If you check my page here at AI you'll see them and the buy links, or you can visit my website, www.timsmithauthor.com for purchase info and excerpts. Both are available on Kindle, too.<br /><br />Tim SmithTim Smithhttp://www.timsmithauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-25866701551249522872010-09-24T15:07:05.980-04:002010-09-24T15:07:05.980-04:00Hi Tim and congratulations on the books.

The books do not need to be read in order to be enjoyed.<br /><br />As for movies, I could see George Clooney because Nick Seven has a sarcastic cynical outlook and sense of humor. Of course I could also picture Mel Gibson, if he ever gets back on speaking terms with Hollywood.<br /><br />Tim SmithTim Smithhttp://www.timsmithauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-81277777000953847562010-09-23T12:25:51.792-04:002010-09-23T12:25:51.792-04:00I love political thrillers.

If your books were ever made into movies, what actor would you like to play Nick?<br /><br />I'll be checking your books out. Do they need to be read in order?CJnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-85279586041168370022010-09-20T19:27:37.845-04:002010-09-20T19:27:37.845-04:00A former CIA Agent writing about the CIA.

It'...Thanks for the great Author Island welcome! It's always a plesure to be here. To answer the questions thus far, the inspiration for Nick Seven came from several places, not the least being myself. He's my alter ego, since he gets to do all the things I can't. I designed him as part Phillip Marlowe and part Peter Gunn with a dash of Dirty Harry thrown in.<br /><br />Estella, I do have another Nick adventure in the works, which I've worked on for the past three years. When I find a decent print publisher, it will be out there. My current publishing arrangement is for e-books, and this book is way too long for that format.<br /><br />And Susan, the closest I've found to a perfect Pina Colada is at a place in Key Largo called Snook's Bayside. They have a bartender there with a magic recipe. By the way, I was so enamored of Snook's that I used it as the model for the club Nick Seven owns in all the stories. <br /><br />Tim SmithTim Smithhttp://www.timsmithauthor.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6419468362679974666.post-69546611193325266532010-09-20T16:16:52.987-04:002010-09-20T16:16:52.987-04:00I really enjoy character interviews!

I just found out about you now but the books sure do sound like my style of reading. I wish you luck and it would really be nice if some of the luck would come my way by me winning this contest. But either case..my good luck wishes goes out to you. I also need to know one thing..if you ever find that PERFECT pina colada..let me know.

Where did the inspiration for Nick come from and how much research did you have to do for your books?<br /><br />I love the fact that the prizes have gone down on your series, when everything thing else seems to be skyrocketing. This series would make a great Christmas gift for my dad, he's a big action/adventure fan. And Nick seems like he would appeal to men and women alike.AuthorIsland.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17151952081726758554noreply@blogger.com
