My Press Release for
A DEADLY EXCHANGE

"Sheryl Jane Stafford easily bursts onto the tired and crowded scene of suspense fiction with a gripping melodrama about a brave couple willing to face death in order to save each other." Although A Deadly Exchange is categorized as fiction, the details about the POW experience, sailing, bone fishing, weather, guns, tracking station, island flora and fauna, and the depiction of the small, isolated Bahaman cays are all accurate. The author and her husband, former Vietnam POW and retired Navy fighter pilot, Commander Hugh Allen Stafford, have cruised to the Bahamas several times on their sailboat, Fiddler's Green.

On January 17, 2003, A Deadly Exchange was ranked #1 on three separate Walmart.com Top Seller lists: Suspense, Espionage/Intrigue, and Sea and Ocean. After a full week at #1, ADE continues to occupy impressive positions on all three lists.

BestBookDeal.com, which tracks 58 online bookstores worldwide, ranks A Deadly Exchange #23 in their best selling action category. BBD covers such bookstores as Amazon.com (which alone offers 4.7 million books to the reading public), Barnesandnoble.com, Booksamillion, abebooks.com, VarsityBooks.com, Walmart.com, and many, many more.

A Deadly Exchange was made available to the market through Ingram Book Company in April, 2001, and since that time,the novel has received over fifty extraordinary reviews from reviewers. Among those commenting about the book are *Sara Paretsky, renowned author of Total Recall, Hard Time, Ghost Country, etc.; Richard Langford, author of White Squall, The Last Voyage of the Albatross; The Decatur Daily; Joseph H. Pierre, Author of The Road To Damascus: Our Journey Through Eternity; The Lexington Dispatch; The Gosport (U.S. Navy Newspaper); The Sun Herald; Asian Yachting News; 48 Degrees North Magazine; Sailing and Yachting Magazine for South Africa; Good Old Boat; and Latitudes and Attitudes Magazine.

An editor at Passage Maker Magazine, an international, upscale, trawler and ocean motorboat publication (prints 6 issues annually), requested that the author write a nonfiction article about writing while aboard ship. Her article, "Novel Idea," appeared in its entirety, as submitted, in Passage Maker's March/April, 2002, Issue.

In October, 2001, BookBrowse.com selected and featured A Deadly Exchange on its homepage for ten days. This included an author bio, book excerpt, and reviews. BookBrowse "selects from the cream of current literature, choosing books from a wide variety of genre.
