Books
Dana Haynes’ first thriller, “Crashers,” was released by St. Martin’s Press in 2010. The paperback version hit stands this October. The sequel, “Breaking Point,” was released Nov. 8. Dana now is working on a third novel.
Dana’s previous mysteries, “Bishop’s Gambit, Declined,” “Perpetual Check” and “Sacrifice Play,” were published by Bantam Books and Severn House of England. They were written under the pen name Conrad Haynes.
The fire starts at the engine, 1 mile from the fuselage wreckage. the ambulances get within 1/2 mile of the wreckage. The hunters dig a fire break and the firefighters are called. Comeon give us a reason that the fire burned uncontrolled for all those days, then withstands a waterbombbardment then burns thru a town. A bit much methinks.
Stumbled on “Crashers” at my local biblioteca. Thoroughly enjoyed it and I am looking forward to a successful stalk on “Breaking Point”. As Tomzak might say “Ya done good, my friend!”
I just finished reading Ice Cold Kill. I really enjoyed the book and wished there had been more.
WOW! My hubby bought Crashers for me for Christmas – and I couldn’t put it down! He asked me to describe it for him and I said it was like Michael Crichton meets 24, lol. (high praise in our house) Keep up the great work – I can’t wait to read Breaking Point.
I wanted to thank you for a couple of things. First for being an author! I just found Breaking Point at my local library, Loutit in Grand Haven, MI, and I could not stop reading until the finish.
Secondly, I think your character, Daria Gibron, is awesome. I have a daughter named Daria and found this character totally fastinating. I will keep reading and have added your name to my list of authors to watch for and to read!!!
What? BREAKING POINT isn’t in Palm Springs? By all that’s holy, I’ll come down there myself and look for it. And I’ll stay as long as it takes to find it! The trick is to lounge by the pool side and don’t look like you’re hunting the book. That way you can sneak up on it. Don’t thank me: That’s just the kinda guy I am.
I CAN’T FIND BREAKING POINT IN THE PALM SPRINGS AREA! HELP!
Bought Crashers for my husband. He couldn’t put it down. So then I read it, and I couldn’t put it down. Now I’m going to the store to get Breaking Point. And I’ll be sure to recommend it to my friends. Excellent read!!
I read Crashers, on my Kindle, to my husband while traveling to Palm Springs. Loved it and could hardly put it down. Am just about to load Breaking Point onto my Kindle. Will read it every time we get in the car to run errands in sunny Southern California. We are Portlanders(I read about you in the Oregonian) and applaud you for fantastic writing. All of your characters are super.
Dana,
Enjoyed reading both Crashers and Breaking Point. They were both page turners for me for both the aviation related theme and especially the characters.
Over the Xmas holidays I visited with relatives and we spoke of books recently read. I told them about both of your books. There was some iBook purchasing going later
Look forward to the Daria books in the near future.

Wait. Can we go back to the part where you’re making fried chicken and didn’t invite the author?!?!
I am about half way through Crashers and am totally hooked. I fried chicken last night while standing at the stove reading. Your knowledge of a crash is phenominal yet easy for a novice to read. I cannot wait to finish and get to your second book.
