Thriller author A.C. Frieden at the Avendia Publishing exhibitor tent at Printers Row Lit Fest 2012.
The Avendia Publishing exhibitor tent at Printers Row Lit Fest 2012 was well located on Polk Street.
Thriller author A.C. Frieden attended the Chicago Printers Row Lit Fest this past weekend, signing books at the Avendia Publishing exhibitor tent and announcing the upcoming launch of his sequel thriller THE SERPENT’S GAME. Due out in November, THE SERPENT’S GAME is the second intallment in the Jonathan Brooks legal/spy thriller series following TRANQULITY DENIED.
The two-day book fair is one of the largest in the Midwest and is an excellent opportunity for authors to connect with fans, publishers and other authors. The crowds were huge on Saturday, which accounted for higher than expected sales of Frieden’s latest novel TRANQUILITY DENIED, as well as his other books.

Avendia Publishing announced the third legal/spy thriller in A.C. Frieden’s Jonathan Brooks series.

The fourth and fifth books in the series will be announced this December.

This is the near-final book cover for Frieden's upcoming thriller THE SERPENTS GAME
My book cover designer sent me the latest, near-final cover for THE SERPENT’S GAME, my next thriller due out this fall. The latest changes involved adding armed figures climbing the side of the ship. The back text is still being tweaked, ISBN and price bar codes will be added next week, blurbs will follow in late April, and the ARCs will go out to reviewers in May. There are many aspects to developing a book cover, and it’s interesting to follow the progress and have some input. Note that the cargo ship is from a photograph I took while researching and touring the Panama Canal, where two of the novel’s main action scenes take place.
The book cover also provides a visual marker of the long road that I’ve had to take for this manuscript. It’s a signal that things are moving ahead and reduces the abstractness by which I have slaved over the chapters. Now, finally, the second installment of the Jonathan Brooks thriller series is becoming tangible.
More updates soon, including dates for the launch events in Chicago and New York.

A.C. Frieden with former CIA officer and new author Nada Prouty at the Union League Club in Chicago
Today I attended a luncheon at the Union League Club in Chicago and had the distinct pleasure of meeting Nada Prouty, a courageous woman with a fascinating history. She just published her book “Uncompromised: The Rise, Fall, and Redemption of an Arab American Patriot in the CIA,” a story covering her service with the FBI and the CIA before being swept up by an investigation that questioned her loyalty and put her in the crosshairs of an ambitious, out of control prosecutor. If you have time to read it, pick up a copy.
