THE DEATH TRUST, first book in the SA Vin Cooper series, is to be reprinted. This is almost as good as it gets in publishing, short of receiving a call from Jerry Bruckheimer to enquire about film rights (which hasn't happened yet, Jerry...). What this means is that word of mouth is starting to kick in. It means the next book to feature Cooper has a better chance of being published in the U.S. Better yet, it also increases the likelihood that I won't have to go and get a real job.

Have a look at the movie-style trailer for my current release in Australia and New Zealand, A ZERO OPTION. Trust me, the book is way better than the acting.

THE ZERO OPTION my sixth book. It's a stand-alone epic that introduces a whole suite of new characters. It's a story based on the shooting down of Korean Air Lines Flight 007, a 747 with 269 passengers and crew, off Sakhalin Island by the Soviet Union in 1983. The story spans roughly thirty years and comes to a climax shortly before the US Presidential elections in 2012. This book is a departure for me, mostly because Vin Cooper isn't the protagonist. For those of you interested in such things, this one took a year and a half to research, a year to write and four months to edit. And I think it's my best book so far.

This website may confuse you because it talks about books that haven't been released in your market. Hell, it confuses me too. The story is this: THE DEATH TRUST has been released on US and Canadian shores in both hard cover and paperback editions. A KNIFE EDGE hard cover was released on March 24, 2009. The paperback edition will come your way in around 12 months time, with the hard cover edition of HARD RAIN to follow shortly thereafter. I hope that clears things up.
However, if you can't wait for the next Vin Cooper, go to www.dymocks.com.au and order your heart's desire there (Dymocks is an Australian Barnes and Noble kinda deal).

The option to turn my first novel, ROGUE ELEMENT, into a feature film has been finalized. I can't say by who, 'cause they're a sensitive bunch. They're also pretty serious about it so, who knows, I might one day soon get my photo in the Sunday papers for throwing my cell at a paparazzi while strolling the red carpet.

HARD RAIN, the third book in the series featuring Special Agent featuring Special Agent Vin Cooper, made the Sydney Morning Herald best sellers list (Spectrum 2/8). This was a great result for me becuase it means that I can now really big note myself at dinner parties.
Apparently the other books in the Vin Cooper series have received a kick up the sales butt, too, as a result of the success of HARD RAIN.
