Greetings to our friends and readers!

This is just a quick note to let you know about a special offer: if you buy an autographed, first edition copy of DIABLO MESA from the Poisoned Pen bookstore, we will include a free set of rare, collectible trading cards with specially commissioned portraits of Nora Kelly and Corrie Swanson.

This set of trading cards comes with every copy of DIABLO MESA ordered from the Poisoned Pen bookstore as long as the supply lasts. You can order using this link.

Here is the portrait of Nora Kelly painted for her trading card, by the noted artist Bernard Lee.

The portrait shows Nora standing under Rainbow Bridge, based on a photograph taken by Doug (above). This is a famous landmark in Utah, which Nora first encountered on an expedition searching for a lost city, as told in our novel THUNDERHEAD.

This is the only opportunity readers will have to obtain these potentially rare trading cards. When this signed edition is sold out the cards will no longer be available. So if you're interested, please order soon.

DIABLO MESA will be published on February 15, and the signed books and trading cards will be shipped out on February 21 (we need a few days to sign them.)

Finally, if you'd like to see us live, online, talking about the new book, we would love to welcome you. Here is the link for FaceBook live. And here is the link for You Tube live.

With best regards,

Doug & Linc

P.S. If instead you want to buy a regular copy of the book at a good discount, you can use this link to find it on Amazon or another retailer of your choice.
