I’m delighted to provide this brief interim newsletter revealing the cover and a bit about the plot of the newest Lynn Dayton thriller.

Winner’s Curse: A Lynn Dayton Thriller is due out later this summer. Winner’s Curse is a story about conspiracies to get control of a valuable oilfield technology and to sabotage natural gas plants, and the woman who must discover and stop them.

The cover of Winner’s Curse contrasts the bitter cold of winter with protagonist Lynn Dayton atop a stylized liquefied natural gas tanker bringing heat and energy to the world.

Next special newsletter: Look for one more special newsletter soon containing the Winner’s Curse launch announcement and launch-related events.

If you like audiobooks, look—or rather listen–for a new audiobook edition of Strike Price, Lynn Dayton Thriller #2, using Amazon’s new Virtual Voice technology. An audiobook edition of 13 Days: The Pythagoras Conspiracy using Virtual Voice is also available from Amazon.

A word about pricing: Pricing shown below is full retail. Bookstores (for print) and Amazon (for print, e-book, and audiobook) frequently offer various editions at attractive discounts.
