Tonight I'll raise a glass to the great Vince Flynn. He passed away 10 years ago today, and yet, fans still think of him often. It's been an honor to carry on the Rapp tradition. I, for one, wasn't ready to let Mitch go...
Today I’m remembering
#VinceFlynn
on his birthday. Thriller fans around the world owe him a lot for giving us so many hours of phenomenal entertainment.
It's the end of an era.
It’s hard for even me to believe, but I’ve decided that CODE RED will be my final contribution to the Mitch Rapp series. Am I nuts? Maybe.
There's more. Who remembers the book FADE that I wrote long ago? Here's why I ask...
Bells are ringing! The first draft of Rapp
#22
is DONE! 🍾🍾🍾
In what has become a December tradition at the Mills house, here's a photo of the Most Complete Collection of Mitch Rapp Novels in the World.
Remembering Vince. On this day in 2013, my wife called from work to tell me that Vince Flynn had passed. I was sad, shocked, and also desperate to know what would happen to Mitch Rapp, one of my favorite characters. I'm happy Vince's legacy lives on.
This is my 20th

and I can tell you it never gets old. A huge thanks to readers for their support over the years and a special shout out to MR Ambassadors for all they do. I wouldn’t be celebrating this new release without each of you!

Pub Day because I’m wearing my once-a-year shirt! I took this photo in WY. I don’t fly with the shirt. The time-locked, climate-controlled vault it’s stored in doesn’t fit in the overhead.😂 It’s from Vince’s memorial event when THE SURVIVOR was released.
Today I'm remembering Vince Flynn and the amazing universe he gave us. Gone far too soon, but he lives on through Mitch, Irene, Scott, and so many other terrific characters. RIP 1966-2013
This is the last page of changes on the last round of edits for my last Mitch Rapp book. The final day of page proofs is ALWAYS marked with tacos and margaritas. This year's celebration will be delicious but also bittersweet.
CODE RED will be on shelves before you know it!
Each year on April 6, I toast Vince. Today we are not only remembering the man but also celebrating his official day that was recently adopted by the state of Minnesota:

While I'm not in the States right now, I don't have a grill, and there are no fireworks, I'm celebrating July 4th and the things America The Incredible has provided me: freedom, education, a great job, security, and much more. Not everyone in the world is so lucky...
In celebration of finishing the first draft of Rapp 20, I built The-World's-Only-Complete-Rapp-Collection side table. Coming soon to a store near you...

A book always feels so much more real when there's a title. RED WAR will be out in October! Rapp’s heading to Russia with a virtually impossible mission…
When I travel, I'm always curious to see which of my brethren I'll run into. This time it's

Today I'm remembering those who paid an enormous price to protect America and our freedom and celebrating the members of our active military. Often our soldiers are far from home, lending a hand to others in need, and we owe them our gratitude and respect. Happy Veterans Day!

Ryan, your support has meant the world to me over the last decade. Thank you again for everything!
I'm writing a chapter about an adversarial congressional hearing right now so I thought I'd watch some of the Strzok hearing. Not helpful. Readers would laugh at me if I wrote something that stupid.

Lately I've been getting a lot emails from people asking me to write a book based on an idea they have and then find a publisher for it. Yesterday it was "a terrorist group smuggles a bomb into the US." At least they promise me 20% of the royalties!
Rapp's next mission is in the news.
Western governments might just be waking up to the threat of captagon, but Mitch is already on the job. Who’s really behind this dangerous narcotic and how can we stop them? Find out when CODE RED is released 9/12/23.
