Hello everyone!

I hereby would like to introduce you to my thriller The Kennedy Secret. If you're a fan of Robert Ludlum, David Baldacci, and Vince Flynn you won't want to miss this fast-paced adventure.

​

An assassin who betrays his master
A con man running for his life
The most fascinating family in American history...

Government hitman Donovan Flood is looking forward to retirement after a last assignment. But it never is as easy as it seems and he soon finds himself involved in tying up loose ends following the assassination of a man with secrets, Robert Kennedy. Flood and his partner have to unravel the mystery of who really wanted Kennedy dead. And why.

They must race against the clock and their quest leads them to Vegas mobsters, to powerful politicians, and KGB agents. When their journey takes them into the jungles of Bolivia, nobody knows what to expect... or if they can even make it out alive.

This meticulously-researched thriller clocks in at 102,000 words.

All through July, The Kennedy Secret will be available at only $.99 on Amazon and all Smashwords affiliates.

I thought the secret was money?

 

[Steve the Bear]

Ah-ha! There might be something more ominous lurking underneath, Art.

But I'll give you a hint, the secret is not the presence of crabs

BTW, I'm doing an Extreme Makeover for the cover this weekend, so stay tuned...

Hey everyone!

Just got my first review of The Kennedy Secret on Amazon and it's 5 stars!

The highlight:

"It was funny, complex and very entertaining. It was brilliantly written and very knowledgeable. It kept me guessing till the end."

And yesterday the first blog review was posted. It's a very entertaining article in which the reviewer, Cari, starts talking about her exciting date. She raves about my book toward the end.

She has this to say:

"I'd rank Steve's writing up there with some of the best thriller authors today. It was interesting, thrilling and a fun read."

And this!

"If my numbers went higher, I would have given it a #20, because a #10, is just not enough. This was a way, way, way bitch'n read!"

See for yourself by downloading a copy of The Kennedy Secret today! This is the last call for the $0.99 discount. Next week it's jumping to $3.99.

 

[Steve the Bear]

New price is active, sales are good, and reviewers are raving.

The Kennedy Secret is a must-read for thriller fans!

 

[Steve the Bear]

Ever wanted to know what a 1960s-flavored treasure hunt would look like with CIA assassins and KGB agents on your tail? This is the book for you.

The Kennedy Secret. Read it, know it, live it!

 

[Steve the Bear]

Considering I'm getting a lot of attention these days thanks to my free story The Whatever Society, I'm dropping down the price of The Kennedy Secret to $.99 for the time being.

Just, you know, so you know...

 

[Steve the Bear]

Did you see it? Uh, did you come across it during your many hours searching the darkest recesses of the inter-tubes, looking into my novel The Kennedy Secret?

Of course, I'm talking about my latest glowing review! Michelle Vasquez over at Life in Review said stuff like:

"It's a wonderfully complex story line that has all sorts of twists and surprises. On top of that, there are some characters that I really grew to care about."​

and

"The author has obviously done his homework when it comes to the historical aspects of this story! Then he blends in fictional characters and a compelling story that will have you on the edge of your seat."​

You can read the full review at http://lifeinreviewblog.wordpress.com/2011/08/22/life-in-review-the-kennedy-secret-by-steve-richer/

Oh and to take advantage of one of my free short stories which advertises this novel, The Kennedy Secret is back at $.99 for a little while!

This book will tell you how to murder someone with nicotine.

Well, actually I had to refrain myself from giving detailed instructions so I wouldn't become some Al Qaeda poster boy. But it's still vaguely explained.

It's in Chapter 1.
