Tired of reading tomes full of beautiful prose and...not much else where the depths of the human psyche are plumbed and the evils of society are exposed for all to see? Then read the LASH series by Clint Reno, full of violence, action, and lots and lots of sex - you know all the good stuff.
Need a fun read? How about a hero who is a professional redistributer of wealth?
John Lash takes what he wants from the ultra wealthy. Their money. Their jewels. And even their women.
He's no common thief.
He is the King of the Prowlers. By Clint Reno!

If you fans of POI's high octane action output aren't following the DTV Connoisseur blog, you are doing yourself a disservice.
Brilliant coverage of a genre that is on life support but still manages to kick some ass.

Ventura played "sexual tyrannosaurus" Blaine "I ain't got time to bleed" Cooper in PREDATOR. As MN gov, he refused to return a Confederate flag to VA, saying "Why? I mean, we won".
For you youngsters out there just finding out about him, Jesse Ventura is not "some kind of lake wizard" but was at one time the governor of Minnesota and before that a professional wrestler

The Underground series reminds me of the sort of syndicated TV that no one makes anymore.
Each book is a standalone story but in the same universe and with ties and connections to a bigger picture.
It's classic thriller fun with heroes we need today.

It's been a crappy week, friends, but our cover designer has sent us the final approved cover to The Bartender: Whiskey Warfare.
Still got a ways to go before the manuscript is ready for prime time, but Brodie is gonna be kicking ass all over the place soon.
Bless her.
