New Military Thriller Just One More… Available at Amazon and BN.com

What a great time to purchase the new novel Just One More…
Both Amazon and BN.com have copies on hand for immediate shipping. Get this great new military thriller!





The book has been a five year journey and to call it a labor of love does not do it justice. It is a 348 pages long! I have already begun work on the sequel More Than One and you will find an excerpt from the sequel at the back of the book.

It is available in paperback from Amazon, BN and other online retailers. I am told it makes for a great summer beach read.

Expect the Ebook (Kindle, etc) out 15 October.

Just One More... $9.95

BN.com


Just One More… 


Read below for more details and to see the back cover.

Description:
On a fateful night in Afghanistan, a flawed NATO airstrike sets into motion a chain of events that reaches across the world, from Vancouver to Copenhagen to London. How far will one person go for revenge?

In the sleepy English countryside, an F15E Strike Eagle team gears up for a live weapons mission. Can lead pilot "Rider" keep his head in the game and overcome the demons of his past? Hundreds of lives will depend on the answer as a deadly Al Qaeda terrorist cell, and maverick CIA and MI6 agents descend on US soil in a jaw-dropping climax where anything goes.

Available in paperback from Amazon, BN and other online retailers starting 15 June. 
Expect the Ebook (Kindle, etc) will be out 1 October.

Just One More... $9.95

Ask The Expert Question: In Week 4 there will be three rookie quarterbacks starting (Carr, Bortles, Bridgewater). Which if any of these quarterbacks and/or passing offenses will have significant fantasy value in the weeks to come?

 In Week 4 there will be three rookie quarterbacks starting (Carr, Bortles, Bridgewater). Which if any of these quarterbacks and/or passing offenses will have significant fantasy value in the weeks to come? (And if you want to talk up Manziel, that's fine too.)



Teddy Bridgewater because he comes into a perfect situation. He has a great weapon in Cordarrelle Patterson (although I like him better if Kyle Rudolph were healthy). He will have to lead the team with his arm (and legs) now that Adrian Peterson is sidelined. He has the job locked up with no QB to challenge from the bench. At 1-2 and after a dismal 2013, fans are not expecting too much. All in all a perfect storm for a good fantasy season. 



ASK THE EXPERTS appears weekly at http://www.fantasyindex.com/ with answers to a new question posted Thursday morning.


Sam Hendricks is the author of Fantasy Football Guidebook, Fantasy Football Tips and Fantasy Football Basics , all available at his website, http://www.ffguidebook.com/, at all major bookstores, and at http://www.amazon.com/. He is a 20+ year fantasy football veteran who regularly participates in the National Fantasy Football Championship (NFFC), Fantasy Football World Championship (FFWC) and finished 7th and 16th overall (out of 228 top players) in the 2008 and 2009 Fantasy Football Players Championship (FFPC).
