Updated Wednesday, December 19th

 

Two Quick Updates: First, I created a new, simple video for my book. I have posted it on My Space and You Tube. I also out it on the new Video Tab to the left. If you get a chance, I'd appreciate it if you could watch it and give me your feedback.

 

Also, I just got back from my trip to Indy. You can check out my trip, including my book signing and my visit to a Carmel, Indiana middle school to speak to the students on writing, by visiting my blog.

 

 

Updated Wednesday, November 28th.

 

There are more reviews pouring in about the Samson Effect, including my first major market newspaper review from the Oklahoman and from an online book review site, Bibliohistoria. Check out the Praise tab to see why they are saying, 

 

"Seldom has a thriller evoked as many emotions as a new novel by Tony Eldridge, The Samson Effect," said the reviewer, "which takes the reader on a ride as perilous as a roller coaster."
 
and
 
"It was everything I expected, and more. I stayed up reading it until after midnight because I could NOT put it down." 
 

I have also posted 5 more reviews on the Praise tab from Amazon.com and BN.com
