The Capital Game - Hits New York Times Best Seller List
The Capitol Game just hit the New York Times bestseller list for the second week in a row, and I want to thank all of you for buying and reading it. And special thanks if you've recommended my book to your family and friends, or say, perhaps, to people wandering past you in the local mall, or even to the police officer who just pulled you over and is giving you a ticket. I know of one enthusiastic reader who actually put a bumper sticker on her car saying "Haig for the Pulitzer Prize" ... Lisa, my wife, has such a wacky sense of humor. Anyway, the reviews of Capitol Game have been almost uniformally great, excepting one review house that went bankrupt last year, and failed to take the hint and stay that way. So if you've already read Capitol Game, I hope you enjoyed it as much as I enjoyed writing it. And if not, I advise you to get it now, before the onset of Global Warming.
New Books with Vince Flynn
On another front, I recently signed a contract with Vince Flynn to co-write two thrillers. Vince, if you don't already know, is one of the top thriller writers on the planet--with good reason--and also a great guy and a great American patriot. For instance, the first time I met Vince it was a meeting we squeezed in before he and his wonderful wife had to rush off to attend a charity event for Wounded Warriors. Needless to say, he made a great first impression. I have been an avid reader and admirer of his series about Mitch Rapp from the beginning, and could not be more pleased by this chance to work with Vince. The idea is to launch a new series and I'm confident that it's going to be wonderful and gripping. If you haven't already read Vince books, I highly recommend them

The Hunted
A lot of you have written to say you enjoyed The Hunted, a story inspired by the true tale of my friend, Alex Konanykhin. And some have asked how you can get Alex's autobiographical book to see how much of The Hunted hews to fact, and how much is the product of a particularly perverse imagination: try http://defiancethebook.com and you can download an electronic version. It's a great book about a wonderful couple that overcame stupefying obstacles through grit, determination, and love. The real story is even more harrowing than the one I wrote. I highly recommend it.
Sean Drummond
Others have written that they miss Sean Drummond and wish I'd quit this stand-alone nonsense and get back to writing about his adventures. To those who feel that way, I very much appreciate your affection for those books and his character. I'm not done with Sean Drummond, but my publisher really likes the stand-alones and is encouraging me to do more. Translation; Sean was not selling all that well, and a stand-alone breakthrough is my only hope of putting the kids through college.
Thank You for visiting,
Brian
