Authors Charles G. Irion and Ronald J. Watkins Present Murder on Kilimanjaro, the Grand Finale of the Summit Murder Mystery Series at Barnes & Noble

On Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 6:30 PM authors Charles G. Irion and Ronald J. Watkins will be greeting fans of their Summit Murder Mystery series at Barnes & Noble at the 101 and Shea in Scottsdale, Arizona.  The signing will include a meet and greet with the authors, a chance to ask your burning questions about the Summit Murder Mystery series, and for fans to get their books signed!    

The Summit Murder Mystery series was inspired by the 1987 Everest attempt by co-author Charles G. Irion and later his 2011 Kilimanjaro climb. Each is an exciting murder mystery set against the back drop of the world’s astounding Seven Summits.  The series begins with the book Murder on Everest and continues with Murder on Elbrus, Murder on Mt. McKinley, Murder on Puncak Jaya, Murder on Aconcagua, Murder on Vinson Massif and ends with the grand finale Murder on Kilimanjaro.  Unlike any mystery ever previously written, you will actually feel yourself atop each mountain where deaths from altitude sickness, accidents, illness and fatigue are a matter of course, but when you add murder to the mix, you get a novel that is truly one of a kind.  The authors promise you will experience the thrill of the climb and the terror of every step.  

Irion says, “We are looking forward to celebrating the release of this exciting and dramatic novel that concludes our best-selling Summit Murder Mystery series. Ron and I are ecstatic about the release of this unforgettable finale and are looking forward to celebrating with our family, friends and fans.  For those that have yet to read the novels, all I need is a few minutes to tell you why this is a series you don’t want to miss!  Please come on out to the signing and celebrate with us!”  

Barnes & Noble Booksellers is located at 10500 N. 90^th Street Scottsdale, Arizona 85258.  For additional information you can contact them at 480-391-0048 or visit their website at www.barnesandnoble.com

Reviews Are Coming In!

Reviews are starting to roll in for Murder on Kilimanjaro!  Check out these two reviews, and order your own copy by CLICKING HERE!


"A long time fan of Charles G. Irion's novels, this final book to his series made me wanting more. As I've been to the area he writes of, his attention to details of Africa is amazingly accurate. Combined with Irion's creative, dramatic writing this is a must read. Allow yourself plenty of time! You won't be able to put this book down." - Writing in Style, Amazon.com reviewer

"I read Murder on Kilimanjaro this weekend. One of those stories where you need to keep reading. I must say the action and environmental descriptions were wonderfully written putting you in the middle of the action. You could feel the fear and the struggle to stay alive. This is what every writer wants to achieve, transporting the reader from arm chair and into the action." - Jan O'Kane, Amazon.com reviewer

K2 Summer in the City Event

I am proud to announce that Irion Books, LLC is a major sponsor of the K2 Adventure Foundation's 3rd Annual "Summer in the City" event at the Ritz Carlton in Phoenix, AZ on May 19th.  K2 Adventures Foundation is a qualified 501c(3) non-profit national and international organization whose mission is to care for children and families with special needs and or life changing medical circumstances by providing services and funds that will be used for educational and medical enrichment.

Kevin Cherilla and Kristen Sandquist are the co-founders of the K2 organization and I was lucky enough to climb Mount Kilimanjaro with them in June of last year.  Climbing Mt. Kilimanjaro was an unforgettable experience and I used it as research to formulate the plot and excitement that you will find in Murder on Kilimanjaro, the final book in my Summit Murder Mystery series due out in October 2012.


The 'Summer in the City' event will feature a luncheon and fashion show, shopping from local vendors and silent and live auctions.  The best part is that all the monies raised from the event directly support local and international charities and the Mwereni Integrated School for the Blind in Tanzania.

To register for the event, please CLICK HERE! 


I am looking forward to sharing photos from the event, so stay tuned!

Project C.U.R.E. and The Happiest Man In The World

Tomorrow evening I will be attending a book event at Arizona State University, sponsored by the ASU Alumni Association, featuring Dr. James W. Jackson, the founder of Project C.U.R.E. an organization that I am heavily involved in and support.  Project C.U.R.E. was founded in 1987 to help meet the need for medical supplies, equipment and services around the world.  Since its inception, Project C.U.R.E. has delivered medical relief to more than 120 countries since its inception.

Dr. James Jackson has devoted the past twenty-three years of his life to traveling all over the world and “delivering health and hope” to the world’s most needy people.  Thousands of people are alive today as a result of Project C.U.R.E.’s efforts, its volunteers and its founder, Dr. Jackson. 

The Happiest Man In The World, Dr. Jackson’s new book provides unique and compelling insight into the life and legacy of a man who found true happiness in relinquishment and selfless service.  He tells the story of the heartbreak he endured seeing children die of treatable illnesses simply because the doctors and nurses lacked the proper medical equipment and supplies.  He also shares the joy expressed by doctors and nurses who saw containers full of donated medical supplies arrive just in time to save a life because of the efforts of Project C.U.R.E. 

Dr. Jackson’s book is said to provide an honest assessment of the challenges presented to him for building a “Business of Goodness” and he challenges people everywhere to learn from his experiences and join him in becoming, “The Happiest Man in the World!” 

During the event Dr. Jackson will be sharing stories and images of a life refocused from “getting” to one of “giving”.  I have been fortunate enough to see up close and personal the giving Dr. Jackson is referring to.  This past summer I participated in Project C.U.R.E.’s medical mission in Moshi Tanzania where I helped deliver supplies to the Mwerni School for the Blind.  While in Tanzania, I also climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro where I was doing research for the Summit Murder Mystery Series’ final book, Murder On Kilimanjaro!  It was an amazing trip for many reasons!

I’m looking forward to tomorrow night’s event.   It is sure to be a moving and inspirational evening.
