ELEVEN BRIEFCASES AND ONE UNLIKELY HERO…CAN MATT COOPER FIND ELEVEN NUCLEAR DEVICES AND HIS FAITH BEFORE DISASTER STRIKES?

With
violence in the Middle East escalating daily, Americans are glued to
their televisions wondering what will happen next. Meanwhile, Matt
Cooper, jet-setting star of Phil Little’s debut novel Hell in a Briefcase
is doing something about it. A private security executive, his
adrenaline-junkie days consist of last-minute first-class overseas
flights, Hollywood parties with his actress girlfriend, and direct
calls from top CIA brass.

A chance meeting with Mr. Roberts, “an old broken-down millionaire” and
uncommon Christian, sends Cooper on a trip to Israel that will change
his life. Matt goes behind the curtain of Middle East terrorism,
witnessing firsthand the untold ravages of holy war. The deeper he goes, the
closer he gets to a plot involving eleven stolen briefcase nukes and a
plan infinitely more sinister than 9/11.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Phil
Little, president of West Coast Detectives and a recognized expert in
counter-terrorism, provides bodyguards to the stars and runs a
detective agency that has served ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN, FOX, Paramount,
MGM, and hundreds of others (www.westcoastdetectives.us).
He draws on this experience in crafting the tightly wound plot of this
international thriller. In addition to his duties as a security expert,
Phil has also written Hostile Intent, Protecting Yourself from Terrorism and will soon be the subject of a television pilot. In the meantime, you can read more about Matt’s adventures in his blog, http://detectivemattcooper.blogspot.com.

In
addition, Phil is available for comment on all aspects of international
terrorism, both at home and abroad, and he makes for an interesting and
colorful guest. His expertise in the area of international issues
combined with his personable on-camera style would make for a great
interview on this hot topic. From Lebanese terror camps in the 1970’s
to American airports in the months before 9/11, Phil Little has
witnessed the terror threat up close and can share eye-opening stories
and information that all Americans should know.

It’s that time again. The time when we welcome the new year by
reflecting on the previous year (both our accomplishments and
shortcomings) and by making promises to do things differently. This
year I’ll lose weight and keep on top of the laundry and write 3 books
and the list goes on and on. And what happens to these little promises,
these notorious resolutions? They slide to the back of our mind in a
short amount of time. For some it’s a month or two, for others a day or
two.

I decided a long time ago that resolutions, filled with their good
intentions, are just that, good ideas that rarely, if ever, come to
fruition. What, then, can we do if we want to make some changes in our
lives? It was depressing to me to make a list of these things I wanted
to accomplish in the new year and not even make it to the half-way
mark. So I made some changes. No more resolutions for me.

Instead the new year is a time for setting goals. I know, some of
you are asking yourselves, well, what’s the difference? Actually quite
a bit. For one, resolutions don’t come with a plan, they’re abstract
things that are more like a wish list than a plan of attack. But goals,
goals are concrete, they contain steps and stages and are much easier
to obtain.

So you make a goal (to write a book), then you establish mini-goals,
or steps to achieve that big goal (for example, you set a schedule, or
you do the math backwards – if I have to write 350 pages and I want to
take the weekends off, then if I write 20-25 pages a week, I’ll have a
complete draft in 14-17 weeks). When you break your goal down into
smaller, more workable goals, then you know what you’re supposed to do.
Those “resolutions” give you an end result, they don’t tell you how to
get there. But working through your goals and setting up mini goals and
stages, you’ll give yourself an actual plan that is far easier to
accomplish.
