Thrilling Locations: Part 2

Tracking down Thomas Caine:

Work has been progressing well on the next Thomas Caine thriller. I felt like it was time to share some new and interesting locations readers can expect to visit in the next book. So without further ado, let’s jet off to the The People’s Republic of China!

Although most of the story is set in mainland China, I couldn’t resist a quick action scene at the Kwun Tong Promenade, on the outskirts of Hong Kong.

The glowing cube sculpture represents stacks of paper and heavy machinery, reflecting the area’s history as an industrial site.  I thought it would also makes a great location for a spy’s live drop, until things go wrong…

A good chunk of action is set around Beijing, the nation’s capitol. Beijing is an amazing city, and is a showcase of the rapid economic, technological, and cultural growth the country is undergoing.

On his way into the city, Caine drives past one the city’s most notable landmarks, the stunning National Stadium. The stadium was designed for the 2008 Olympic Games.  The bands of metal that surround the structure are meant to resemble a bird’s nest. Hence, the building’s nickname of “The Nest.”

Later, Caine and a friend make stop in the beautiful Yindingqiao Hutong. China’s Hutongs (which means “old lanes”) are a fascinating glimpse into the dynasties of China’s past.

Walking through one now is like stepping into a time machine. Many of these beautiful old neighborhoods were destroyed after the founding of the People’s Republic. Today, some of the remaining Hutong’s have been designated as protected areas.

Finally, while Caine fights to accomplish his mission in China, Rebecca, his superior at the CIA, must battle against internal politics and corruption. Her investigation takes her to the secretive NSA headquarters in Maryland, home of TAO, the Tailored Access Operations group. This team of cyber-warriors is tasked with hacking enemy computer networks and hardware.

That’s all for now… next time, we’ll take a look at the final leg of Caine’s journey across China.

In the meantime, you can check out the first two books in the series, Devil’s Due, andTokyo Black.  They’re both in Kindle Unlimited, and Devil’s Due is available on Audible as well.

Stay tuned for more exciting news from the world of Thomas Caine…

Awesome Gang Interview

August 14, 2016 by Andrew Warren Leave a Comment

A few months ago, I did an interview with Vinny over at Awesome Gang.com. People really seemed to enjoy the last interview I did with Brian Drake, so I figured I should post a link to this one as well. I hope you guys find it interesting! Here’s an excerpt… click the link at the end of this post to read more:

Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written:
Hi everyone! My name is Andrew, and I’ve worked in the entertainment industry for over a decade as a post supervisor, story producer, and writer. I was born and raised in New Jersey, where I grew up on a steady diet of James Bond movies, comic books, and action-adventure TV shows like Mission Impossible, The A-Team and The X-Files. I’ve written several screenplays, some comic books, and tons of promotional material. I was also a writer on the Youtube Red show Fight of the Living Dead. But this year, I got serious about writing my own fiction, and I completed two books in the Thomas Caine series. (click link at end of post for more!)

For any authors out there looking for affordable ways to promote their books, The team at Awesome Gang is… well, awesome! They’re a smaller site, but they’ve been increasing their visibility and reach every day. Each time I work with them I notice better and better results, and their new staggered promotions helped give my Tokyo Black launch an extra big push!

Most importantly, Vinny is a great guy to work with. When you email him he responds like a human being, which I can’t tell you how much I appreciate. If there’s a problem, or something goes wrong, he will work with you to fix it quickly and efficiently. And if you need advice or have questions about the best way to promote your book, trust me; Vinny is a guy you want to talk to. The fact that he has kept his service affordable speaks to his commitment to supporting new authors. I doubt you’ll find a better bang for your buck anywhere else in this business!

Please check out the interview HERE.

Let me know what you think! If you can come up with any new questions you’d like to see, post them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer. And don’t forget to check out Tokyo Black and Devil’s Due, now FREE on Kindle Unlimited!

Keep Reading,

Andrew Warren

Thrilling Locations

Where in the world is Thomas Caine?

I’m about halfway through the next Thomas Caine thriller, and I wanted to share some of the exciting and exotic locations our favorite former assassin will be visiting this time around. First up, we have the world’s tiniest coffee shop, the Coffee Tower…

This quaint, miniature café is located in the beautiful city of Riga, Latvia, which will also be featured in the book.

Riga has to be one of the most breath-taking cities on earth… it looks like it sprang to life right out of a fairy tale.  I first discovered Riga while doing research for a TV show a couple years ago. As soon as I saw the stunning architecture and rustic cobblestone streets, I knew I had to have Mr. Caine visit there sooner or later.

But like most cities, Riga has a dark side as well… it’s not all pastel cafes and delightful coffee shops. The neighborhood known as “The Quiet Centre” isn’t featured in the tourist brochures… it’s a tough spot full of dive bars, dark alleys, and shady characters… so of course Mr. Caine will have to pay it a visit as well.

That’s all for now… I’ll be doing more location reveals later in the week. And later this month, I’ll share a first glimpse at the new cover!

In the meantime, you can check out the first two books in the series, Devil’s Due, and Tokyo Black.  They’re both in Kindle Unlimited now, and Devil’s Due is available on Audible as well.

Stay tuned for more exciting news from the world of Thomas Caine…
