ABOUT THE BOOK:
Any wish fulfilled for the
right price. That's the promise the Desire Card gives to its
elite clients. But if the Card doesn’t feel like they’ve been justly
compensated, the “price” will be more menacing than the clients could ever imagine.
Harrison Stockton learns this
lesson all too well. Harrison has lived an adult life of privilege and
excess: a
high-powered job on Wall Street along with a fondness for alcohol and pills, and
a family he adores, yet has no time for. All of this comes crashing
to a halt when he loses his executive job and discovers he has liver cirrhosis
with mere months left to live.
After finding himself far down
on the donor list, Harrison takes matters into his own hands. This decision
sparks a gritty and gripping quest that takes him to the slums of Mumbai in
search of a black market organ and forces him under the Desire Card’s thumb.
When his moral descent threatens his wife and children, Harrison
must decide whether to save himself at any cost, or do what’s right and put a
stop to the Card.
THE
DESIRE CARD is a taut international thriller
that explores what a man will do to survive when money isn’t always enough to
get everything he desires. It’s the first book in a series followed by PREY NO
MORE that focuses on other people indebted to this sinister organization, where
the actual price is the cost of one’s soul.
PRAISE:
"Careful
what you wish for, especially from a nefarious shadow organization, in this
gripping start to Lee Matthew Goldberg's fast-paced, highly compelling, buzz
worthy new series. If you love characters morally compromised, richly drawn,
and constantly surprising, you'll love THE
DESIRE CARD. I burned through the first book and can't wait to get my hands
on PREY NO MORE to see where this endlessly exciting story takes me next! Loved
it!” - Daniel Palmer, critically acclaimed suspense author

Welcome to Nuttin’ But Books. Tell us a little about you
and your writing background?
I’ve been a writer my whole life. I got an MFA from the New
School in ’06 and my first novel
Slow Down came out in 2015. I’ve published three books now with my fourth
coming out soon.
Tell us about your book?
It’s about an organization called the Desire Card that
promises “Any Wish Fulfilled for the Right Price” although the price is always
more menacing than the clients expect.
What is a regular writing day like for you?
I edit in the mornings and then write from 1 to 5. If the
weather is nice I write under a tree in Central Park.
How long on average does it take you to write a book?
Depends on the book, one has taken me ten years, another has
taken forty days.
What is the usual response when you tell a new
acquaintance that you’re an author?
People are always very interested. It’s a weird career.
What do you do on those days you don’t feel like writing?
Do you force it or take a break?
I try to write every weekday. If I need a day off, I always
take it. Go see a play, a movie, go to a museum, meet up with friends.
What would you do if people around you didn’t take your
writing seriously or see it as a hobby?
I don’t really care. I work my ass off and I don’t do it for
them.
Some authors seem to have a love-hate relationship to
writing. Can you relate?
I love writing, the business end of it I sometimes hate.
Do you think success as an author must be linked to
money?
It’s something I will forever grapple with.
What has writing taught you?
Be dedicated, follow your dreams, explore your creativity.
