Hi Diana, Thanks for the suggestions! I am reading Rob Byrnes book The Night We Met, which is great fun, and you are still mentioned as one of the authors with a book in a window display where the main character Andrew hopes to have his own book displayed. I will most certainly move on to the Robert Dugoni books once I’ve read all of Rob’s books

Dear Diana,
I took advantage of your blog posting to download Rob Dugoni’s book, MURDER ONE, to my Nook and within 30 pages, was hooked! I went online and downloaded three (I think?) of his earlier David Sloane books in anticipation. However, I’m so involved with THIS book, I don’t want to stop reading just to go back and read the previous books for the back story on Sloane!

Thanks for recommending another great book.

“The Custom of the Army” was a great read and well worth all the struggle I went through to it. Thank you, Diana, as always, for giving us such interesting prose.

amazon.com talked me through accessing the book through some online program called “cloud reader.” I’m still not a “registered user” but apparently can access books via “cloud reader.” No matter. I’ve got “Custom of the Army” and after all the hassle am not going to try going through “cloud reader” again as it doesn’t appear to give me access to two online freebies and so I’m not foolish enough to buy another Kindle book. I got *the one* I wanted and am now reading it via “cloud reader” and am not going to shut down my computer or quit my browser (Safari) until I have finished reading “Custom of the Army.” Whew. What a mess. As previously noted I tried downloading the Mac Kindle software three times and tried dozens of times to “register” my Mac and use their software (dozens of tries). I caution all Mac users to approach using the Kindle software with caution and learn from my example. I can now access “Custom of the Army” through the available (only through the browser, not the Kindle application) and am a happy camper but I will *not* be buying any more Kindle books until if/when I decide to buy a Kindle (and am leery of that with all the frustrations I’ve had with amazon’s software).

BTW I went through 3 help personnel before the last one finally tried “cloud reader.”

Off to read “Custom of the Army.”

This is a review I wrote on the Kindle at amazon.com. I am course am referring to The Custom of the Army:

I decided to download the software for Mac OS X 10.6 and try it out before buying a Kindle. The software won’t work! I’ve downloaded it three times and am very frustrated. When I select “Sync and check for new items” from the menu it doesn’t work, it “times out” (fails to register). If the Kindles themselves don’t work any better than the software for them then I have no use for buying a Kindle. I’ll just eat the cost of $1.95 that I paid for Custom of the Army.

I really want to read your novella but customer service (on the telephone) can’t seem to solve the problem. I am needless to say very frustrated and thought I’d post this looking for a little sympathy. As one of your many fans I’ve ordered all books including anthologies from amazon.com and this is needless to say the only frustrating experience I’ve encountered.

It’s funny you mention gay crime caper novels as a niche market. I have a HS classmate who writes & has published lots of gay horror fiction (Rick R. Reed). I always thought that a very niche market. I am just not into horror. But the description of both of these books you mention prompted me to download the Kindle version for my iPad. Thank you.

I just checked the Kindle store, too, and could only find it for $10.54. I love Diana’s recommendations, though – have found a number of authors I never would have tried otherwise.
