Coffee & Convo with Author of SAY GOODBYE



Coffee & Convo welcomes Robert Capko, author of the action/adventure novel SAY GOODBYE.

Is SAY GOODBYE part of a series?

Yes

Tell us a little bit about SAY GOODBYE.

It is an Action/Adventure Thriller about an Air Force pararescueman named John Paxton.  Pararescue Jumpers (PJs) are the Special Forces operators that go pretty much anywhere in the world to rescue people.  Their primary mission is to rescue downed airmen behind enemy lines, but they do much more than that.  They are also on standby for all the manned space missions ready to rescue the astronauts should something go wrong.  They are also involved in civilian rescues both on land and at sea in the most extreme circumstances.

Here is a little bit about this award-winning book:

John Paxton is a man who understands duty—both to his family and to his country. As a highly decorated pararescueman in the Air Force, he's risked his own life numerous times to save the lives of others.  He was the epitome of the pararescue motto: These Things We Do That Others May Live. But now that he's married with two small children, he's content as an instructor at Lackland Air Force Base.

Then Paxton is commanded to lead a team on a dangerous mission—supposedly to rescue the pilot of a stealth fighter shot down over Serbia. Yet, nothing is as it seems. As the mission goes from bad to worse, Paxton uncovers a deadly plot that threatens National Security. But to fight an enemy with ties to one of the most dangerous organizations on the planet, he risks not only his own life, but also the people he loves the most.

Here is a video trailer for the book: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYOGNcKgO88

What do you think readers will enjoy most about SAY GOODBYE?

Readers will enjoy the fact that John Paxton isn’t an ordinary hero.  As a pararescueman, he is trained to save lives in the most dangerous conditions.  Sometimes he has to take lives to save others.  He is highly skilled at that as well.  Pararescue is the only force in the entire Department of Defense trained, equipped and tasked to do both.  Throughout his struggles, including the twists and turns and betrayals, he remains a loving and devoted husband and father.  Both men and women love this realistic journey into the world of Pararescue.  I believe you will too.

Why did you decide to become an Indie author?

I have always loved to write.  My dream has been to write books and I have the ability to control every aspect of the book. 

Is this your debut novel?

Yes, but there are many more on the way!

Any future writing plans you wish to share with us.

I am currently working on THE LONG ROAD HOME, which is the next book in the John Paxton series.   It is scheduled to be released in time for the holidays.  If you enjoy the action and twists in SAY GOODBYE, I promise you, the action and the twists will be ramped up as John Paxton clashes with some bad guys that are even more devious and powerful than he has faced before.
