On this day in 1989: an excerpt from Of Our Own Device
"It turned out the Station had reached an agreement with the author of the two letters dropped in Jack’s car and as a result two ops had been scheduled—one was a cash drop-off and the other a collection.

Thanks for the invite. Don't count on me for book reviews. I'm not sure you would want me to review a book about a CIA agent. My dad was a deputy director so I may be hyper-critical.
How interesting! I'm sure you (and your dad) would say that it's a complete and fabricated fiction -- which is what the plot is. The background events are 100% accurate though-- ok, 99% then ;) -- as I have extracted them from various memoirs and news archives.
But hey, the epigraph must say something about the story -- "Love is a striking example of how little reality means to us" (Marcel Proust). It's just so happened that the MC is a cia officer, rather than a banker or a miner -- with all the implications there off !! ;)
Thanks for accepting my invite! And if you will find the time to read my book sometime, I'll be thrilled if you would find some more time to drop me a couple of lines via email with your thoughts :) -- what? me, pushy?? Never! :D
PS: you can find available sample chapters from amazon, G+ and a number of other distributors.
