I will take your 3.5, sir.

Here's a short review of my story in Postscripts #19:

"The Cacto Skeleton by David T. Wilbanks

A reminder to take your meds! Otherwise, you'll have to chase down that skeleton that was once buried in your yard. (3.5/5)"


Don't ever be afraid to speak up and tell me how I'm doing.

Steven Savile's SILVER

A fine writer and friend Steve Savile has just published a religious thriller in the Da Vinci Code mold, only with more action and intrigue. It's a novel that's accumulating tons of great blurbs, so allow me to step back and let the others do the talking. At the end you'll find an Amazon link so you can pick up a copy for yourself.

Reviews
:

"The mix of history, suspense, and action in Silver is a perfect combination for those DaVinci Code fans looking for another electrifying read combining Biblical history with modern-day Armageddon."
-- Douglas Preston, NY Times bestselling author of IMPACT and BLASPHEMY

"SILVER is a wild combination of Indiana Jones, The Da Vinci Code, and The Omen. Read this book...before the world ends."
-- Kevin J Anderson, international bestselling author of THE SAGA OF SEVEN SUNS and coauthor of PAUL OF DUNE

"Move over Dan Brown! Steven Savile's coming for you and he's got a silver dagger!"
-- Stel Pavlou, international bestselling author of DECIPHER and GENE

"With SILVER, Steven Savile has delivered a stunning and bold thriller that sheds new light on the world of terror and uncovers a dark history that rocks the foundations of the modern world. A must read!"
-- Jeremy Robinson, author of PULSE and ANTARKTOS RISING

"Reminiscent of James Rollins and David Morrell, but with an edginess all his own, Savile really satisfies with Silver."
-- Joe Nassise, international bestselling author of THE TEMPLAR CHRONICLES

Silver grabs you by the throat and doesn't let go. Steven Savile has crafted a complex, thrilling read that will leave readers begging for more. Silver is pure gold.
-- Debbie Viguie, co-author of the NY Times bestselling WICKED series

"Start with a measure of ancient religious speculation, add a spoonful of high-tech modern espionage, stir in a motley group of intriguing characters, blend in a liberal quantity of apocalyptic terror plots, sprinkle with chills and thrills, and finally mix with damned fine writing...and you have SILVER. A non-stop read!"
--Raymond Benson, author of the James Bond anthologies THE UNION TRILOGY and CHOICE OF WEAPONS

"If you love international thrillers replete with theological puzzles and a team pitted against true evil that mirrors our world today you won't beat SILVER. Steven Savile is in complete control of his material and not afraid of a complex plot. [He] beats Dan Brown hands down... Masterfully accomplished."
--Robert Walker, author of the INSTINCT and RANSOM series

"With the spine-tingling, brilliantly conceived SILVER, Steven Savile eclipses Dan Brown and various imitators of THE DA VINCI CODE. His new take on previously accepted gospel breathes new life into the tired religious-thriller, establishing him as a force to be reckoned with in the genre, placing him in the rarefied air of Steve Berry and James Rollins. The impossible-to-put-down SILVER is flat-out gold."
-- Jon Land, bestselling author of STRONG ENOUGH TO DIE and THE SEVEN SINS

"With SILVER, Steven Savile delivers a barn-storming tale of action, intrigue and suspense in a plot laced with ancient secrets and modern terror. His 'small heresy' will light the spark of debate as surely as anything delivered by Dan Brown. Savile writes like a charm...a SILVER charm."
-- Matt Hilton, author of the Joe Hunter thrillers (DEAD MAN'S DUST and JUDGEMENT AND WRATH)

"SILVER is everything I want in a thriller. History, ancient prophecy, religion, conspiracy, chases in exotic locales, and a Mission:Impossible-like team that brings it all into focus. Hardcore excitement. I can't wait to bring home the GOLD."
-- Author Magazine

BLIND PANIC by Graham Masterton

A new Graham Masterton novel always brings a big smile to my face. You can tell he has fun writing them and that's the reason I enjoy reading them. This one, BLIND PANIC, is a new addition to the Manitou cycle. Yes, that big, bad medicine man Misquamacus, with his powerful and unholy magic, is back again for vengeance against zany Harry Erskine--and a lot of the rest of us as well. Read more about this, and other fine Masterton books, at his website: Graham Masterton.

Here's an interview I did with GM quite recently for the Dunderthome! forum: Link to interview.

Enjoy.

Update

I thought I'd post because I haven't lately. There's not really much going on right now. I just sent off a story to an online site. Other than that, I'm working on novels.

In other news, I've decided to delete my Facebook and Twitter accounts because I don't think they're doing much to help me, though I did meet a few cool people while playing around on them. Other than that, it was pretty much a waste of time and I don't have much time to waste.

Till next time.

Quick Rec - The Black Rider by Max Brand

The second novella moves slowly, but the other two are mighty fine and the short short is good too. For the other lovers of Brand out there. You are out there, aren't you?
