When Mother Nature is at her worst, thriller writer Buzz Bernard is at his best!
NY Giant quarterback Eli Manning getting sacked by Dallas Cowboy linebacker.
Those of you who’ve been in the writing business for awhile and have attempted to get traditionally published know what a discouraging, demeaning, difficult challenge that is.

It’s been awhile since I’ve written a blog, mainly because I feel the the media universe has become super-saturated with them. Same thing with author newsletters and books in general. So I’ll understand if only a few people ever read this.

I obviously can’t answer for every such author, but here’s my to-read list for the next few months.

The writers whose books I’ve queued up are all ones I’ve read before, and who have seldom, if ever, disappointed me.
Here’s my list:
THE DIRECTOR, David Ignatius (contemporary espionage–release date 6/5).
