Before Thriller Guy gets to the announcement, he would
like to serve up another factoid in his series
of “Real Words and Phrases Used
By Real Special Ops Guys.” This is a public service TG provides so you thriller
writers can use snappy terminology that gives your novels that oh so important
air of authenticity.
Everyone knows that when shooting a bad guy the “double tap”
(pulling the trigger twice in rapid succession without changing your aiming
point) is the de rigueur technique
used by all the best Special Forces operators. The shots can be delivered to
center mass or the head. Once the perp is down, it’s always wise to make sure
he is permanently out of the game (how many scenes have we read where a supposedly
dead guy comes back to life and gets off another couple of shots.) To make sure
there’s no danger from a reanimated bad guy, a point-blank bullet to the
forehead is the way to go; this shot is called “moonroofing.” Tuck that one in
your lexicon and use it wisely. Aren’t you glad TG is here, always looking out
for your best interests?
OK, here’s A. Appel with his Second Incredibly Exciting
Announcement.
Thank you, TG. In my First Incredibly Exciting Announcement
I informed the world that my new novel The Test of Time, was available for purchase in hard copy fromAmazon. I have now put the book up as a Kindle. You can buy a copy here.
This new book is a good entry point to the series, in that
it’s a little different from the first five, though not different enough to put
off any of the series long-time readers. So if you’re interested in time
travel, historical novels or just a good read, give it a try. If you like it
you’ve got five more books telling the story as it has developed over the years.
If you do read it, it’s always nice to put a review up on
Amazon, unless you didn’t like it, in which case just keep your opinion to
yourself, please.
Hopefully, there won’t be any more Incredibly Exciting
Announcements because Thriller Guy has made it clear that he has grown very tired of that wordplay joke.
Thanks again to all the folks who supported the book and
continue to support the series.
