Back from London

I got in late last night from an 8-day trip to London that was absolutely fantastic. I'll post pictures and more soon, but I want to thank everyone in the UK--especially my publisher--for really going all out and doing a fantastic job. And thanks to the readers who are already making THE STOLEN into a hit!

Two quick notes:

--THE STOLEN has already debuted on the UK Heatseekers bestseller list...and it only came out last Friday!

--THE STOLEN is currently #36 on the Tesco bestseller list, and if you look at the other books on that list you can see why I'm pretty thrilled. Any time you're that close to James Bond and Stephenie Meyer, it can't be a bad thing.

26. DEVIL MAY CARE - Sebastian Faulks
27. SILKS - Dick Francis
28. NEW MOON - Stephenie Meyer
29. ECLIPSE - Stephenie Meyer
30. TWILIGHT - Stephenie Meyer
31. FRACTURED - Karin Slaughter
32. MYSTERY MAN - Bateman
33. GYPSY - Lesley Pearce
34. TESTIMONY - Anita Shreve
35. THE OTHER HAND - Chris Cleave
36. THE STOLEN - Jason Pinter

Anatomy of an Awesome Book Package

I like all my book covers. Each edition--whether foreign or domestic--has their own strengths. I'd be lying if I said there weren't a few covers I wish I could tweak here or there, but by and large I'm very happy with how my covers have come out and thankful that my publishers have really put a lot of thought and effort into them. I was happy with my book covers. Until yesterday.

Yesterday I received the first copy of the UK edition of THE STOLEN, which hits shelves across the pond on June 19th (UK fans can pre-order here). And I don't just like this edition. It doesn't just make me happy. I LOVE it. 

This thing is just beautiful. Sometimes in publishing you hear someone say, "Seeing the cover online doesn't do it justice." Well, seeing the UK edition of THE STOLEN does not do its cover justice. The whole package--front, spine and back--has this very cool silver/metallic finish that catches the light, reflects and will stand out on a shelf like nobody's business. When I say this cover shines, I mean it shines. Even the back cover and spine look cool. It's hard to say if this package is my favorite out of all my books--but it's hard to say that it's not. My sincere thanks to my UK publisher for doing just an extraordinary job on this book. I even took photos to analyze why this package works so well:

The fantastic front cover. Perfectly captures the book's tone, while also offering a clear central image that gives the reader an immediate sense of what lies within. The font is atmospheric, and the neat smudges and burn marks make the whole thing look ominous as hell. This baby should be in a textbook entitled "How to create an awesome book cover."

Does everything a back needs, and does it well: A bold reading line, a synopsis that hooks you, quotes to let you know that other people besides my publisher and I think the book is worth reading, and full color photos of my backlist so you can catch up on the whole series.

Did I say this baby shines? I mean it SHINES.

Central image. Title. Name. Shiny. Even the spine is cool.

Each of my foreign editions (give or take one or two that haven't arrived yet). The fact that my books are available in so many countries and so many languages still blows my mind.

THE GUILTY
In UK stores now!

Starting today, my second Henry Parker novel, THE GUILTY, hits shelves all across the UK. THE MARK was a huge success across the pond, spending several weeks on the Bookseller's Heatseeker bestseller list and receiving terrific reviews. THE GUILTY is available from Amazon UK, Waterstones, Tesco, and many other fine stores.

UK praise for THE MARK

“Thriller fans, we have a hot new name on the block to shout about! Jason Pinter’s high octane, confident debut marks his card as ‘one to watch.” —The Daily Record

“The Mark has the kind of explosive writing that will put Jason Pinter up there amongst the top names, with its go-for-broke thematic attitude and foreboding atmosphere makes it a big reason why the book stands out amongst the crowd.” —ShotsMag

"A cracking debut." --The Daily Mirror

“At once chilling and shot through with humour, it boasts two very appealing protagonists. Pinter knows how to ramp up the tension so the reader is in that pleasurable zone of suspense, wanting to turn pages and yet not get to the end too soon. ” —The Sunday Tribune

“All the elements are there, plus that something extra special that makes this book a publishing phenomenon that’s definitely not to be missed. Go on, I dare you not to finish it in one sitting!” —CrimeSquad UK

“Pinter makes the most of it…an unpredictable ending with, along the way, fun and terror in a highly proficient debut.” –The Scotsman

Ah, Venice
THE MARK has just been published in Italy, as IL BERSAGLIO. To spread the word I did an interview for an Italian website, which can be read here. Bonus points to those of you who can read it in Italian, for the rest there's always Babelfish.

Plus: Even more news on foreign editions coming Friday, and this one is big...

The Scots like THE MARK

About a week and a half before the publication of THE GUILTY across the pond, Scotland newspaper The Scotsman runs its review of THE MARK:

The Mark by Jason Pinter (Mira, £6.99) is one long chase in which an ambitious young journalist finds himself dragged into a pursuit in which, if he fails to attain the objective, he will die. It may be the FBI or the Mafia which kills him, but he will be dead all the same. Indeed, the opening paragraph has him at the point of death. The book is all about the chase, not the objective, which is what Alfred Hitchcock would have called a McGuffin, a device of no importance simply there to trigger the pursuit. But Pinter makes the most of it, from the killing of a cop at the start to an unpredictable ending, with, along the way, fun and terror in a highly proficient debut.

72 STUNDEN


I can't believe I forgot to mention this until now, but the German edition of THE MARK is officially on sale today! (they've retitled it 72 STUNDEN, which translates into 72 HOURS).

Let's see what the Amazon Germany website has to say about it (from translation2.paralink.com):

Henry Parker came to New York to start his dream job: Reporter in one of the most famous newspapers of the land. Henry is young. Ambitiously. But his first history could kill him. In 24 hours Henry of the murder will be accused. His only prop: A courageous, but injured young woman whom he must protect from the truth. In 48 hours he will be before three men on the run who want to see him everything for different, but very personal reasons dead.

The Way Home

I'm sitting in a small cafe in Heathrow airport, trying not to think about how much money I've spent on stupid T-Mobile internet passes over the last few months.

My flight back to New York leaves in just over two hours, and I have to say my trip abroad was an unqualified success. My publisher really pulled out all the stops, and a special thanks go out to Catherine, Belinda and Suzy who accompanied me to Bristol. They were wonderful guides, and I know my UK career is in good hands. I can't thank them enough. 

As it stands, my six day tally clocks in at:

--4 airline flights
--2 train rides
--4 different hotels
--11 interviews
--Approximately 150 books signed at 6 different stores

CrimeFest was a terrific conference, and my first outside the U.S. Thanks go out to Adrian Muller for inviting me, and for organizing a great event (even more so considering this was the inaugural Crimefest). The panels were interesting and well-attended, and I have a slew of photographs from the trip that will be posted as I catch up some much-needed sleep. I also must give a shout out to Kevin Wignall, fellow "Morality in Crime Fiction" panelist, simply because he mentioned receiving a Google Alert after I posted about reading his (fantastic) novel WHO IS CONRAD HIRST? on my flight back from Dublin. So hopefully Kevin will get another Google Alert from this as well. 

Other authors I met in person for the first time included: Jeff Lindsay (who went to Middlebury--boo!), James Twining (who is hopefully over his hay fever), Meg Gardiner (whose husband taught our banquet table the true story of how the internet was created), Simon Kernick, Chris Mooney, Katherine John, Laurie R. King, Allan "Sunshine" Guthrie, Steve Mosby, Yrsa Sigurdardottir (whose last name I mangled during our panel), Michael Morley, John Rickards and Laura Wilson. Thanks to everyone for their incredible hospitality.

Perhaps the most memorable moment from the conference occurred yesterday afternoon following Ian Rankin's interview with Peter Guttridge. After the talk ended I went to the men's room, and right before entering I thought, "Wouldn't it be funny if it was just me and Ian Rankin in the bathroom?"

Sure enough I open the door, and who am I alone with in the men's room? None other than Ian Rankin. I thought about it, but decided offering to shake his hand would have been slightly inappropriate.

Bristol Calling

I have only three hours left in London before catching a train to Bristol for the CrimeFest convention. This is CrimeFest's inaugural year, and was apparently inspired by the success of Left Coast Crime which was held in Bristol in 2006. (I heard a funny story regarding Tony Blair and the city of Bristol, which will be a great icebreaker at the bar)

A slew of terrific authors are attending, including Ian Rankin, Jeff "Dexter" Lindsay, Karin Fossum, Laurie R. King, and many more. I h
ave two panels on Saturday, the first at 9:00 am as a participant:

SCARED TO DEATH: Thrills and Chills
Moderator: Declan Hughes
Katherine John
Michael Morley
Jason Pinter
James Twining

Then I'll be moderating a panel at 1:30:

WRITING THE WRONGS: Morality in Crime Fiction
Moderator: Jason Pinter
Steve Mosby
Kevin Wignall
Yrsa Sigurdardottir
Laura Wilson

And if I may digress, I noticed perhaps the strangest sentence in the history of newspapers this morning while reading The Daily Telegraph. In the (very good) review for Ben Affleck's "Gone, Baby, Gone" the reviewer wrote, "(Michelle) Monaghan, who bears an unfortunate resemblance to Janet Jackson..."

And I was thinking, wait, is there a different Janet Jackson I'm not aware of? Because here is what Michelle Monaghan looks like:















And here is what Janet Jackson looks like:












My time in London has been wonderful, though I'll have to take another trip back to stay here and in Dublin for a good old touristy trip soon. Yesterday alone I had six interviews and three stock signings, and at one point I actually fell asleep for ten minutes in the waiting room at the BBC Radio studios in Oxford Circus.

Last night I had drinks and dinner with the UK publishing team. Lots of wine was consumed, and a good time was had by all.

And in a moment that has to mean something...when we walked into the Naked Turtle restaurant for dinner, the haunting Johnny Cash song "I Hung My Head" was playing over the speakers. In my second novel, THE GUILTY (due out in the UK in December), there's an epigraph. And that epigraph is from...wait for it..."I Hung My Head" by Johnny Cash.

I literally got chills. And if I didn't know before, that moment confirmed that this trip has been worth every second.

London Calling (and book signing schedule)

I'm feeling awake and refreshed this morning (perhaps having to do with sleeping past 5:30 am for the first time since Saturday), and excited for my first full day in London. I arrived back from Dublin yesterday morning and immediately went for a lunch with several reps from my publisher as well as journalists and book retailers. We had a great conversation about books, politics, the economy, and I've noticed that almost inevitably when speaking to someone not from New York 9/11 ends up a topic of conversation.

After lunch I passed out for a few hours, then took a long walk into Hyde Park and over to Notting Hill (sadly I did not see Hugh Grant or Julia Roberts, though I did see a lot of guys that looked like Rhys Ifans). My midnight interview went smashingly (I'm already turning into Madonna), and today I have a slew of BBC radio interviews scheduled, followed by several signings (see below for times). 

Tonight is a dinner with my UK publishing team, who have gone far above and beyond the call of duty. Plus I've been told to wear my drinking hat. (That I've been traveling around Ireland and London for nearly three days and have only had one single, solitary pint of Guinness is inconceivable)

I've read two books on the trip so far: Ian Rankin's classic first Rebus novel KNOTS AND CROSSES and Kevin Wignall's multi-nominated WHO IS CONRAD HIRST?

The response to THE MARK has been wonderful here. I wasn't quite sure what to expect, as I'm pretty unaware of how foreign tastes in crime fiction compare to the U.S., but so far it has been a great experience. I've also had a chance to address some questions about my career and about publishing that I don't get to touch on too often. The genre's role in literature (sadly most people consider genre and literature to be two entirely different species). Whether age or looks help get more publicity for your book (if you're a young woman writing a roman a clef about fashion, publishing or gossip, yes. If you're a young man with unruly hair and/or a pocket square with a 'literary pedigree' writing either a memoir or thinly-veiled memoir, yes. If you're a young man or woman writing crime fiction, no).

One thing I've noticed on the bookselling side--from the relatively few stores I've been in, granted--is how few hardcovers are sold in the UK. I've only seen three books being sold in hardcover: Ken Follett's WORLD WITHOUT END, Jeffrey Archer's PRISONER OF BIRTH and Sebastian Faulk's James Bond novel DEVIL MAY CARE. I've been told that larger paperbacks are the most popular format for big-name authors, both for price and convenience, and only the top, top, top authors come out in hardback. 

Oh yeah, and the dollar don't buy squat here.

Book Signings
Since I've heard from a few UK readers, I'll be signing copies of THE MARK at Waterstone's at 421 Oxford Street at 2:30, and then at Waterstone's at 19-23 Oxford Street somewhere around 3:15.

Irish Eyes Are Smiling

I'm back in London after an all too brief day yesterday in Dublin. What I saw of the city was stunning, and I hope to go back there soon for a more substantial visit. As it was, I did two interviews that went very well, including a photo shoot(!) for an Irish daily paper that should run some time in the next two weeks. The day was topped off with dinner at Fallon & Byrne with my publicity rep, two sales reps from my publisher, and buyers from two of the larger chains in Ireland. A great crew, and I learned that Irish people like to describe things they enjoy as being 'gorgeous.' (As in: "How's does your beef taste?" "Gorgeous.")

Unfortunately most of the pubs had served last call by the time we left the restaurant (apparently the real weekend begins on Thursday night), but we did manage to get in a pint of Guinness before hitting the road.

Today brings lunch with some UK newspaper folks and another round of interviews, including a radio interview scheduled for midnight. Since my body is now on Centaurian time (a 37-hour day) it should be no problem.

And this very nifty shot was taken in Eason's bookstore on O'Connell Street, the main shopping strip in Dublin. (thanks to Ian Roberts for this!)

Notes from the road...

Dublin is simply beautiful, and, according to my incredibly kind publicity rep, this is the nicest day the city has seen in some time. Thanks, Dublin! (shame I'm here for less than 24 hours)

I did my first interview for an Irish radio show about two and a half hours ago, and it went very well. Because film rights to THE MARK have been optioned by an Ireland-based production company they were very keen to hear about that. My second interview is in a little over an hour, and it will only be my second sit-down ever. Apparently they're bringing a photographer as well. Hopefully my skin looks slightly better than Amy Winehouse's.

So far since leaving my house I've literally spent more time in airports than on the ground. I'm at that weird point where I'm so tired I'm actually kind of hyper. It might also have to do with the coffee they brew in Europe that's so strong it could kick Starbucks's ass with a wooden stirrer.

Thrill of the trip (so far): seeing THE MARK in W.H. Smith in Heathrow airport. 

Tip of the trip (so far): my cab driver pointing out that the best pint of Guinness in Dublin is served at a bar just around the corner from my hotel. See you soon, O'Donohue's...

Anarchy (and books!) in the UK

I'm sitting in a hotel room in London, getting ready to embark on my very first publicity tour in the UK and Ireland for the release of THE MARK. That my first tour occurs outside the U.S. makes me wonder if I have bad breath, but nonetheless I'm very excited. I have to give a shout out to the incredible UK team who've gone above and beyond to put together a great itinerary, while being as kind an enthusiastic as an author could hope for.

Yesterday I flew in to Heathrow, landing about 7:15 pm here, but then spent literally over an hour waiting on line at customs. As if that wasn't bad enough, they had a recording running on an endless loop that said, "There are many inbound passengers at this time of day. Due to tougher security measures you may have to wait a little bit longer to get into the country." Plus the cell phone I thought would work here does not actually work here. 

Imagine not only standing on line for over an a hour after a 6 hour flight, but listening to some say that loudly over and over again the entire time.

After that it was to the Marriot by Heathrow for one (half) night of sleep, because today I'm flying over to Dublin via Aer Lingus (officially my favorite airline name of all time) for a quick day of promo before flying back to London. I'll be here for three days, then taking the train to Bristol for the CrimeFest convention. It's 5 hours ahead here, but my body has completely lost all concept of time so it's possible I might fall asleep at any moment. Or just run around wired with my underwear on my head like Cornholio.

Ireland has been at the top of my "must visit" list for a long time, so even though I'll be there barely 24 hours I'm hoping to get some good pictures. And if I leave the country without having a pint in a real, honest-to-goodness Irish pub, the U.S. should revoke my citizenship (not really).

It is currently 5:54 am, and I have just over half an hour before a cab is picking up to bring me back to Heathrow. And thus begins "Jet Lag Tour 2008." More from the road coming soon (if I stay awake).

THE MARK hits the UK
Today marks the release of my debut novel, THE MARK, in bookstores across the United Kingdom. I'll be traveling over there from June 2nd to June 8th to promote in England and Ireland, attending the CrimeFest convention in Bristol while there. Once I have a more specific itinerary I'll post it. Oh yeah, and you can buy the book at Amazon UK.

The UK publishing team has done an otherwordly job promoting this book, and I wanted to point out some very cool things happening:

Virgin Radio is running an amazing contest where the winner receives a trip for two to NYC, along with other assorted goodies. Check out the contest details here.

I wrote an article for Publishing News (the UK equivalent of Publishers Weekly). It's available online here.

And here are some reviews that have recently come in:

'This is a great debut obviously written by someone who knows the genre very well. An innocent man caught up in a murder only to be hunted by both the police and the criminals alike. Yes, it does sound like familiar territory but Jason Pinter gives it a new, electrifying life that would make any writer in the genre jealous. The Mark has the kind of explosive writing that will put Jason Pinter up there amongst the top names, with its go-for-broke thematic attitude and foreboding atmosphere makes it a big reason why the book stands out amongst the crowd. And this oft revised scenario works with a darkly melodic power. I can’t wait for the next book in the series."
--ShotsMag UK on THE MARK

"A cut-above the norm in this area and a good start to what should develop into a terrific series."
--Lovereading.co.uk on THE MARK (May 2008 debut of the month)

"It’s a brilliant debut... the action simply blazes along and the reader is caught up in the ride. All the elements are there, plus that something extra special that makes this book a publishing phenomenon that's definitely not to be missed. Go on, I dare you not to finish it in one sitting!"

A Few New Reviews

A new review of THE GUILTY, and the first batch in from the UK...

"The author clearly did his research on gunslinger genealogy, and it makes for fascinating reading...well-executed gritty action...races along towards an ending of thriller proportions...Whether as journalist or crime stopper, Parker always manages to come out on top — and so has Jason Pinter, again."
--The Lincoln Journal-Star on THE GUILTY

Win a Trip for 2 To NYC (complete with helicopter ride!)

With THE MARK scheduled to arrive in UK bookstores on May 16th, my publisher has set up a pretty sweet contest with Virgin Radio. 

The winner will receive a trip for two to NYC, complete with hotel, airfare, helicopter ride, and dinner with me at Babbo. I've never been in a helicopter or eaten at Babbo, so this will be a first for all three of us. Not to how many people have turned down dinner with me over the years, and now it's a prize in a contest. Oh, the irony. 100 runners up will receive a copy of the UK edition of THE MARK, so please link to this contest and pass it along to friends.

The contest details can be viewed at the Virgin Radio site here. And here's a little video I made to help promote the contest:

Edgars, OK!

Congratulations to all the Edgar award winners, as well as the nominees. There are a lot of books on this list on my TBR pile, and I can't wait to get through them. I'm very sorry to have missed what sounds like a great banquet, but I promise not to miss another Edgar ceremony.

Right now I'm in Midwest City, Oklahoma as the OWFI conference. Today I'm speaking on the editor/author dichotomy, and tomorrow I'm on a panel critiquing query letters. The weather here is beautiful, save the completely random hail storm that occurred at about 8:00 last night and forced the hotel employees to seek refuge in a nearby storm shelter (seriously).

I'm also excited because THE MARK comes out in the UK two weeks from today. I'll be going across the pond on June 2nd to promote it over there and attend the CrimeFest conference. More to come on all fronts.

THE GUILTY: Down Under Edition

I'll be back from vacation Saturday night, and resuming my regular schedule thereafter. But for now I want to share the cover for the Australian edition of THE GUILTY. This is the first foreign art I've seen for my second novel, and I have to say it's pretty darn cool. Plus it looks great alongside the Aussie edition of THE MARK.

3 Days in Deutschland

The German edition of THE MARK will be published in August '08 under the title 72 STUNDEN, which translates to 72 HOURS. This means the book has been mathematically proven to have 50% more hours than the Eddie Murphy/Nick Nolte movie.
