Here's a preview -<br /><br />Matt Cahill was an ordinary man leading a simple life until a shocking accident changed everything. Now he can see a nightmarish netherworld that exists within our own. Now he's on a dangerous quest for the answers to who he is and what he has become...and engaged in an epic battle to save us, and his soul, from the clutches of pure evil.<br /><br />When Matt wanders into a struggling Nevada tourist trap recreation of an "old west" town, he's unaware that he’s being trailed by a Special Ops team of professional mercenaries hired by a University desperate to unlock the secret behind his resurrection...and that he's put everyone around him in dire jeopardy. The mercenaries have no intention of letting Matt escape...or letting any witnesses survive. Matt finds himself in a deadly bind. Somehow he must rally the peaceful citizens into defending themselves against the sadistic, well-armed mercenaries… or sacrifice himself to save them from certain death.<br /></span>Joel Goldmanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13165253090797029966noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6246456408209832613.post-20753724143772212592011-11-29T11:06:00.000-08:002011-11-29T11:22:34.408-08:00Audio Books!<span style="font-size:130%;">Boy, am I a dope!

Jack is a mid-50ish FBI Agent whose life is turned upside down when he develops a movement disorder that makes him shake when he should shoot. The disorder is called Tics (a lousy name for a disorder if you ask me - nothing sexy about it). As Jack observes, it's not life threatening or life shortening but it is life annoying.<br /><br />Jack and I share this movement disorder and creating his character has been a great way for me to process my own life-changing experience. I guess that's what they mean when they say "write what you know"!<br /><br />These books were originally released in 2008 and 2009 by Kensington Publishing as original paperbacks. I'm thrilled to have gotten the rights back and to have the chance to introduce Jack all over again.<br /><br />In the first book in the series, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shakedown-Jack-Davis-Thrillers-ebook/dp/B006EAMZ62/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1322433476&sr=8-3">Shakedown</a>, when Jack investigates a mass murder, a leak of crucial information and his imploding personal life throw him into the ultimate danger zone - where truth lies at the heart of betrayal.<br /><br />And, if that wasn't enough....<br /><br />In the second book, <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Jack-Davis-Thrillers-ebook/dp/B006EB76Z6/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1322433542&sr=1-2">The Dead Man</a>, participants in a study of the brain start to die exactly as they dreamed they would. When Jack investigates, he crosses paths with a serial killer and finds himself on both sides of the law and in the path of a murderer's terrifying rage.<br /><br />Two of the best writers in the business, Michael Connelly and Robert Crais, had this to say about the Jack Davis thrillers.<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;"><span style="font-style: italic;"></span></span>Connelly says<span style="font-style: italic;">, "Shakedown </span>is a really fine novel. Joel Goldman has got it locked and loaded and full of the blood of character and the gritty details that make up the truth. Page for page, I loved it."<br /><br />And Robert Crais raves that The Dead Man is "a masterful blend of rock-solid detective work and escalating dread...both a top-notch thriller and a heart-rending story of loss, courage and second chances. I loved it."<br /><br />Boy, after all that, how can you pass up <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Shakedown-Jack-Davis-Thrillers-ebook/dp/B006EAMZ62/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1322433476&sr=8-3">Shakedown</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Jack-Davis-Thrillers-ebook/dp/B006EB76Z6/ref=sr_1_2?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1322433542&sr=1-2">The Dead Man</a>? You can't.

People have predicted the demise of almost everything and everyone while others have forecast nirvana in one form or another. Yet, here we are, muddling through.
<br />
<br />Author <a href="http://ewanmorrison.com/">Ewan Morrison</a> offers <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2011/aug/22/are-books-dead-ewan-morrison">his take</a> on the ebook revolution which he casts as a digital apocalypse. He argues that every industry from telecommunications to music to porn that has undergone a digital transformation has suffered for it and that books are next. He predicts the end of books and authors as we know them by the next generation.
<br />
<br />I have to say his analysis is pretty glum and compelling. I just hope he ends up in the same group of prognosticators who promised us <a href="http://singularityhub.com/2011/07/19/hilarious-and-surprising-predictions-of-the-future-from-the-1960s-video/">jet packs, flying cars and death rays</a>!
<br />Holy crap! <a href="http://www.ibtimes.com/articles/109522/20110207/flying-cars-terrafugia.htm">A lot</a> of that stuff <a href="http://www.popularmechanics.com/technology/aviation/diy-flying/4217989">came true</a>! Yikes!
