The proof copy of my newest novel, "Mark in Sales," was supposed to come from Amazon today, but the Amazon delivery driver delivered it to the wrong address. To the person in South Philly who got it, I hope you enjoy if you read it.

New podcast, episode 236, "Capitol Conspiracy" with screenwriter Richard Pierce.

We get stuck in on this Don "the Dragon" Wilson classic, but beforehand we talk about Rich's experiences as a screenwriter, and the good ol' days of taping movies like these on cable.

King spoke at my graduation at UMaine when he was governor in 2002. I don’t remember “be weak and give in when things get tough” being his advice to us, but it’s been over 20 years now, so I may have just forgotten it.

Do you know what a lupara is?

Why not let Professor Killfrenzy educate you in Frenzi: When in Rome...Kill?

It's a bloody action saga set to be unleashed in just ten days!

www.amazon.com/Frenzi-When-...

Remember: in a Point of Impact book, the bad guys definitely do not win.
A page from the print copy of Frenzi: When in Rome...Kill! reading as follows: "As it opened, he had the Browning up, one-handed. He needed to identify this guy before he figured out that it wasn’t his boss paying him a visit. It was going to be close. The flashlight helped, turning Frenzi into a silhouette and putting the guard in the spotlight. Frenzi saw the guy squint. He was a heavyset goon with brown suspenders and a chopped down lupara in his pudgy hands. That shotgun would rip Frenzi in half if the fucker had a chance to use it. The Killfrenzy ensured that he wouldn’t get the opportunity. The Browning bucked in Frenzi’s fist. The first slug found the hollow of the man’s throat, where his collar bone opened. The blood sprayed outward in a color an artist type might call ‘arterial red’. He was pushed backwards, eyes wide in shock. Frenzi saw no one else in the freight car and put another bullet in the dying guard. The slide on the Browning locked back, taunting him with the lack of bullets. He glared at it in disgust, dropping it since he had no additional ammo for the pistol. He still had the gate man’s revolver. And now a sawn-off shotgun. The lupara, as the Mafia called it, was a fantastic killing tool at close range. That was where the name came from. If you shot a man in the face with one of the homemade murder tools, the end result was similar to if wolves had torn the flesh to ribbons. There would be a closed casket funeral. Frenzi hefted the double-barrel and tucked it under his left arm. It was then that he heard the soft whimpering. The girl was huddled in the corner, a threadbare pink blanket thrown over her head. It was a miserable sort of shield to try and protect her from the wretched course her young life had taken. For a man who had been the..."
