All 13 of North’s previous books have become New York Times best-sellers. “Counterfeit Lies” is North’s latest fictional release, following “Heroes Proved,” the fifth in his series depicting the clandestine missions of U.S. Marine Peter Newman. North’s autobiography, “Under Fire: An American Story,” was published in 1991. Other works of nonfiction by North include “American Heroes in the Fight against Radical Islam (2008),” “American Heroes in Special Operations (2010),” and “American Heroes on the Homefront (2013).”
North serves on the Board of Directors of the National Rifle Association and is the founder of Freedom Alliance, a foundation providing college scholarships to the sons and daughters of U.S. military personnel killed in the line of duty. Liberty also supports active servicemen and women and their families, providing grants and scholarships through the Office of Military Affairs.
The two-week, 36-city book tour started Saturday at the Marine Corps Base at Camp Pendleton, Calif. Following the approximate one-hour stop at noon in Lynchburg, Va., on Thursday, the bus tour will proceed to Tanglewood Mall Barnes & Noble in Roanoke, Va. for another book signing session that begins at 4:00pm.
