I have several but two that are pretty interesting - I expect both to make the best seller list. One is a non-fiction by a CIA spy operating in Iran during the Embassy takeover and into the 90s. He lives here now - got too hot over there and he just barely escaped after being found out. I'm basically writing the book because English is his second language. 3 publishers want it. It still has a lot of work to go. One big problem is dealing with the CIA. They have to review everything and demand changes that are stupid. For instance, he had to have a meeting with one of his contacts in Dubai to get more of the "disappearing" paper that he sent reports in on and I made up the name of a hotel in Dubai. They demanded that the hotel name be changed!! Just stupid. The other one is by a CityCorp executive vice president about the backroom shenanigans that go on in brokerages and Wall Street. He's an amazing writer with lots of insider stories. It's a novel. The book is with the publisher right now. Should be out for the Spring list. We're just ramping up the PR effort.
