Last Wednesday, author Vince Flynn passed away from cancer at the age of 47. Known for his intense, powerful, fast paced thrillers, Flynn published the best seller Term Limits in 1997 (after receiving dozens of rejection letters!). Since then, his main character has been Mitch Rapp, an undercover CIA counter-terrorism agent who will defy procedure to stop domestic and international terrorists. If you're looking for a roller coaster ride without paying to go to a theme park, check out Vince Flynn. For more information, read this article in the Los Angeles Times.
A Reading List Simply for You!
I will consult with you in person, online, or over the phone to create a personalized list of 4 - 8 author and/or book suggestions. This list can be emailed or phoned to you, usually within 2-4 weeks. Don't worry- when you're done, I can find more! If you just want some quick picks, let me know the titles (and authors, if you remember) of the last 3 books you enjoyed and I'll be happy to make a few recommendations.
