I try to read here and there, but it's been hard to find time lately. Audiobooks are my favorite. It's amazing how much "reading" you can get done daily as you drive. The hardest ones to listen to are the Stephanie Plum series because I'm always laughing so hard at her silly antics. That, or I'm a serious shade of red, blushing at her...more »

    Hello ashelton!
    Please accept my gesture of friendship. =)

    I have spent some time reviewing your bookshelf and I am sending you this message because you seem to have very similar taste to mine and I believe this may seriously interest you. I hope it does.

    2060: THE NEWTON PROPHECIES is a lightening-fast thriller, following Harvard Divinity professor and bestselling author, Michael DiBianco across three countries in a life-and-death struggle to thwart a plot to destroy Christianity, only to discover a secret about his past that will ultimately spawn the apocalypse.

    Would you be interested in joining a group reading/review of the above mentioned novel?

    So far we have over 10 people excited to start this event, but I know we can get a lot more and there is still time to join. This should prove to be really fun.
    J. Kaye, the administrator of the Suspense & Thriller group has just asked me if I would lead the event. She tells me it will be the first time an author has ever lead their own advance reading group. She thinks it will prove to be really interesting. I agree. This could be very interesting indeed!

    Every book that is ordered for this event will be signed by the author and I am supplying these copies to members of this group at 50% off MSRP. I hope you will come join us. We'd love to have you! =)

    To learn more and to join please visit the Suspense & Thriller group: http://www.shelfari.com/groups/11778/about

    Thank you!

    If you enjoyed reading the work of Dan brown, I think you might be interested to learn about my debut novel, HUNTING THE KING, coming out in April. There is a wonderful book trailer on YouTube under the novel's title that you can watch. It will draw you in. Here are the details of the book.
    According to MySpace, you are either an archaeologist or a devotee of archaeology. If so, you should check out my new novel, HUNTING THE KING coming out in April. HUNTING is a fast-paced page-turner that follows archaeologist Molly O’Dwyer into war torn Iraq in search of the remains of Jesus. ForeWord Magazine says: “Fans of intellectual thrillers and historical fiction will find a worthy new voice in Clenott. His best invention may be Molly O’Dwyer, a genuinely likeable heroine who more than holds her own in a man’s world. An ambitious scientist, she is also an observant Catholic whose heart and mind don’t always agree. Given such an auspicious start, the sequel can’t come too soon.” While it isn’t out until April, you can find it on Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, and Kunati Books. Thanks. Peter.
