What: Release of Killing Time in Saudi Arabia: An American Experience October 31, 2014
What would you do if you found yourself in the middle of the War On Terror without knowing it? What would you do if you worked for a company that didn't care if you lived or died? In the third book of his American Experiences in Arabia During the War On Terror series, Matthew D. Heines takes a job as an English instructor training National Guard Officers for the Saudi Arabian military. After his arrival, thanks to Iraq and Abu Ghraib prison, the heaviest fighting erupts in Riyadh during the years 2004-2005. For eighteen months, the author experiences life in the Middle of the War On Terror. It's crazy, funny and tragic, all at the same time.
The iTunes version contains a gallery of maps, photos and an introductory video at the beginning. It's cutting edge technology, writing and humor.
Available on Amazon, iBooks, Kobo, Nook, Kindle and Paperback too.
Also on the same day: free download of Another Year in Oman: Between Iraq and a Hard Place (book two in the American Experiences in Arabia During the War On Terror series) will be available for free on Kindle compatible devices.
Matthew Heines will be available for interviews on a first come, first served basis.
