Can I get another HELL YEAH?!!! Kingdom of Rage is finally LIVE!

Thank you to all my friends that helped me turn my story into a reality. Today is one of my proudest moments, so I’m grateful for all the positive feedback I’ve received along the way. What I give you in turn is a story so thrilling and compelling that it’ll keep you thinking about it days after you’ve finished.
My $1,000 Bet
You read it right, one thousand dollars. That’s how confident I am that you’ll like my story, Kingdom of Rage. It’s roughly the amount I spent on editing, a cover, hundreds of cups of coffee, and research books. I look at it as an investment. My nearly three year’s worth of planning, outlining, writing, and editing has transformed itself into over four hundred and twenty pages of thrilling escapism. Here is a brief description of the book:
Rich Fordham, world-renowned journalist and television personality, receives an email from an informant with damaging videos of prominent Saudi Arabian dignitaries—including the king—as part of an elaborate attempt to derail the monarchy.
Rich persuades the Saudi king into granting him an exclusive interview to discuss oil prices and foreign policy—but not everyone wants him there. Almost immediately after Rich, his camera man, and their security team arrive in Riyadh, jihadists ambush their convoy. Those who survive are forced to decide between helping those who are captured and saving themselves, while still trying to overthrow the corrupt Saudi government.
A Q&A with author Josh Handrich:
Q: Why did you choose Riyadh as a setting for your story?
A:  15 of the 19 9/11 hijackers were from Saudi Arabia. This number is worked into the story several times. Of all the developed countries, Saudi Arabia comes in dead last for women’s rights. They need a fire lit under their a** if they want to be respected as a global force. Also, our country’s dependence on foreign oil is a major concern. Gas is expected to rise above four dollars. Why? Politics, speculation, and a crapload of greedy bastards.
Q: How do you set apart Kingdom from other political thrillers?
A: Often times when an author wants to tell a story about chaos, the protagonist is a CIA spy, a contract killer, or a rogue soldier. Guns, blood, and lots of bullets are used to move the story along. My protagonist, Rich Fordham, is a war correspondent who uses the power of his words, wit, and the media to win battles. This means smart writing, not just someone getting killed every other page. My stories are gritty, plausible, and human.
Q: Will the book be available in paperback?
A: Yes. Once I get the formatting right it will be available on Amazon.com and on my blog.
Here is a fascinating, insider’s look at the story:
·      Captain Lindsay Maynard, from Michigan, and husband Rob, have characters loosely based upon them and named after. I chose Lindsay because the character, a Blackhawk helicopter commander, must make difficult, split-second decisions to win a tactical fight against an unpredictable enemy. The multiple scenes are a metaphor of her battle with SMA.·      Captain John Hatridge, a former Navy pilot, gave me a candid look at what the Middle East is like. His experience allowed me to paint a picture of the Saudi culture.·      There are hidden details with special meanings. Pay close attention to names, dates, times, etc. Even the jokes only a pilot may understand.
