In spite of the evidence, her family refuses to admit she's in danger. And without routine dialysis, Beth won't survive. Five hundred miles south, the case attracts the attention of spy trackers at the CIA. Can Clint find Beth before her kidneys fail or her abductors unload a bullet in his head? An espionage and suspense thriller with a techno bent, 3 LIES is set along the Massachusetts coast. Interview with the Author: Q: What does Helen Hanson bring to the thriller genre? HH: Heart-skipping pace, life-critical stakes, and broody, looming danger wrapped in a twenty-first century skin. We live in a time when technology surrounds us. The kid down the street has instant access to information unfathomable a century ago. Consequently crime had gone digital, online, and victims rarely see what hit them. Because of my background, I present the technology employed by my characters in a fluent way to readers. They say I write about techno topics in a way that makes them enjoyable. I don't burden the prose with jargon. Most readers want to know what kind of gun is fired, not how to field strip it. Q: Tell us about your characters. HH: My characters are unique beings, each requiring a different spark to light the fire. I explore their sparks. I create believable characters with realistic dialogue engaged in page-flipping action. I like to watch ordinary people find the extraordinary in themselves when facing adversity. No one is surprised when Jason Bourne takes out a detachment of Marines, but we can't say that about waitress Maggie Fender. My protagonists don't possess the Special Forces skills of a super spy. They stumble into dangerous situations and use technology to advance their position even if it isn't strictly legal. The stakes have to be worthy of a fight. Plus, they're witty people who possess veins of humor. As in life, it punctuates disaster. Q: Where do your thrillers take place? HH: The action in my thrillers takes place in a variety of locations around the globe. So far, we've landed in: Russia, Boston, San Francisco, Pakistan, Washington D.C., Santa Cruz, Venezuela, Half Moon Bay, and Mongolia. Since the characters across my novels exist in the same story world, they often appear in other works, though the current titles are not a single series. Since the characters across my novels exist in the same story world, they often appear in other works, though the current titles are not a single series. Q: Do you write your thrillers in series? HH: At the request of my readers, I am. The sequel to 3 LIES is already written, with a third volume on deck. After that, I'll expand from DARK POOL and OCEAN OF FEAR because those characters are bound to find new adventures. With an FBI agent, a hacker, and a robotics expert in the lineup, they offer continuous fodder for action and suspense.

Download or read book It s Only a Game written by Terry Bradshaw and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2001-08-01 with total page 266 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the absolutely guaranteed 100% mostly true story of Terry Bradshaw: the man who gained sports immortality as the first quarterback to win four Super Bowls -- and the man who later became America's most popular sports broadcaster. IT'S ONLY A GAME "I had a real job once," begins a memoir as honest, unexpected, and downright hysterical as Bradshaw himself. From his humble beginnings in Shreveport, Louisiana, to his success as the centerpiece of the highest-rated football studio show in television history, Terry has always understood the importance of hard work. A veritable jack-of-all-trades, he has probably held more jobs than any other football Hall of Famer ever: pipeline worker, youth minister, professional singer, actor, television and radio talk show host, and now one of the nation's most popular speakers. But let's not forget one of the reasons why so many people know and love Terry Bradshaw: he won four Super Bowls! In It's Only A Game, Terry brings the reader right into the huddle and describes the game from the bottom of a two-ton pile to the top of the sports world. You'll sit right on the fifty-yard line and watch as Terry earns the title world's greatest benchwarmer. And you'll also hear about the single greatest play in pro football -- the Immaculate Reception -- as he never saw it. It's Only A Game is much more than a collection of Terry Bradshaw's favorite and funniest stories, it is the personal account of a great man's search for life before and after football...as only Terry could tell it.
