I love life, movies, tv, family and of course books. There are so many books out there, I wish I could read them all but I can't so I will omit the pointless ones about Sarah Palin and other bad ones. I believe that around 90% of movies are based on a book or some short story or poem. Its really hard for me to motivate myself to read, but I... more »

    Dear Joe: I am an author from Massachusetts. My debut novel HUNTING THE KING was published in April. If you enjoy reading a good thriller like DA VINCI CODE, you might like HUNTING. The novel revolves around a charismatic young woman named Molly O’Dwyer. Molly was five years old when she witnessed her mother die in a fire. She never knew her father. After her mother’s death, she was raised on the campus of a Jesuit college. Now an archaeologist, she has been recruited to participate on a dig in war torn Iraq. As a scientist she is compelled to discover whatever or whoever is buried under the sands of ancient Babylon. As an observant Catholic, she is scared that whatever she finds will have devastating consequences for her faith. There is a wonderful YouTube book trailer well worth watching if you have the chance.
