Thanks for the giveaway, and for friending me. :) It was my pleasure to review Brain Trust, and I figure if someone is kind enough to send me a free book, it deserves my next-book attention! Hope this will be a good year for you. Looking forward to reading others from your work (though it'll be a couple months before I'm "allowed" to buy more books).

A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Jerry. It may interest you that my book Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom in now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. This ins NOT a thriller, though you might be well amused. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)
