Release Day Trivia
April 6, 2015, a date that will live in…Well, infamy’s not quite right. Remembrance? No, still not right. Acclaim? Ha! I wish. Ummm, let’s just go with mild note. Everyone good with mild note? Okay, cool.
Let’s try this again:
April 6, 2015, a date that will live in mild note, because today is RELEASE DAY for BAI TIDE!
Bai Tide is totally the book James Bond would bring to read on a long plane ride. True story.
It’s available everywhere.
Amazon
Barnes & Noble
Kobo
iBooks
Google Play
(Oh, and don’t forget the giveaway that’s going on over at Goodreads through next week!)
Just in case you’re still on the fence about whether or not Bai Tide is the right book for you, here’s some trivia to help you make up your mind:
Bai Hsu, CIA case officer and main character of Bai Tide, first appeared in fiction in Blood Money. He was Azzam’s handler in London and first demonstrated his inimitable tough guy skills when he helped Azzam escape London with a gunshot wound through his calf.
Bai is allergic to most painkillers. Poor guy.
Bai’s favorite gun is his .22 caliber Colt A1 1911 pistol. It’s also, coincidentally, my favorite gun.
Bai speaks five languages fluently. Cantonese, Spanish, French, Italian, and Japanese. He learned a little Korean for his mission in Bai Tide, but mostly just swear words. He also speaks Pig Latin pretty well.
Bai is tall (6′ 2″) and second generation Chinese. He went to law school at Stanford and was recruited to the CIA right after graduation. His mother is absolutely appalled by his chosen career path.
Bai hotwired and destroyed an old junker when he was fifteen. It was right around then that he realized a suit-and-tie life wasn’t for him.
Bai loves James Bond movies.
I gave myself nightmares while researching the North Korean portions of this book. The North Korean section is as realistic as I could possibly make it.
Book blogger Brooke (of Txting Mr. Darcy fame) makes a cameo appearance in this book, because she won a contest! She looks great in print (and in person too, of course).
If you like James Bond movies, you’ll like this book. Don’t believe me? Read this review.
Thanks for making it all the way to the bottom of this list! If you’re still not convinced Bai Tide is the book for you, I say buy it anyway. Not just because it’s my book, but because the eBook is only $4.95. It’s the equivalent of buying a cup of coffee, and for sure my book will keep you entertained for longer than a cup of coffee. And it’s less fattening! And it won’t stain your teeth!
I don’t want to make the inevitable joke, but I kind of feel like I have to at this point. Bai Tide. ‘Bai’ it today!
