The day is finally here! BURIED SECRETS hits U.S. stores today, and U.K. stores on Thursday. If you’ve pre-ordered it, check your mailbox or your e-reader — it should be waiting for you!
Also . . . for one week only, the audiobook of BURIED SECRETS, read by Holter Graham, is on sale at Audible for $9.95. This price won’t last, so place your order early!
Thank you all so much for all the support and enthusiasm you’ve shown for Nick Heller’s new adventure. If you’re in the Boston area, I hope you’ll celebrate with me tonight at Brookline Booksmith, where I’ll be talking and signing, starting at 7:00 pm. Keep reading for details, and for more information about events in New York, Washington, and elsewhere on the east coast.
BURIED SECRETS has gotten some of the best reviews of my career. Booklist gave it a star and called it “a total wow of a read,” and Library Journal (also starred) said it was “a captivating summer read.” And perhaps most flattering of all, my colleague Lisa Gardner said, “You just have to know how the story ends, and yet, you don’t want to part ways with these characters.” I love the characters, too. In fact, if you want a little more information about Nick Heller, you can check out his profile here.
If you’ve already bought your copy, thanks —and congratulations to 25 lucky readers who won copies of the VANISHED audiobook as a thank-you for pre-ordering BURIED SECRETS! While I’m at it, special thanks to my super-fans, the Heller’s Angels, who’ve done so much to spread the word.
Want to know more about the story behind the story? Check out the book trailer. If you want to see just how far I was willing to go to research this book — even getting locked inside a coffin! — watch this. I’ve done a series of podcasts about the writing of the book, which you can listen to here.
I’ve already given a few interviews about BURIED SECRETS, which you can read here or here, or listen to here. More are coming; check my Twitter feed (@JoeFinder) or my Facebook fan page for new links as they become available.
You might also get a kick out of my other YouTube videos on how one writer copes with distraction in the wired world and searching for the world’s most exotic perfume (this will make more sense once you’ve read the book!).
Once you have read the book, please join the discussion on my Facebook fan page —see what other readers are saying, and post your own review. You can also chat with me on Twitter, where I’ll check in when I can!
The BURIED SECRETS Tour
I won’t be making many stops on this year’s tour, but if you’re anywhere nearby, I hope you’ll come see me. While supplies last, I’ll be giving away Heller Associates field journals to the first 20 people at each signing, and to everyone who buys a copy of BURIED SECRETS. If you can’t be there in person, call the bookstore or follow the link to order a signed copy.
