George Washington 

Slept Here

Ted had the pleasure of reconnecting with George Washington's Virginia home Mount Vernon last month. He had served on the Advisory Board in the early 2000's and resigned when he moved to England in 2011 for a year to become the Visiting Scholar at Cambridge University in UK. Ted will soon be getting involved again with this National Treasure. Stay tuned for the 'when and how.'

While at Mount Vernon, Ted met with the President and CEO, Doug Bradburn, and then toured the grounds, the mansion and the various buildings. Ted was instrumental in producing the 4D movie, Washington's War, (which plays in the Visitor Center) during his time on the Advisory Board. Be sure to see it when you visit.

#14 Best Seller Sighting

Thrilled to see the paperback version of OVERKILL sitting at the #14 spot in the Washington, D.C Union Station. It's happily been on the best seller list for a few months now. Also happy to be nestled smack dab in the middle of literary friends. What a stellar group of wordsmiths in one place!

And. . . it's Spring! The perfect time to stock up on all the Alex Hawke best sellers. Give a nod to Lord Hawke as you mix up a Goslings Dark N' Stormy, find a chair in the sun and then settle in for a wild ride. . . with the world's most dashing gentleman spy.
