Good day, Zealots!



Today's post is just a very basic quick note regarding Steven Savile and his novel set for release later this year, SILVER. If you enjoy his work and are looking forward to his newest labor of dark thrills, then show your support on Facebook by going to the SILVER-by-Steven-Savile Fan page and "Fan-up"! Join in discussions, put up a review when released and waste time on all things SILVER. Don't forget, if you haven't done this for the Variance Fan Page, it's not too late!

Would you like to see more of this on our other titles? Send me a note and let me know (show your support for your favorite Variance novel!). I'd love to let you clear your lungs - and I'm sure our authors would appreciate the support from their fans. If you're not signed up for Facebook... what's stopping you?

Joseph Flynn On The Radio

Hey everyone!



To get an idea of what Joseph Flynn is all about, you can listen to him talk with Jay Caldwell from WJON - St. Cloud Radio. It's only a minute and a half long clip, but it will give you a glimpse into the mind that created great thrillers like The Next President, Digger, and The President's Henchman! To listen, just follow the link for Henchman back to it's page and it's below the book description. Enjoy!

Are you a fan of Flynn? If you would like to hear Joe on your local radio station, send me an email or comment on this post and let me know what station you listen to so we can get him on. Let's show this great nation of ours what a Flynn fan is made of!

Talk to you all soon!

New Author Announcement and Joseph Flynn Update

Good day everyone!



I'd like to introduce Jeffrey Stephens, our newest addition. Jeff brought with him TARGETS OF DECEPTION (previously titled The Portofino Deception), which received critical acclaim from authors like Vince Flynn, Robert K. Tanenbaum, and Steve Alten. A terrorist tale of not knowing who you can trust, TARGETS OF DECEPTION is a fast-paced thriller that moves from one suspenseful action scene to the next in a contemporary story of the real and present perils of the modern world. Unfortunately, when it was first released it did not receive all of the attention it deserved from it's original publisher, so with a little TLC we hope this will become the series it deserves to be! In the near future we will post some sample chapters on the site, so keep your eyes open for the opportunity on the newly improved title from Stephens.

In blog news, Joseph Flynn has started a blog (which you may have seen posted to the right in the 'Author Blogs/Newsletter' section), Hip Pocket Thoughts, to what I can only describe as wow! It's a definite must-see for those of you who enjoy the author's work (including his newest The President's Henchman)... and a great way to get introduced to him if you aren't familiar with him. I've enjoyed his no-pulling-punches approach - I may not always agree with what he has to say, but at least he has an opinion that can constructively be put to use to help this great American nation which is going through some rough spots. For more info on Joseph Flynn than our sites can offer, head over to his site.

Have a topic for discussion? Looking for something in particular from one of our authors? Drop me a note and maybe you'll see it come up in discussion in future blog postings! Till then, take care.

Social Networking and Other Updates!

Hello VZ's!

Do any of you inhabit the lovely pages of Goodreads.com? Well, if you do, we just made a Variance Goodreads profile and would love for you to add us to your friends! It's still a "work in progress", but isn't everything? =)>

Also, for those of you who are new, please send us a friend invite on Myspace.com. I've done some changes to our profile page and would love for you to check it out!

Lastly (in the social networking world), our Facebook Fan Page continues to grow with fans! If you're not a fan, be sure to check it out and sign up. And don't be afraid to leave a comment or ask to start a discussion in any of these locations! We'd love to hear from you!

In author news, Jeremy Robinson's Kronos is on the move at Amazon - it's been hovering around 1000. Congrats to Jeremy! This is due, in part, with the help of Steve Alten's Newsletter sent out this month with a spot on Kronos. Way to help another author out, Steve (no one can say that he's not a stand up guy!). If Steve recommends it, you know the book is a hot ticket in the industry. Check out both Kronos and MEG: Hell's Aquarium for samples.

If you are an AJ Tata fan, and receive the Harvard Kennedy School magazine, keep your eyes focused on the Alumni Books section for a Sudden Threat book spot!

Lastly (lastly), for those of you who are a part of books sites like Goodreads.com, Amazon.com, bn.com, etc, be sure to add our books to your lists (if you liked them and would recommend them to anyone) and review them if you feel inclined to do so. I usually look through these sites to see if anything new has been added, and would truly like to hear what each of our fans think of our novels.

Thanks everyone! I look forward to seeing you around the web!
