About me:
Heart of Diamonds has just been released! As one Amazon reviewer said, it's a romantic thriller with “...enough sometimes-bloody action and intense suspense to please the most demanding thriller addict.”
Sparks were struck at Kunati Books by my new novel, Heart of Diamonds, a thriller that is now available at bookstores everywhere. In Heart of Diamonds, star TV reporter Valerie Grey risks her life--and her love--to expose a diamond smuggling scheme involving a celebrity televangelist, an African dictator, and possibly the White House. It happens while she's on assignment in the Congo, where life itself is brutal and the censuring eyes of civilization have long been blinded.
HUNTING ELF

Thanks for the friend invite. Good luck on your writing!
Keep your eyes out for my YA fantasy novel, Paraworld Zero. It hit the BarnesAndNoble.com bestseller list and placed in several contests. Reviewers are calling it a "Harry Potter meets Star Wars!"
Thanks for your interest in my book. It's a story that melds Native American ways with the shamanic traditions of Old Europe and Tibet. The drama involves medicine workers grappling against alien spirits in the realm of altered states consciousness.
Some people reach out to the mystical. And sometimes it’s the mystical that reaches out and pulls people in.
CALL OF THE FORBIDDEN WAY
“A wonderful thriller from the world of shamanism and sacred plants.” Luis Eduardo Luna Ph.D Author of Vegetalismo

Hi Dave, It is always a pleasure to meet a fellow writer. Good luck on your "Heart of Diamonds" book. I read "Heart of Darkness" many years ago. When you have time, check out my blog of philosophical papers including one on individuality. All my best, Richard Poirier
It's great to meet you, Dave. I've just been looking at your blog and it's amazing. Everybody needs to read it and inform themselves about the horrors occuring in Africa.
