Read THE MARK--for free!!!
Right as I’m about to die, I realize all the myths are fake. There’s no white light at the end of the tunnel. My life isn’t flashing before my eyes. All I can think about is how much I want to live.
I moved to New York City a month ago to become the best journalist the world had ever seen. To find the greatest stories never told. And now here I am–Henry Parker, twenty four years old and weary beyond rational thought, a bullet one trigger pull from ending my life.
I can’t run. Running is all Amanda and I have done for the past seventy two hours. And I’m tired. Tired of knowing the truth and not being able to tell it.
Five minutes ago I thought I had the story all figured out. I knew that both of these men–one an FBI agent, the other an assassin–wanted me dead, but for very different reasons.
If I die tonight–more people will die tomorrow.
"Parker is a captivating and complex protagonist." --Publishers Weekly

Hello! This is fantastic! I've posted a blog and the widget on my blog at:
http://nomoregrumpybookseller.blogspot.com/
I'll also be reviewing The Stolen this weekend at Bookbitch.com!
Thanks Becky, I appreciate it!
The response so far has been fantastic, and hopefully we can get even more readers to join in. Still 13 days left!
Well I just came across this and I intend to, as soon as I finish alerting to, this, the more important of the responses (kidding) you've thus far received.
Here's the self serving part....I am well into writing my first novel (yea yea, move along, nothin to see here)and have been lurking around writers websites more then is healthy probably for the past year. I read 5 plus books per week and don't have a clue where I get the time. Your Parker fellow is indeed one of the better protagonists I've encountered in fiction.
Thanks for the chance to read along on line. Maybe I can secret away some downtime on the job if you know what I mean.
I am enjoying Stolen very much.
Regards,
Chris Lenegar

Hey, Jason. I'm doing a post on my blog that consolidates all my posts from the past 9 months pointing to free ebooks, stories, and writing. here it is waaaay past 8/5, and your widget still allows people to read The Man in Black for FREE.
I don't want to take income away from you, so please let me know (preferably via mikecane02 -at- yahoo.com) if I should NOT include that link. Thanks.
Ooops. Sorry, I meant read "The Mark."
Duh.
Since I didn't get an OK from you, I didn't include the link.
Easily I agree but I dream the collection should secure more info then it has.
