Columbia Supporters:

There is one week left to pre-order Columbia at https://pszr.co/rLFfm.

Columbia is a spy thriller about Sami Lakhani, a gay, Muslim-American working in the dark corners of US intelligence. When Sami is tasked with stopping a suspected terror plot that has roots in the mosque where he grew up, he is forced back into the orbit of his estranged grandfather. Sami was content to let everyone - even his spy handler - believe that Sami's sexuality was at the heart of their family discord, but there is actually a very dark secret in his grandfather's past which Sami has long suspected but never had the courage to confront. But now, with indications that the plot Sami is assigned to stop is actually being orchestrated by a White Nationalist group that is tied to a White House aide and which seeks to strike at America's cultural flashpoints by framing Muslim-Americans for terror attacks, Sami must bare his family's secrets and take on nefarious elements of his own government.

That's Columbia in a nutshell: 154 words.

Now, can I ask two favors?

1) Help me outsmart Dunbar's Number - Please send the link for pre-orders and the 154 words above to a friend and ask them to check out the book. My personal network of friends, family and colleagues (YOU!) have already been so supportive of the book, but to get more pre-orders during this final week I will need the book to get in front of people that I don't know personally. If you want to send it to two or three friends, that would be veen better. If you want to send it to your entire email list, go crazy! I'll not stop you! By the way, I did not intentionally make the 154-word summary above lie within the Dunbar's Number range, but I love a happy accident.

2) House Party 3 - I am not referring to the phenomenal third House Party film, which was also Chris Tucker's film debut. I am referring to three remaining house party packages that are still available for Columbia pre-orders. Please consider upgrading your current order to a House Party Package so that I can add you to the amazing book tour already scheduled. 

The tour begins with a Bruno Mars reference that I could not have intended but am grateful presented itself, with parties booked in Harlem, Hollywood, and Jackson, Mississippi.  

Alright, in point of fact the first two parties are in Queens and The Valley, but the third is in Jackson, MS and that's certainly close enough to inject some Uptown Funk into your day. Other parties are booked in Atlanta, Boston, Raleigh, and little ole' hometown Davidson, NC.

That's all for today, dear readers. Two big favors to ask. I don't take them lightly. Thank you so much!

Only a few more days of Columbia emails headed your way. I am sorry for my ongoing presence in your inbox, but I am grateful for your support.

Thank you,

Joey
