Promote Your Book Here > Likes and Comments

Since we are getting so many authors here in our group, I made a place for you all to promote your books. I see different people have placed them in different folders.

I have written only one book, Backlash: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20976262-backlash. I can at least say that I am "thrilled" to be done writing it. What a process!

In short, Backlash is a story about an epic treasure hunt. Much like an Indiana Jones movie, it is complete with bad guys, sticky situations, and some crazy plans for survival.

I like it, but then I wrote it to be exactly the type of book I'd like to read. I may not be the best critic.

The Warrior is about an ex-Special Forces operative who doesn't back up or stand down...and is ordered to do just that.

Rather than banging on about it, below are a few sample reviews from Amazon.

The book's here:http://www.amazon.com/The-Warrior-Ty-...


Reviews:

If you like Vince Flynn's Mitch Rapp books, Harlan Coben's Myron Bolitar series, David Baldacci's Will Robie series, I highly recommend The Warrior.

I read this book in 7 days including a full work week! Could not put it down at night.

'As good as Baldacci' is merited

Ty Patterson "The Warrior" is a true page-turners, so exciting and well written. I have read all the greats such as Brad Thor, Lee Child and Vince Flynn thriller series, so feel I know great thriller writer when I read one. I believe Ty Patterson is the next up and coming thriller writer. If you like Brad, Lee and Vince Flynn books your going to love this one! I highly recommend this book! Congrats Ty on hitting your first book out of the park! I cannot wait till the next one!

What a great book! It has been a long time since I have had a book keep me on the edge! I found I couldn't put it down. If you are a Jack Reacher fan then this book is for you. It's good to know there are still authors out there who appeal to the Warrior in all of us! Ty is a great author and I look forward to the sequel!!

A cracking book. I thoroughly enjoyed The Warrior. Much was made of it's genre similarities to the Reacher series and, whilst this is the case to some extent - and you could argue a case for it being a cross of Reacher and Victor the Assassin - the book more than stands on is own two feet.

Excellent: If you are a fan of Lee Child's Jack Reacher books as I am, do yourself a favor and get a copy of "The Warrior." You won't be disappointed.

Hello everyone,
My first mystery novel, Killer Rumors, is currently available. James Patterson and Dan Brown are a huge influence of my passion and work. Here is the synopsis:

Father D’Angelo and Bakeman, two devoted priests were brutally murdered while going on one of their nightly walks. Detective Frank Rinelli is called to the case- not only due to his close friendship with the priests, but with his expertise of tracking psychotic killers. Rinelli suddenly discovers these murders were based on a scandal that occurred several years ago at the same Church where the two murdered priests preached. And it doesn’t stop there. The list of people being murdered in connection with the scandal continues to grow until the killer has his ultimate vengeance- and the truth released.

Killer Rumors is currently free until the end of the month. Here is the link to download your free copy:

Thank you for taking the time viewing my novel. Enjoy Killer Rumors! :)

P.S. Thank you Ty for sending me a copy of your story. I look forward reading it. Wishing everyone the very best! :)

Yes great idea for a post.

So authors can talk about their one book or more if they have a few.

Plus can nominate one for our next group read, in our other post

And once that nomination is over there is still a place for authors to put their books.

Hi all, I am C. S. Boag and I write the Mister Rainbow series. A retro detective brought up on Ballet and gangster movies, working the streets of Sydney and beyond. Find the literary and musical references?
He's quirky and clever.
Start with "The Hood with No Hands"

Another great thread for authors - thanks guys! Here's my book - it's out April 25th, but my giveaway is starting April 1st!



Framed, hunted, betrayed...
Scott Walker is a fugitive from the quicksands of Finance, with one card to play - DeepShare, a silicon oracle coveted by billionaires, hitmen and hackers. As he fights for survival and vengeance, digging deeper into the dark heart of the global economy, one question torments him: what price will the world have to pay?

ZERO ALTERNATIVE is an action-packed conspiracy thriller that plucks at the base of human nature. When our grip on love, hope and morality starts to slide, the only future worth living is the one we choose for ourselves.

Hello all!

My book, The Accident, will be published by Avon HarperCollins on 10th April (and in the US in June as 'Before I Wake'). It's a psychological thriller about a woman who must discover why her teenaged daughter stepped in front of a bus before a deadly secret from the past catches up with them both.

Alex Marwood called it "An ominous atmosphere, a tense tale of past and present colliding, and a narrator whom no-one believes: this book is a delight."

My publishers are currently running a giveaway if anyone likes the sound of it.

Congrats Ty!!

DianeAlice - I'm always interested in getting new recommendations and finding out what books thriller fans love so it looks like this is the place to be! If you have any questions after you've read the book I'd be more than happy to answer them.

Maybe after we pick our group author read, those authors can do a Q&A for us...

Lorrea - I'd be more than happy to do that.

DianeAlice - which are your favourite psychological thrillers? I recently finished 'Apple Tree Yard' which I thought was beautifully written and so gripping. I'm currently reading a proof of Paula Daly's new book 'Keep Your Friends Close'. I loved her last one, 'Just What Kind of Mother Are You?'. It was one of my favourite reads of last year.

Great, looks like we have found another author for a Q & A, thanks C.L.

Must mention a favourite here for recommendation, last week's Q & A S J Bolton one of the best for psychological thrillers authors.

Lorrea, great work and suggestions.

DianeAlice, I will do my best here to encourage great authors ready for you for a questions, LOL !

THE WRATH OF GOD
BY: CHRIS KELLETT (Goodreads Author)

FIRST OF THE GH12 SERIES OF NOVELS

"A well written, intelligent and absorbing thriller..."

"Like a game of chess; action and reaction move and counter move....."

This is the gripping story of a deadly hunt spanning three continents. The hunted are members of a terror cell hellbent on detonating exceptionally powerful dirty bombs in European cities. The hunters are the intelligence services of the West led by GH12.

On a windswept airbase in Pakistan Aziz, a terrorist who believes himself to be God's instrument on Earth realizes his dream of obtaining powerful dirty bombs. Unknown to him a civilian worker in the pay of GH12 photographs him there and the chase is on. The action is relentless as we track the bombs first to North Africa, then to Western Europe. Clues emerge as battle is fully joined and the body count mounts. We follow the bombs all the way to their detonation points and count down the seconds as armed teams ruthlessly hunt down the terrorists on the streets. Two great cities are in peril - can they be saved? It goes right to the wire.

"Triumph and disaster are equally possible...the difference is measured in seconds....."

"This is a taught well written, well plotted, intelligent thriller that starts at pace and quickens"

"Clever and credible....genuinely frightening...."

Hi C.L. Thanks for posting info on your new book. I love the premise. It looks like something I would really enjoy, so I signed up for the potential giveaway.

I took a look at the 2 books you are currently reading and added them to my to read list as well. Though I want to thank you for bringing 3 potentially great reads to my attention, I promise to read yours first! (-:

Hi All,
I've just launched a giveaway for two Autographed copies of my upcoming action/conspiracy thriller Zero Alternative. Please check it out!



Luca

Hello,

I just joined this group. Looks wonderful. I have a medical thriller called The Seneca Scourge published in 2012 by Whiskey Creek Press. Given the premise, it should probably come with a bottle of hand sanitizer...

Hi Carrie, Welcome to this fun group. I really like the looks of your book. I am also a physician; my subspecialty is infectious diseases so Seneca Scourge will be right up my alley!

Where in Ohio are you from? I spent a lot of time in southeast Ohio as a kid visiting my grandparents. I loved that part of the country.

Minnesota Chris

HAHA--that's why they call if fiction, Carrie! I'm looking forward to reading it.

Minnesota Chris

Thank you! :)

Great to see that someone thought to start a thriller group, and even better to see that you're welcoming authors to let you know about their books. Thanks!

My first thriller is called The Alexandria Project; a second in the same series will be out later this year. Its GR page is here: http://bit.ly/1kt98FX and you can read several sample chapters here: http://updegrove.wordpress.com/sample...

As you'll see, it's a satiric, cybersecurity thriller with strong character development, 40 reviews you can read at Amazon (4.9 average rating), and four reviews here at GoodReads (3.62 ave. rating). Hopefully there will be a few more reviews here shortly, as I've just completed a giveaway (perhaps most of the winners have already joined this group?)

When I first released the book, I often used the tagline "The only thing fictional about it is that it hasn't happened yet." Since then, though, many of the international plot developments I came up with for the book have actually happened in the real world, involving the same countries. Given that the plot deals with international espionage and a nuclear crisis, let's hope the countries in question aren't really using The Alexandria Project as their playbook.

I hope that some of you will decide to give it a read, and perhaps a review as well.

Andy

Yes welcome Andrew.

As you see from our April and May group read nominations in the "Authors " section we have over 20 books picked and to be voted for at the moment by authors themselves.

GORDIAN KNOT - A psychological/thriller that will tie your stomach up in....Well, you know where I'm going with this.

Rob Turner is a big city detective who leads a double life. On the surface he’s a cocky, high-profile and successful public servant. On the inside he’s a diseased man obsessed with dark sexual addictions. He’s already hip deep in a fierce battle of wills when he finds himself, by way of his ex-wife, thrown into a bizarre rogue investigation born from a doomed airliner’s black box. He must now run head-long into places he’s tried all too often to run from. The closer he gets to the root of this ad hoc probe, the deeper it cuts into his own plagued psyche. Before he knows it, doors he’s dared open in the past, sandwich him between doors newly entered. Now sex, murder and blackmail are attacking this detective’s already tormented soul from every direction, and time is not his friend.

Blood from a Shadow is free to download from Kindle, Nook, iTunes, Smashwords etc.

"Israeli death squads, Iranian Quds Force bombers, Turkish Mafya - the clueless and hopeless Maknazpy is selected as the perfect fall guy to lever American opinion the right way. They just didn't figure on the ghosts of Irish history that were always in his shadow."

"A delicious hocus of old school convoluted, reader-manipulating, treachery-dripping, double-dealing thrill fest shot through with just enough Irish melancholy and regret to raise it above the usual formula driven fare we are becoming all too used to"

"He aims at a diverse readership. One that demands a page-turning violent saga, and another that savors a more polished gloss. A cinematic flair in the settings and set-ups that gain vivid depiction shows Cappa's skill. It eases the labyrinthine, disruptive, often dialogue-driven and quicksilver-unpredictable story structure. Red herrings abound, and false leads. The Turkish sections become markedly intricate, so the busy plot demands patience amidst the threats and mayhem, as in the midst of rapid movements and conversations with which I sought to keep up. Similarly, its New York scenes turn as energetically as a quickly edited sequence from a film such as "The Bourne Identity."

I have a Giveaway for Black Boat Dancing, a Con Maknazpy sequel to Blood from a Shadow.

Set in New York and Lisbon, it draws on two real events: 1) a $40m cyber heist that happened in 2012
2) a cyber espionage attack on banks in Beirut (which administered govt funds from Syria and Iran.

The geographic net stretches from the old Portuguese colonies of Macau and Angola to Ukraine and Rio de Janeiro, and the cast list include Chinese Military Intelligence, Russian Mafia and a Brazilian street gang.
There are 10 signed copies in the Giveaway, and it is available in Brazil, Ireland, Portugal, the United States and the United Kingdom.

Here's a description and a link to the first book in my new series. You can also save a dollar by purchasing Corrupt Skies: Episodes I&II also on Amazon.

I'm looking for some reviews. I'm having a drawing for a $15 dollar Amazon Gift card to one lucky reviewer at the end of April. Just make sure to please post your reviews to Goodreads and Amazon. Thanks! Alex.

Hi! I've written the Embryo series (3 so far)...and the first is on sale for $0.99! The Kindle Book Review says of Embryo: "I was blown away. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THIS BOOK!!' http://tinyurl.com/6wbv6r5 #MedicalThriller #Thrillers #Cops

I'm excited to announce the recent publication of my first two novels in "The Blackwell Files" mystery/thriller series, which chronicles the exploits of Alton Blackwell, ex-Army captain and telecommunications expert, and Mallory Wilson, former Army lieutenant and FBI Agent. Together they risk their lives tackling intractable mysteries, but can they solve the mystery of their feelings for each other?

NEFARIOUS, the first novel, is a fast-paced foray charting the investigation of an ex-Army captain and a sharp-as-nails FBI agent into a covert project. Nefarious received the following recommendation from Kirkus Indie Reviews: "A heady thriller that gathers force with the understated menace of a tidal wave, then smashes home...Readers will be absorbed by Freeman's never-flashy expertise...Superb touches of eeriness creep in."

In RUTHLESS, the second book, Alton and Mallory strive to identify the culprit behind a series of perplexing homicides, racing to unravel the mystery in time to avoid becoming the killer’s next victims. But will their growing relationship survive the presence of the beautiful Chelsea Mancini, who seems to lie in the center of the chaos?

Hi,
My name is Joe and I am a self published author.

Written for You is my latest work and first for truly just a adult audience. It is a dark comedic play, but at is core is a building mystery that most readers have really enjoyed.
I hope you can get a chance to check it out, maybe have a laugh and see if you can guess the ending.
Bob is an accountant who works in a publishing company, for some reason he writes a book and when he tries to get people at work to read, things go down hill. The mystery and story came pretty easily, I think in large part due to me obsessing over trying to be funny. I never ever want to try to be funny again, not even a knock knock or fart joke, and I tip my hat to those can be humorous on a daily basis.
I think I might write about politics next there nothing funny about that.

No Hard Feelings

The first installment of DEAD IN BED is available for free on Amazon all day April 12th.

* * *

You've never, ever read a novel like this.

Bailey Simms' acclaimed debut novel is partly a suspense thriller about a disease that makes anyone infected hopelessly crave sex, partly a page-turning mystery, and partly a neo-western adventure. If you can handle a smart, controversial protagonist who's willing to do anything—no matter how difficult or morally questionable—in order to survive, the series will pull you in with the force of a desperate addiction.

Dead in Bed follows Ashley, a vivacious young woman who's stuck in an unsatisfying marriage and a dead-end job. But when a sexually-transmitted plague breaks out in her small town, slowly transforming everyone infected into crazed sex-fiends, everything about her life changes.

As emotionally incisive as it is shockingly sexy, as heartbreaking as it is hilarious, Bailey Simms' tour-de-force series is as hard to put down as books by writers twice her age.

Facing quarantine, National Guard barricades, the onset of winter, and a rapidly-spreading plague, Ashley, her family, her friends, and everyone else in her small Colorado town find their true feelings for one another surfacing—both amorously and violently.

When everyone in Ashley's life begins taking comfort in one another's arms, no one really knows who's infected with the plague and who's not. And because the disease perpetuates itself as an aphrodisiac, sex, the very thing that offers comfort, only contributes to spreading the plague.

In a crumbling world with little to lose, however, Ashley begins to discover a desire to live she didn't know she possessed and opportunities she's never had. Her newly-acquired agency may come at a price, however, when Ashley ultimately must choose between her own survival and the people she loves.

Nobody in the Woodlawn neighborhood of Birmingham, Alabama knew who Chuck Brandt really was. All they knew was that he rented apartments to immigrants. What they didn’t know was that he was a recruiter of spies, that he was a legendary ex-assassin trying to start over and live honestly. His employer, a top secret government intelligence agency knew the truth. They should have known better than to target him. They should have left him alone.

Making amends for his horrible past...betrayed by his employer...torn from the woman he loves...spy recruiter Chuck Brandt is down, but not out. Now he will have to recruit the only man alive that can help him - the man he used to be.

The Recruiter http://www.amazon.com/dp/B007DQ4B6I
