Due to overwhelming popular demand (okay, a few people have asked), I'm extending the deadline for the Sand giveaway by a few days. If you pick up a copy by midnight this Friday (EST) and send me proof, you'll receive a PDF of Sand In My Gun, a 7,000 word sample of the earliest version of what became Expiration Date, along with about 12,000 words of my Sand journal from that time. (Watch a clueless young author battle his way through his own mind!) Thanks to everyone who's picked up a copy so far and has joined the Sand brigade.
And huge thanks for spreading the word. I'm thrilled to hear how many of you are enjoying the book. I always worry that these things are amusing only to a limited audience: namely, me. It's good to know there are a bunch of us out there.

Hey,
Finished the new book this weekend and I thought it was a hoot! I kept turning pages, never knowing where you were going to take me.
I predict this will be the first book to make it to the screen.
Well done, dude!

I know this is off topic, but when is "The Blonde" going to hit the big screen?
Eric: Thanks so much. And really? You think this one has the most film potential?
Anonymous: There's no news at the moment. But I have read the script, and it's pretty fantastic. So here's hoping...
hey duane...loved Expiration Date. my name is Ron Oliver, you can check me out at IMDB.com - i'm a filmmaker with a couple of open ended deals around town. Are the rights to Expiration Date gone yet? lemme know at oliverron@mac.com if you can. Thanks! Great work. RO
I flew through the book and enjoyed the whole thing. How you are able to drive a story like a freight train I don't think I'll ever understand or be able to match in my own writing, but it's great to see that you do it so well, and produce stories that hurtle forward like Expiration date.
Sean: that's great to hear. So glad you enjoyed it. My philosophy is: if the reader puts the book down, I've failed. So I do everything I can to keep the book in the reader's hands.
I ordered the book at the Poisoned Pen mystery bookstore in Scottsdale, but they haven't received their copies yet.
