Courier Now Available for Pre-Order
Courier
Kudos to one of television's best producers for writing the thriller of the year."
- Sam Donaldson, White House Reporter
"If the phrase 'a crackling good yarn' evokes an era before Twitter, Facebook, cell phones, videotape, DVD's or cable television, welcome to Terry Irving's fast-paced thriller."
- Ted Koppel, anchor for NBC Nightline,
It's 1972. The Watergate scandal has Washington on edge and Putnam, a Vietnam veteran and courier for one of the capital's leading television stations, is trying to get his life back together after his nightmarish ordeal in the war. Racing at breakneck speed through the streets of the capital, he not only intends to be the best courier in the business, he also intends to escape the demons that haunt him. But when Rick picks up film from a news crew interviewing a government worker with a hot story, his life begins to unravel as everyone involved in the story dies within hours of the interview and Rick realizes he is the next target.
Enlisting the aid of friends who have discovered a way to hack into the government's computer databases, and a beautiful young Indian Rights activist, Eva Buffalo Calf, Rick races full throttle through the streets of the nation's capital to stay ahead of his pursuers as he searches for answers. When he discovers the killings have been orchestrated by a rogue CIA agent and his team of assassins, Rick isn't surprised when his road to the truth leads directly to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue.

Announcing a new Publisher!
Well, life certainly throws curveballs. My first novel, "Courier" released on May 1, 2014. Just over a month later, my publisher, Exhibit A, was closed by its parent company. Most of last year was wasted struggling to find another publisher and doing all the wrong things to sell my book.
Finally, it's all turning around. Next week my new company, Ronin Robot Press, will release my trade paperback edition of "Courier." I'm determined to make RRP a real publisher so, along with "Warrior," the sequel to "Courier," "The Day of the Dragonking: Book One of the Last American Wizard, and "Taxi Dancer; #1 in the Pearl of the Orient Series," we will also be releasing "Gold for San Jaquinto" by Cliff Roberts, "Reckless Love" by Yvette Germano, and several more books either as Kindle Exclusive books or as both paperback and ebook form.
It's scary to venture out on your own but I'm tired of waiting on other people.
Wish me luck, folks!
