Author Interview on Head First into the Deep End
Well I had the opportunity to appear as a guest on the blog, Head First into the Deep End, and I wanted to share it with you.
http://headfirstintothedeepend.typepad.com/blog/2013/12/the-interrogation-room-andrew-g-nelson.html
The host, Tom Bradley, is a fellow author who has also written a book called The Kona Shuffle. I'll be interviewing him shortly and will post the Q & A session here on my site as well.
Looking to read Perfect Pawn? Now you have choices.
I actually had a discussion with someone who mentioned that they didn't use Amazon. I didn't think of it before but if you are one of those people you now have an alternative. The print version of Perfect Pawn is also available direct through Createspace.
The link is on the Books page but you can also click on the link below to go directly to the CS page for the book.
Happy Reading !!

As Bad As I Wanna Be.......
No, this post has nothing to do with Dennis Rodman, other
than he might make a great character in a book.......... "Kim Jong Un is lying on the floor dead, his
head beaten to a bloody pulp, when agents of the Ministry of State Security,
the North Korean Secret Police, find him. Look sir, the stippling impressions
in the Dear Leader's skull appear to be from a basketball..........."
Sorry, I digress.
Anyway, in my current WIP, which is the sequel to my current
book, I decided to embrace the darker side a bit more. I have to admit it has
been fun to explore the depths of depravity a bit. I wanted to move beyond the
stereotypical "bad guy"
character. You know, the one we are introduced to and it is just taken for
granted that he is the baddie. For me, I wanted to explore the developmental
issues. Sort of the nuts and bolts of why.
I'm not talking about the wishy-washy evil tantrum, as in:
"Yoda didn't make me a full Jedi
knight so I am going to I am going to commit child murder" but the
person who has that light bulb moment and says "no more Mr. Nice Guy."
They don't lose their moral compass, they conscientiously
choose to shelve it.

Sequel Update
Thought I would take a moment and let everyone know whats been going on with the sequel to Perfect Pawn.
November was a great month in terms of writing. As of today that means I am about 90% finished with the manuscript. I am hoping to have it in the initial editing / revision phase before the end of the month.
If everything continues to run smoothly it should be released at the early part (perhaps February) of 2014.
As for Perfect Pawn, the reviews coming in have all been positive. I appreciate all that have taken the time to contact me about the book. I also encourage anyone who might have questions to please feel free to contact me and share your thoughts.
Best wishes and thank you once again for your support.

Happy Thanksgiving
I just wanted to take this opportunity to extend my sincere best wishes to everyone for a safe, healthy and happy Thanksgiving.
I would also ask that as we mark this day that you keep our military, law enforcement and fire personnel in your thoughts and prayers. It is through their sacrifice, each and every day, that we are able to enjoy days like these.
May God bless each and every one of you.
