I really enjoy reading, but don't have a lot of time for it. The books I typically love are fast reads (Janet Evanovich), hilarious (Caprice Crane), or so good you can't put them down (John Grisham, Stephen King). I mostly read during my lunch hour and sometimes while I eat dinner, so the book has to be good or I lose interest.

    More exciting news at the Suspense & Thrillers Group…as you might already know that Keith Katsikas, author of “2060: The Newton Prophecies” will be leading a discussion on his book. We don’t have a date set up yet, but will in a couple of weeks.

    In the meantime, Amanda Stevens, author of THE DOLLMAKER, has also agreed to lead the discussion for May’s Group Read, which is THE DOLLMAKER. I’m really excited as this is something new and might become a new trend with our group discussions. If you’ve already read the book, come join us. If not, see if you can grab a copy. There’s still time as the discussion won’t begin until the first week of May.

    Dear Yasmees: I think I have a fast read for you. My debut novel, HUNTING THE KING, is coming out in April. Here are the details (written rapidly):

    HUNTING THE KING is a fast-paced page-turner that follows archaeologist Molly O’Dwyer into war torn Iraq in search of the remains of Jesus and his daughter. 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.”

    To get a good sense of the thrill ride, watch the heart-pounding book trailer on YouTube or on my web site at www.peterclenott.com.

    While the novel won’t be available until April, you can find it on Amazon.com or on several other web sites. I hope you’ll take a look and give me your thoughts. I truly appreciate every response I get. Thanks.

    Peter

    Hey, thanks for letting me know about Phantoms. I always wondered if I missed out by not watching it. I think I would rather read the book again.

    Had to delete my old account and open a new one. Lost my reviews, shelf and friends. Guess what I'll be doing for the Christmas holidays. :)
