Proof of Life







Hi all,



author J.J. Cooper, whose soon to be released 'The Interrogator' looks like a sure fire hit sent me these photos of my book on sale in Oz. The books are the trade paperback's (sometimes known as airport books).

If you've got problems to fix speak to Joe Hunter

Hey all,

Joe now has a telephone number where you can speak to him:

From the UK call 0061 458 178 980

(be mindful this call is to Australia where Joe is on a short sojourn - the call does cost and is only a bit of fun so don't call if you're counting the pennies).

Joe Hunter in Australia








Take a look here to see the full Australian Joe Hunter campaign.
These posters are appearing all over Australia in Sydney, Brisbane, Adelaide, Melbourne and Perth. People who telephone the mobile number on the photos can hear a recorded message from Joe Hunter (recorded by Razor).
p.s. just click on the photos to see a bigger image.

DMD on sale in Australia


It's just been confirmed by J.J. Cooper, author of The Interrogator, that he has just purchased a copy of Dead Men's Dust in Australia where the book is now on general sale.
The cover has been given a new look for the Australian market introducing Joe Hunter with the blurb 'It's Time For A New Hero.'
Excellent!!!
A big thank you to J.J. for the heads up.

Joe Hunter is Big Down Under - Ooh-er, missus!

Just thought that I'd share this review with you all, written by Todd Griffiths, an influential publisher from Hachette Australia.


I'm about twenty pages shy of finishing Dead Men’s Dust and I’m loving it. It’s about a thousand times better than I expected from past dabbles in the genre. Joe is a complex three dimensional character and the way Hilton explores the subtle but crucial differences between a sociopathic killer who has killed many with pleasure and a conscience ridden soldier who has killed even more but with a troubled moral self is nuanced and insightful in a way that belies the brief brutal bursts of “Bourne...” movie violence that punctuate the book. I can’t imagine someone could read a book in this genre after reading this and not find “Dead Men’s Dust” a superior book in every important way.
Regards,

My whole-hearted thanks go to Todd for his inspiring words.
