In the Dailies: Another new author!

Another new author!

Hey, folks! I want to introduce you to another new author, Mike Dellosso. I can truly relate to his writer beginnings. As he puts it, Mike's "birth as a writer was as sudden and soul-wrenching as ... [his] birth as a Christian." He wrestled with God. Life wasn't turning out the way he expected, so to process this and to seek answers, he started writing. Before then he had never considered writing. He didn't even like it. But God blessed his talents and through much effort and perseverance, Mike's work has been well received.

Several of his short stories and articles have been featured in a number of publications, and his first book, The Hunted, is being released on June 3rd. (It's already available on Amazon. See the link below to purchase it now.) You can get a FREE autographed book flat if you're one of the first twenty people to sign up for his newsletter during his blog tour (today through June 2nd). Here's a link to do that. Be sure to put "blog tour" in the comments field.

This guy has been compared to Frank Peretti and Stephen King, both phenomenal authors. If you like either of them, you'll like this. Here's a synopsis.

A town’s deadly secret will drive one man to the edge of his faith. After learning of the disappearance of his nephew, Joe Saunders returns to his childhood home of Dark Hills. With rumors spreading of a rogue lion roaming the woods, he embarks on a mission to learn the truth. As he peels away the layers of Dark Hills, he discovers a secret that has been shrouded for three generations in a deadly code of silence. Will his young faith be strong enough to battle the demonic forces behind it?

Now, I haven't read the book, just parts of it. I admit it! It's a too scary for me. *grin* But for those of you who enjoy the thriller genre, I guarantee you won't be disappointed with this. Mike is an excellent author. To learn more about him, visit his website: http://www.mikedellosso.com/.
