I've always wanted to write a thriller using my travels in Europe as the backdrop. As foreign locations tend to be complicated, I was excited when, two years ago, I finally formed the outline for the story.
Summer before last, I sat down to start writing the novel that would become Pegasus Down. I wrote, rewrote, cursed, paced, (with a limp, after having knee surgery) Many months later, the book was finally written, and ready to venture out into the world.
I handed it over to my agent, who worked her magic on the first round of edits, and then we sent it to my publisher. From that point on, only a handful of people read the book. More edits are made, the rough edges smoothed, the cover art created, and the book is scheduled for release. It takes another year, a very long year in my mind, as the first to typically read my finished novel are the reviewers. In the case of Pegasus Down, here's what they've had to say:

I'm pleased, and I hope you will be as well. Spread the word, and know that the next Donovan Nash thriller will come out in March of 2017. I'm halfway home on that one.
