The summer vacation season is almost upon us. Soon, many of us will be off to the seashore or the mountains. Or maybe just to see grandmom. Wherever we are going, many of us will choose to fly there. Maybe it’s because of the distance involved or maybe you just prefer flying to sitting in a cramped car with the kids and luggage.
But as we all know, flying today comes  with its.own perils. Who hasn’t found themselves impatiently crawling along in an interminable security line only to find out you just missed your flight by a millimeter?
Well, today, you are in luck. The New York Times recently published an article on how you can make flying easier. Notice I said easier not easy

Jake Tapper's New Political Thriller

Jake Tapper of CNN has a new political thriller coming out soon. It's called "The Hellfire Club." From what I have seen of it, it deals with a host of political issues in the 1950s.  If you are inclined to read it, give my political thriller, "The China Connection" a chance also.  I think it will stack up quire well against Tapper's book.

"A Rainy Night in Georgia"

The first chapter of my new thriller, "A Rainy Night in Georgia," is now available for preview on my website, www.ajbasinski.com.  Please let me have any comments. Thanks.
