(Reprinted from July 20th, 2010) Vince Flynn is a New York Times Bestselling novelist which in all seriousness should speak volumes to that newspaper.

(Reprinted from April19th, 2010) You can see I’m on a Vince Flynn reading spree—or binge if you prefer— here. It’s not often someone hands you a bag of books by an author you’ve just discovered and tells you to take your time with them, but that’s exactly what happened…
