"ONE OF THE BEST BOOKS OF 2013. Spellbinding ... highly entertaining ... a must-read for die-hard James Bond fans. 5 stars." - IndieReader.com "Combines the best ingredients of an edge-of-your-seat action movie and a page-turning thriller into one riveting punch. I wish I could nominate it for an Oscar!" - Joel Schumacher, director of THE LOST BOYS, A TIME TO KILL and THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA "A frenetic thriller ... keeps the story moving without ever losing its sense of fun." - Kirkus Reviews Watch the Book Trailer on YouTube: http: //www.youtube.com/watch?v=zp_ICun63HI Haven't you ever wondered what inspired the creation of fiction's greatest secret agent? Author Aaron Cooley takes the reader on a World War II thrill ride across two continents and six nations in pursuit of the answer to this question. A first-time British spy is on the trail of the Allies' most important Double Agent, on a mission to determine his loyalty before he can hand over the means of creating history's most devastating weapon to the Nazis. Before his mission is over, this young Briton will be inspired to create a fictional super-agent who will one day become one of literature's most famous characters. An engaging, fantastical what-could-have-been, SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED is not to be missed by World War II buffs, literary devotees, and especially, fans of Her Majesty's most famous spy. MORE REVIEWS "Aaron Cooley writes with such galloping deftness and verve that you'll find yourself swearing you were present at the creation of James Bond." - James Kaplan, author of FRANK: THE VOICE "That fun hybrid of a fast-paced thriller and fantasized Roman a' clef. Bond readers will enjoy it immensely-those who like WWII espionage stories will find it a good ride as well. It'll be awhile until the next 007 literary adventure-Shaken, Not stirred is a more than worthy place holder for the holidays." - Wesley Britton, Bookpleasures.com "A wonderful juxtaposition of vintage James Bond, Tom Clancy's inestimable Jack Ryan, with a little whimsy thrown in for good measure. Four stars." - Carolann Dematos, HerLiterarySalon.com "Cooley has done the near-impossible: crafted a tale even Ian Fleming himself would have been proud to call his own. The best book I've read this year." - David Callaham, screenwriter of THE EXPENDABLES and DOOM "Cracks like the bullet from a sniper's rifle. Full of guts and elegance; a great thriller and a terrific debut." - Colin Dickey, author of CRANIOKLEPTY and AFTERLIVES OF THE SAINTS "A marvelous 'what if' about Ian Fleming and the genesis of James Bond. A top-notch spy thriller, too." - Bill Desowitz, author of JAMES BOND UNMASKED ABOUT THE AUTHOR A former child actor, Aaron Cooley has been living on film sets since the age of three.

"A remarkable thriller... along the lines of TRUE DETECTIVE or THE KILLING." - MenReadingBooks.com Each year on the first Monday of October, the Supreme Court reconvenes for another new term. But this year, the first Monday brings only terror and tragedy, as six bombs tear through their temple of law, killing 124 people. Homeland Security immediately brands Supreme Court Police officer Jason Lancaster as their prime suspect. Jason must go on the run to find the persons responsible for the attack - and for the murder of his fiancée, Supreme Court Marshal Miranda Whitney. Meanwhile, former First Lady Rosemarie Irving volunteers to assist the current President in nominating replacements for the four Justices lost in the tragedy. Their confirmation hearings will become contentious battles over some of the most polarizing legal issues of our day: from abortion to marijuana, from homosexuality to equality for women. The quest for the truth will eventually lead Jason Lancaster back to the White House, and into a face-to-face confrontation with the person he believes must have planned the bombings: the newly-appointed Chief Justice of the Court. Here in paperback for the first time are all six books of FOUR SEATS, Aaron Cooley's serial conspiracy thriller that took the summer of 2015 by storm.
The early reviews are in, and with his third novel, "this master storyteller has done it again." - Don Houts, MenReadingBooks.com.

When offered a chance at redemption in the horrific case of the Congressional Killers, he must face head-on the demons that destroyed his life, and delve into the darkest depths of America's gun industry. Aaron Cooley is a producer and development executive for famed film director Joel Schumacher. His first novel SHAKEN, NOT STIRRED was named one of the Best Indie Books of 2013 by IndieReader.com. He has also written screenplays and teleplays for MTV, A Band Apart, Lorenzo di Bonaventura Productions, Winkler Films, and Twisted Pictures.
