Default John Grisham!

Has anyone read John Grisham's new book The Appeal? I just bought it today and read the first few pages...can't wait to read it.

hey thanks for posting this author - I haven't seen anything of his before..
http://www.vinceflynn.com/
{click on the books for info}


seems to be along the lines of Clancy and Ludlum - espionage & special ops stuff.

I love these types of books!

Have you read any Jon Land?

I recomend Dead Simple - I read it 5 times {once a year}before passing it on to a friend.

Yes - he has a political slant and appears often on Fox - you'll find his books definately deal with the current political agenda -

I recently read Grisham's nonfiction work, The Innocent Man, and wow, that was a remarkable story. Grisham has my respect for his amazing work. Send it to me when you're done!

Christina Skye has a variety of books styles-
here's a listing of her books and plot descriptions -
http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/s/christina-skye/


Her Code Name series is about "enhanced" navy seals/special ops teams {telepathically, physically and mentally}
for mature readers - descriptive romantic encounters


Oh I really like that site - just click a letter for a list of authors with last names starting with that letter.

I love that the year the books were published is given also - easier to read the series in order


Richard "D i c k" Francis is one of my old time favs {he's an ex jockey} so many of his books are set in and about the racing scene. mystery - murder, crime

Thank you NT for this new area. You're all wonderful for setting it up.

I agree he's a top author, and although I've not read the one you mentioned AMN, or his latest book. I can't wait to read both.

I did have all his books until recently, and I'm quite jealous of that autographed copy! Is there a story behind that?

No story, Anne, was just lucky to be at a book signing and he autographed "The Partner" for me!

The one autograph I treasure is by Stephen Coonts. He wrote a travelogue book called the "Cannibal Queen." He owns a Stearman and flew a cross country trip in it and made a stop in Fallon, NV where I was living at the time. His plane was refueled by a very close friend of mine and he made mention of her in his book. She and I used to fly together all the time in her Piper Cub and my Cessna 172.

When I found out he was giving a talk in Seattle while I was there attending aerobatic judging school, I made a point of bringing that particular book (actually 2 of them, one mine and one for my dad) to the lecture. I asked him to autograph those 2 books. We had a nice chat and he was very surprised at those books for him to autograph. He said that book didn't sell very well and he was happy I enjoyed it. I told him that my dad flew that particular make and model airplane and that it was my friend (who was 70 yrs old) had refueled his plane in Fallon, NV.

The seminar was about aviation safety. It was the aftermath of the DC-10 crash in Sioux City and Captain Al Haynes was the featured speaker.

I do have stories about autographed books. I have one autographed by General Schwarzkopf.
