Blog postFor the past year, I’ve been working with a group of 120 bestselling authors to create a new platform for book discovery called BingeBooks (tagline: “Find your next great read”). It launched not long ago, so I wanted to fill you in about how it works and why it fills a gap in the marketplace.
If you head over to BingeBooks and register (for free), you’ll be able to do quite a few cool things:

Blog postPost by Jack Warner TechWarn While anyone who conducts any kind of digital activity is at risk of a security breach or cyber attack, journalists are especially vulnerable to surveillance and hacking by malign actors.

Blog postDon’t you just love audiobooks? There’s nothing like them to take the tedium out of commuting, long walks or exercising at the gym. So I’m jazzed to tell you about the new audio release of my five-star high-tech thriller, Catch and Kill, narrated by baritone-voiced Tom Taverna.
