I’m getting excited! My next book, High In The Andes, the sequel to Breaking Good (the first novel in the Senor Bueño Adventure series) is through with editing. My eagle-eyed Launch Team is proofreading it now, making sure it’s ready to unleash on the unsuspecting public. To make the public less unsuspecting, I’m gonna start shouting about it all over the place. Well, at least here and on my Facebook page. Andes was a lot of fun to write (they all are), and if you’d like a hilarious verbal journey to South America, you’ve gotta check it out. To get a visual glimpse inside, click here to see Story Scenes From High In The Andes. They will take you from the Caribbean Coast, through the Andes, and down to the Amazon.

 

Whether or not you’ve read my earlier book, if you’d like to get an Advanced Reader Copy of High In The Andes for Free, you can by joining my Launch Team. All you need to do is read the book and leave an Amazon review as soon as it’s published.

Here’s a little something to whet your appetite:

This gorgeous backwater scene is about a kilometer’s worth of paddling off the Amazon. The water looks enticing, doesn’t it? Given it was hot and humid and we were swarmed by mosquitoes, Buddy and I thought so, too. Then again, it was the Amazon, a place where untold species wanted to eat us. “How’s the water?” we asked our laconic tour guide, Happy Jose. (This was a bit before the bushmaster killed him.) “Wet,” he informed us. “Yeah, but is it safe?” “Jump in and find out!” he challenged. We delayed when we heard some panicked squealing and saw a pack of capybaras (rodents the size of Rottweilers) crash out of the jungle and leap into the water. Moments later, a jaguar burst from the foliage, not thirty feet from us! Seeing his prey escaping, he jumped right in after them. When the capybaras reached the middle of the pristine pool and the piranhas struck, the jaguar wisely made a u-turn. As the capybaras disappeared and a red stain spread across the water, we were glad we waited.
