It's been another great week! Quest has been well-received so far, and I appreciate all the positive feedback. If you haven't picked up your copy of this brand-new Dane Maddock adventure, you can get it in print, for Kindle, Nook, or in multiple e-formats.
Rick Chesler, author of the thrillers Wired Kingdom and KiDNApped, recently gave Quest this endorsement:
"The escapades of Wood's serial character, Dane Mad
dock, continue in high style with Quest, and all-out blitzkrieg of a globe-trotting mystery-adventure that breaks from the action just long enough for a couple of laughs."
If that's not enough Dane and Bones for you, we now have an official release date for The Game, the anthology in which my Dane and Bones short story, "Dark Entry," will appear. Look for it on August 16.
I was pleased to be a guest this week on the Dead Robots Society podcast. We discussed my publishing background, the Dane Maddock
Adventures, The Zombie-Driven Life, and my recent blog post on good and bad writing days. Dead Robots is a top-notch podcast, and it was a pleasure to spend time talking with them. You can click here to listen to the episode. Speaking of podcasts, Alan Baxter and I recently interviewed thriller author Sean Sweeney. You can listen to that interview on ThrillerCast.
I'm actually getting in some good reading time of late, and I'm enjoying A Dance With Dragons by George R.R. Martin. Even if you're not a fantasy reader, if you enjoy gritty medieval historical fiction, Martin's Song of Ice and Fire series just might be your gateway drug. I can't recommend it enough. In the thriller genre, I recently read 2012: The Fifth World by Edward G. Talbot. Lots of fun!
On a personal note, life is about to get wild and crazy for the Wood family. My wife recently accepted a crime lab position in Santa Fe, New Mexico. It's a great career move for her, and will be a great adventure for the family. I'll be working to get the house ready to sell, so let's hope real life doesn't bleed into my writing too heavily. No one wants to read about Bones hanging sheetrock or Dane replacing carpet. (Both are fun in their own way, but don't make for nail-biting thriller plots.)
Finally, I am, as usual, writing. I'm in the home stretch on Callsign: Queen, and am in the planning stages for two other projects, including the next Dane and Bones adventure. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and don't forget to like me on Facebook and follow me on Twitter.
All the best,
David

Listened to the podcasts. Great fun. Appears you had another very busy and successful week!
Heard your interview on DRS and just HAD to get Zombie-Driven Life. LOL. Sounds like a hoot.
Thanks! Hope you enjoy it.
Just finished your book Quest and enjoyed it very much. I'm looking forward to future Dane Maddock adventures.
