishing, Michaela Hamilton, said “Bravo! Great job.” I’m waiting to hear from my wonderful expert beta-readers before making a few tweaks ahead of the production deadline in the spring. SHOCK WAVE will be out in about a year, and I hope I’ll finally be able to see many of you in-person at some real, live brick-and-mortar events for its launch.
