Audio Editions Now Available for Full Series

The entire Mark Rollins adventure series of mysteries is now available on Audible. There is no better way to shorten a car trip than to listen to an audio book.  And if you are unlucky enough to find yourself quarantined or recuperating from illness or a medical procedure, audio books are a great way to make the time go by faster.  Or do like a friend of mine, who recently posted the following message on Facebook:

…Looking for a new book to read. Any suggestions? Actually, I don’t read anymore I listen to audible.

Here is an idea for the holidays, especially for a family member who has a daily commute, give them an Audible membership. It will really change their life.

The audio editions of the six books in the Mark Rollins adventure mystery series can be purchased from Amazon or directly from Audible.  For the Audible link to each individual book go to https://www.tomcollinsauthor.com/audio-list.

The Mark Rollins adventure series includes:

• Mark Rollins’ New Career & the Woman’s Health Club (Book one) Rollins becomes the owner of an unusual business born out of boredom rather than the necessity to earn a living. It is an exclusive club for very wealthy women of Nashville. An investment-banker husband of one of the fitness club members is reported missing. The clues suggest foul play, but Rollins discovers that this money man is running for his life—and his hunters are not far behind.

• Mark Rollins and the Rainmaker (Book Two) In the Rainmaker someone wants to kill the law firm’s public face—its rainmaker. Drawing from thirty years of law firm experience, the author opens the doors on a world of greed, lust, and crime.

• Mark Rollins and the Puppeteer (Book Three) In the Puppeteer, a lawyer and rising political star dies in Nashville’s notorious Printer’s Alley with a bullet through his head!

• The Claret Murders, a Mark Rollins Adventure (Book Four) It's Nashville ... with a devastating flood, a beautiful lawyer, a deadly secret, and wine to kill for.

• Diversion, a Mark Rollins Adventure (Book Five) The bucolic area around Manchester and Tullahoma, Tennessee, is becoming infested with pill mills selling prescriptions for cash. The area also includes targets the country's enemies are willing to die for.

• Beyond Visual Range, a Mark Rollins Adventure (Book Six) Two women drone pilots battle in outer space to defend their country from a rogue military element threatening to overthrow the government. One is a former fighter pilot who, after a crash, now flies from a wheelchair.

Listening for 900 Miles

Last week I drove 900 miles from Naples, Florida, to Franklin, Tennessee. I hate driving. However, this particular trip went by quickly. Why?

I purchased an audiobook before starting my road trip. The book turned a normally unpleasant fourteen hours into an enjoyable listening experience. It was one of Lee Child’s Jack Reacher mysteries and had a little more splattered brain matter and destroyed knees than I prefer—but then there were a couple of drivers I encountered during the trip that I would have liked to introduce to Jack Reacher in a dark alley.

If you are planning a driving trip anytime soon, consider purchasing the audio version of my book The Claret Murders. Even if you previously read the book, you will enjoy having the mystery and the Nashville flood experience brought to life through the voice of the reader. The audio version is available on Amazon.com or iTunes. Did you know there is talk of TV and movie rights? If you missed it, you can read the announcement for release of the audio edition by going to http://t.e2ma.net/message/vcadh/rptxeh.

While I don’t recommend reading it while driving, I hope you will soon read The Language of Excellence if you haven’t already. It is my fifth full-length book and the first focused on business. I am particularly happy that the book is being talked about as a breakthrough for its clarity and simplicity in its treatment of leadership and management issues. The CEO of LIVESTRONG said it teaches you how to deal with almost anything business or life will throw at you. The book is available in print and eBook formats on Amazon, other online bookstores, and through your favorite bookstore. The Language of Excellence is the perfect gift for someone about to graduate from college or for those already in the business world in pursuit of long-term durable success.
