The NY Times hardcover fiction best seller list for the week 2/15/10 through 2/21/10 (to be published in the 3/7/10 issue of the Times Book Review) includes THE LAST SURGEON at #15. Adding to our excitement is that TLS was only on sale for 6 days, and also that the list is a cruncher, including The Help, The Lost Symbol by Dan Brown, and books by James Patterson, Stuart Woods, Joe Hill (Stephen King’s son), Laurell K. Hamilton, and Steig Larson (The Girl Who Played with Fire). So, thank you, thank you all. After so much hard work writing, then promoting the book, it is incredibly rewarding to have it be appreciated in this way.

The Last Surgeon: Most Terrifying Killer Since Hannibal LecterThursday, February 18th, 2010The Huffington Post reviewed THE LAST SURGEON The Last Surgeon: Most Terrifying Killer Since Hannibal Lecter “Franz Koller is one of the most deadly villains to grace the pages of a novel since the introduction of Hannibal Lecter. Koller is a killer who enjoys his work and does it methodically with no regard for his victims. He appears in the first chapter of Michael Palmer’s new novel The Last Surgeon and that chapter is as chilling as any murder scene ever written…. This is the kind of book you read with a bright light on and all the doors locked. Franz Koller will creep you out and is the stuff of nightmares. He is the one who puts the chill in this thriller and he does it with a demeanor void of humanity…. grab this book up quickly and start its suspenseful ride. Palmer will have you in the palm of his hand as he manipulates the plot and manipulates the pulse of the reader.” Prequel to The Last SurgeonThursday, February 11th, 2010Read the prequel to THE LAST SURGEON Dennis and Callahan Interview with MichaelWednesday, February 10th, 2010Listen to Michael’s interview with Dennis and Callahan.

Help Support Our Veterans with PTSDMonday, February 1st, 2010In anticipation of the release of my latest novel, THE LAST SURGEON, we will be hosting the Books & Bands Fundraiser to benefit the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program in support of our veterans suffering from PTSD. The party will be held at the Paradise Rock Club in Boston — an evening full of books, auctions, music, great food, and appearances by some of the country’s best writers, including Lee Child, Tess Gerritsen, Gary Braver, Lisa Gardner, Joseph Finder, Andre Dubus III, Mark Vonnegut, William Martin, Sandra Lee, and Hank Phillippi Ryan. Here is a video of my official announcement… If you are from the New England area, I would be thrilled if you could attend. All ticket proceeds and a portion of the book sales will benefit the Home Base PTSD Program. It’s a great event for a great cause. You can purchase tickets by visiting the LiveNation website. For those who can’t make it, I encourage you to help spread the word. Between today and February 16th, 2010, I’ll be conducting a little fundraiser of my own via social media. It’s free to participate and a great way to help out. Here’s how it works: 1.) I’ll donate $1 to the Red Sox Foundation and Massachusetts General Hospital Home Base Program for every additional Facebook Fan I acquire until book launch on February 16th, 2010. I encourage you to spread the word and to suggest for your friends to become fans — it’s an easy way to help a great cause. 2.) For you Twitter users, I’ll also be donating an additional $1 for all followers who adopt THE LAST SURGEON Twibbon. If you have a Twitter profile, simply click here to get started. I would love it if you could help out in some way to support this event. If you cannot attend, I’d appreciate it very much if you could help pass along this message to contacts who might be of interest. Warm Regards, |
