I’m going to keep this one nice and short because the old saw that a picture is worth a thousand words has never been more apropos.
I came home from book tour (only one more stop and that’s near my house) and it has been a wonderful couple of weeks. HOLD TIGHT, thanks to many of you, will debut this Sunday on the NEW YORK TIMES bestseller list at number one. That’s a first for me. Simultaneously, thanks again to many of you, it debuts at one in the UK. Such a thrill.
But this picture taken at Camp Eggers in Kabul… I mean, doesn’t it say it all? Is there any greater accolade? I love getting emails from happy readers at harlancoben.com. They all mean something special to me. But I hold an extra special place in my heart – and I’m sure you get that – for the soldiers who are serving overseas and take the time to write.
So stay safe, guys. Thanks for the pic. You are our heroes.
