    Hi Bob,

    Thank you for following my novels (LAKE CHARLES, THE BLUE CHEER) and my reading list. My new crime novel, ASK THE DICE, has been published by Crossroad Press. ASK THE DICE has earned sixteen 4/5-star ratings on Goodreads, and is priced at $3.99. Readers have written they like ASK THE DICE’s original voice and unusual plot twists.

    Please consider downloading ASK THE DICE to enjoy on your favorite e-reader. If you prefer to read from traditional books, the paper version will be available shortly. Please let me know, and I’ll get in touch when it is. Thank you for your continued interest in my work.

    Best regards,

    Ed Lynskey

    ASK THE DICE synopsis:

    Over the past two decades, Tommy Mack Zane has faithfully worked as a contract killer for Watson Ogg, the Washington, D.C. crime boss. Now middle age creeping up finds Tommy Mack edgy, jaded, and weary of his grisly trade. As he contemplates retirement, he is framed for the murder of Mr. Ogg’s niece. Desperate, Tommy Mack enlists the aid of his friends, the mercurial D. Noble and burly Esquire to do battle with Mr. Ogg and his mercenary “dark suits.” A new, better life filled with his passions for poetry and jazz drives Tommy Mack to the slambang climax where a few dark secrets about his past are unearthed.

    Hi, I was wondering if you could tell me what They Call Me AWOL is about? I've been searching on the net, and I can't find what the story line is - would you mind sharing?
    Thanks. : )

    Hi. I joined this site in late 2009 but got busy and forgot all about it. Now I'm trying to catch up my list of all of the books I've read. If you like Christian books, I wrote two in 2010. If you want to check them out, they are, "From Zero to Christian in Just 35 Years" and "Missing Andy: The Journey From Grief to Joy." See you around!

    Hi, Bob. I am the author of The Sandal Maker. A new historical novel that will take you on a fascinating journey of how the gospel came to be. You can read the first chapter by going to the link below (copy and paste). Let me know what you think

    http://www.scribd.com/doc/19473527/The-Sandal-Maker-Chapter-1

    From the Publisher
    A. Michaelson's new novel, The Sandal Maker, takes the reader on a fascinating journey back to the year 70 A.D. in worn torn Palestine. The author creatively weaves two stories together, one in the present, the other in the past. Heartwarming, enlightening and tragic, The Sandal Maker paints a portrait of one man's life and his involvement in how the gospel came to be.

    I am not sure if we know you, my husband is the director of Fort Myers Rescue Mission. It is just refreshing to see so many Christian books online. Vivian

    Thanks, Bob. Mark heads up the gift book division and would just pass my project on anyway. No worries, though, I imagine my literary agent will pitch Joey directly! I just took a peek at your website, your new release looks really interesting! I have an Internet radio talk show and sometimes feature authors. Would you be interested in being a guest? I've had others who've published with Howard Books, I hear good things about them.

    Well, back to work. I'm doing a book doctoring project on another author's history fiction manuscript set during WWII. It is fascinating!

    Be good,

    Amy

    That's funny, I never finished "The Agony and the Ecstasy" either... I've restarted many times!

    Hey Bob, thanks for the friendship request! It's funny you should mention Joey Paul - I was just talking about him this morning. I didn't work with him on my Integrity book. I worked with a guy named Mark Gilroy, who used to be my agent. I'm coauthoring a Christian living book with a music celebrity and would like to pitch it to Joey. What's the best way to approach him?

    I see you're new here on Shelfari - I hope you enjoy it!
