I don't know whether this is a bad sign: Amazon is selling Tribulation House for $2.40 (that's 80-percent off!). I have no idea how long this deal will last.

UPDATE: It's now selling for $6.59 ... which is still a 45-percent savings off the list price.

About the book:
IT’S NOT THE END OF THE WORLD—WHICH COULD BE A PROBLEM...
Mark
Hogan has it all. The job. The family. A position on the board at
church. All he’s missing is a boat. Not just any boat—a 2008 Bayliner
192. When Reverend Daniel Glory announces that the Rapture is
taking place on October 17 at 5:51am, Hogan realizes his boat–buying
days are numbered. So he does what any man in his situation would do—he
borrows a load of money from the mob. Not that there’s any risk involved: After all, when the Rapture comes, Hogan will be long gone. The mob will never find him. But
when Jesus fails to come back on schedule, Mark Hogan finds the mob is
in no mood to discuss the finer points of end–times theology... Chris
Well’s laugh-out-loud Christian thrillers appeal to the millions of
readers who gobble up the rollicking crime fiction of Janet Evanovich
and Elmore Leonard.

 Best-selling Christian suspense writer and former trial lawyer James Scott Bell ( No Legal Grounds) has a new page-turner in stores, Try Dying (Center Street), the first of an “engaging whodunit series” ( Publishers Weekly). The novel is Bell’s artistic -- and articulate -- response to the often gratuitous suspense fiction populating today’s general market shelves, going back to the model demonstrated by the classic hardboiled and noir writers and filmmakers of the '40s and '50s. “Somehow these books and movies managed to get at the human condition without the gratuitous elements we see so much of today,” Bell says. “I sense there’s a big audience out there is getting tired of that in their fiction. They still want a good read, a thrill ride, their suspense tough and gritty with lots of twists and turns. But they don't want all the offensive elements.” About the book: Ty Buchanan is a rising star in his L.A. law firm until the suspicious death of his fiancee forces him into the underbelly of the city to discover the truth behind her death. He soon finds himself tangled up with a mysterious group of former gang members, and becomes the target of a killer. Link: "Why I Wrote Try Dying," by James Scott Bell

 For the uninitiated among you, there are a number of professing Christians working in professional comics today. In fact, three high profile members of the industry recently made comics news that has fanboys buzzing: At DC Comics, writer Chuck Dixon ( Punisher, Green Arrow) is returning to the title he launched in 1993, Robin, starring the latest version of the famed Batman sidekick; his first new issue, #170, hits stores in January. ( Discussion at Dixon's message board.) At rival Marvel Comics, penciler Ed McGinnis ( Superman/Batman) will be applying his artist skills to Incredible Hulk, reportedly following the conclusion of the company-wide “World War Hulk” crossover. ( Story at Newsarama.) Also at Marvel, writer Jim Krueger ( Justice, Earth X) is busily scripting one of the big events for 2008, Avengers/Invaders, a 12-issue extravaganza that pits Earth’s Mightiest Heroes against their World War II predecessors, led by the original Captain America. ( Official Marvel press release.)  Krueger, by the way, is also one of the top drawer creators working on the new line of Z Graphic Novels.
