Sequel to Tell Me More, The Russian has Blake Waiter in an International debacle <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

FALL RIVER: <\/strong>Brad Kelln doesn\u2019t want you to put his latest book down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The\n Fall River author just released his second in what he hopes to be \nmultiple novels in the series following the journey of fictional \npsychologist Blake Waiter. The most recent published piece that keeps \nthe reader on a \u201cwild ride\u201d is The Russian.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBefore I found my \npublisher I had Tell Me More, the first book, and The Russian written,\u201d \nsaid Kelln inside his St. Andrews Village home. \u201cI knew I wanted to \ncarry the story on and continue talking about the characters and \nexploring them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt was a matter of getting the first book out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe\n Russian\u201d finds Blake in the middle of an international debacle. While \nhis wife continues to struggle with the multiple tragedies that have \nbefallen their family, including the disappearance of their son some \nthree years ago, and while he tries to care for her, Blake gets assigned\n a new client from the Special Services Coordination for High-Value \nAssets (or SSCHVA for short) only to find out that this patient is a \ncontroversial Russian submariner who is officially listed as dead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Before\n Blake can even meet the man, a hostage-taking on a Halifax Harbour \nferry draws the attention of police, and they enlist his services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelln\n does include a bit of irony in the book. Blake only got asked to help \nthe police out because the regular guy is off on a basketball trip with \nhis son (Kelln is dad to Jake, a star basketball player with Lockview \nHigh\u2019s boys team).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of stuff going on in the book,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\n was expecting it to be out in stores and online retail shops such as \nAmazon; Indigo\/Chapters; and more by the end of November.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Kelln \nsaid the first book established some of the plot lines and characters, \nthen \u201cThe Russian\u201d explores more of what he has experienced as a private\n psychologist himself and one who does work with the RCMP.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOne of\n the things I wanted to focus on in this book was around the involvement\n of crisis negotiation, which is work that I do and am still under \ncontract to provide that service to the RCMP,\u201d said Kelln. \u201cI wanted to \nput some real-life stuff in to this. I thought it would be fun to \ninclude a scenario of a lot of the stuff I\u2019m familiar with.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He said people not putting his book down is one thing that is extremely important to him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhen\n I start out doing a new series\/book I write something I would want to \nread myself,\u201d Kelln said. \u201cWhat I like to read is stuff that moves along\n quickly, that has quick chapters, interesting scenarios, and keeps you \nhooked and interested.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If that\u2019s the case, Kelln has another winner because like \u201cTell Me More,\u201d \u201cThe Russian\u201d does that with ease.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
