Happy New Year! It’s going to be a busy year for book launches.

We are one month away from the February 1 launch of the hardcover, paperback, and e-book editions of THE URSULINA. This is the prequel to my Edgar Award finalist and New York Times bestseller THE DEEP, DEEP SNOW — hmm, or is it a follow-up novel? Or is it both? All I will tell you is that these two books fit together hand-in-glove, and they may well be my two personal favorites of everything I’ve written.

So I hope you’ll pre-order your copy! Why is pre-ordering important? Lots of early orders send a signal to booksellers and reviewers that this book is not to be missed! It’s also the best way for books to hit the bestseller list in that first crucial week. So don’t wait for release day…get your pre-order in at your favorite local bookstore or online!

Meanwhile, there’s lots more ahead in 2022. I’m in the homestretch of my third Jason Bourne novel — THE BOURNE SACRIFICE — which will be released this summer. Then in the fall, get ready for an exciting new stand-alone I REMEMBER YOU and the long-awaited new Jonathan Stride novel THE ZERO NIGHT.

Kirkus Reviews is out today with their list of the Best Mysteries and Thrillers of 2021. Thirteen books selected out of hundreds and hundreds published…and there’s my thriller INFINITE on the list.

Nice company to be keeping. The list includes amazing books by authors like Stephen King, Karin Slaughter, S.A. Cosby, Brad Parks, and Colson Whitehead, among others. (Click here to see the whole list.)

Adding to the thrill for me: This is the second year in a row I’ve made the Kirkus list of best thrillers. Last year my first Jason Bourne novel THE BOURNE EVOLUTION was on the roster. So two wildly different books in two years. It’s a hell of an honor.

 

Two big deals this month…THIEF RIVER FALLS and INFINITE are both Kindle Monthly Deals throughout October. Get them at a great price between now and Halloween.

So I got a package in the mail from Random House yesterday. It turned out to be an author’s copy of the large print edition of my new Jason Bourne novel, THE BOURNE TREACHERY.

It’s great to see that large print editions are still around. They’re a little more rare these days, because many people who want larger font sizes have turned to e-books. But a lot of readers still love to have that physical book in their hands — and that’s great.

Of course, what really struck me was the back cover. There were two photographs side by side — mine and Robert Ludlum’s. I’ve been tackling Jason Bourne for a couple of years now, but even so, I never fail to get a little shiver up my spine when I see me and Ludlum on the same book cover. He was one of my favorite authors growing up, and Marcia can attest that the latest Ludlum novel was always on my Christmas list.

Now, all these years later, it’s an amazing thrill to be carrying on his legacy. If you’d told me when I was reading THE BOURNE IDENTITY in 1980 that I’d be writing Jason Bourne novels forty years later, I would have thought you were crazy. But here we are. Enjoy the new Bourne book!

The mythical beast goes by many names. Bigfoot. Sasquatch. Yeti.

In Black Wolf County, he’s called…the Ursulina.

But to Deputy Rebecca Colder, it’s no myth. A killer is hiding behind the legend of the monster…and people are dying.

THE URSULINA. Available now exclusively from Audible. Print and e-book editions coming on February 1.
