SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Brad Taylor
DESCRIPTION:On Writing Action-Packed and Suspenseful Spycraft with Brad Taylor \nFormer Special Forces and New York Times Bestselling Author of the Pike Logan Series \nJoin us in conversation with acclaimed author Brad Taylor on his latest work\, Shadow Strike\, book 20 (yes\, you read that right!) of the bestselling Pike Logan series. \nAfter its proxies are devastated and its offensive capability pummeled in the latest war in the Middle East\, a rogue group of Iranian regime officials create a brazen plot to strike back at their hated enemies once and for all. They envision a series of operational dominos culminating in a devastating attack\, and the first step is the assassination of the Israeli prime minister.  And there’s only one assassin with the skills to pull it off: Abdul Rahman\, known in the shadows as the Ghost. \nWhen a routine prison transfer is ambushed\, the Ghost escapes and is given the assignment. The only Operator who can hunt him down is the man who stopped him before: Pike Logan. \nPike and his team soon learn that the mission involves something bigger than just the escape of his old enemy. Working with Mossad agents\, the pursuit leads the Taskforce to Argentina. They work to unravel the scope of the attack\, and the chase leads them through the tempestuous waterfalls of Iguazu and the Triple Frontier\, to the vibrant streets of Buenos Aires\, and the tiny village of Ushuaia at the “End of the World.” \nAs the team races against the clock\, Pike learns the stakes are much greater than a single life – the consequences extend into the heartland of America itself. The Ghost may hold the key to an escalation that will upend the worldwide balance of power\, and if Pike fails\, the fallout won’t just be personal – it’ll be global. \nRegister today to learn why the Pike Logan series has everyone buzzing! \nRegister Here\nPast Author Talks\nAbout the Author: Brad Taylor is the author of the New York Times bestselling Pike Logan series.

SUMMARY:Virtual Author Talk with Jason Reynolds
DESCRIPTION:On Writing Beloved Characters and Powerful Portrayals of Resilience in Virtual Conversation with Jason Reynolds\n\n\nAward-Winning and New York Times Bestselling Author\n\n\nJoin us in an online conversation with bestselling author Jason Reynolds as we discuss his latest work\, Coach\, the fifth–and last–entry in the highly popular Track series. Following the immersive stories of Ghost\, Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny\, it’s finally time for Coach to shine in his own book as we discover: Who was Coach before he became an inspiring leader? \nBefore Coach was the man who gave caring yet firm-handed guidance to Ghost\, Lu\, Patina\, and Sunny on the Defenders track team\, he was little Otie Brody\, who was obsessed with Mr. 9.99 (a.k.a. Carl Lewis) and Marty McFly from Back to the Future. Like Mr. 9.99—and his own dad—Otie is a sprinter. Sprint free or die is practically his motto. \nThen his dad\, who is always away on business trips\, comes home with a pair of Jordans. JORDANS. Fine as fine can be. Otie puts them on and feels like he can leap to the moon…maybe even leap like Mr. 9.99 when he won the Olympic gold medal in the long jump. But one morning he wakes up to find his brand-new secret weapon kicks are missing—right off his feet! And Otie just might have a fuzzy memory of his dad easing them off as Otie was sleeping\, but that can’t be right\, can it? \nUnless all the reasons for his dad’s “gone’s” are very different from what he’s been told… Because now\, not only are the Jordans missing\, but so is his father. \nRegister now to join in on the online conversation about the final installment to Jason Reynold’s Track series! \nRegister Here\nAbout the Author: Jason Reynolds is an award-winning and #1 New York Times bestselling author.
