The vote was being tweeted, retweeted and posted here. It should have been a landslide blow out. All us Junkies need to rally behind our FDO and show our support! I know he would appreciate it. Besides, its fun gettting to vote on all the good authors that are in the smackdown!

"What the hell is happening? I blew up the building. Why? Because you made a phone call."

I’m a thriller book reviewer, and in the month of May I’m hosting the "Thriller Author Smackdown." Every day, two thriller authors from various subgenres will go head-to-head. There will be a new battle every day, with the championship coming on May 31.The author with the most votes moves on to the next round.

Scott Sigler will face off against adventure author Paul Christopher on Sunday, May 3 in a first round matchup. I hope you’ll visit my blog and cast your vote, not only for Scott, but in the other battles as well. It’s a great chance to have some fun and perhaps be exposed to some authors of whom you have not heard.
