It happened again

For once, let’s not bury the lede: 

Last week I had my second non-heart attack. 

It was a minor one. I treated it myself with nitro and aspirin, which drove down my blood pressure quickly and effectively, and I went to bed expecting to wake up the next morning. Which I obviously did. 

(For those who missed it, the first was more serious and it happened last August http://harryjconnolly.com/i-am-rushe

Harry Connolly, A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark

“The look Evelyn gave to Marley was remarkably similar to her cat’s: the casual disinterest of a predator with a full belly.”
Harry Connolly, A Key, an Egg, an Unfortunate Remark

“the cook’s art is wasted if it is not consumed. Eating is not destruction; it is culmination.”

I know what you mean its kinda hit or miss with Reacher. I do enjoy the Mitch Rapp series though. Hes pretty much a more badass Jack Bauer.

Geli I've discovered your books only two weeks ago and wanted to say that it's sad that they were cancelled. Especially as I got them recommended today by another friend.
I hope you'll publish many other books soon. :)

Hey Ray's lost forced Sanderson to write the next Kel, Moiraine fight so... You know I'd love to see Ray slice up some balefire but it was an interesting read.

I'm glad you liked them. And it would be a helluva lot of fun to see Annalise take part, although that would be a bit bloodier than the Cage Matches usually get.


Darkcain11 Loved the suvudu cage match stories dude wish Ray had gone to the finals. Who knows Annilise might be called up next year.

Well, I have self-published a fourth book, a prequel, as an ebook. I have more details on my site: http://www.harryjconnolly.com

Sorry for the cancellation.

Harry Connolly Quick note for everyone: Del Rey is doing a special promotion for my third book. The ebook of Child of Fire (book 1) has been priced at 99 cents for a short while, and the ebook of Game of Cages had two dollars knocked off the price.

If you haven't read them, now is the time to give them a try.
