Here’s the link: http://mysteryreadersinc.blogspot.com...

The Big Dog speaks!
A big shout out to the kind people who have begun reviewing #AgeOfOlympus @TitanBooks on Amazon – and particularly to New York Times Best Selling author Bruce Cameron with a hit movie based on his delightful “A Dog’s Purpose”.

Amazing evening at Book Soup
I’m still basking in the warm glow of all the people who came out to support #TheAgeOfOlympus at Book Soup in West Hollywood this Thursday. I got to read from the book and talk about the characters and answer a barrage of really smart questions, including “What exactly is written on the mysterious Minoan stone” from my executive at Sony Pictures! I’ll have an answer for him soon … @TitanBooks
