One of the many things that I love about having
Confessions of a Reviewer is getting the opportunity to meet and interact with
new people in the writing world.
One person that has proved time and time again to be a
top bloke and ardent supporter of Confessions is the one and only David Dubrow.
I first got to know David when I reviewed his book, The Blessed Man And The Witch back in
May of this year. Since then I would like to think we have become pretty good
friends and as I say he supports the blog by sharing every single post that I
publish.
For that I am eternally grateful and it’s about time I
gave something back! So here it is. The hot new cover for the second edition of
The Blessed Man And The Witch!
This new edition not only features the new cover but also
includes an excerpt of the hotly anticipated sequel, The Nephilim and the False Prophet which should be ready for
publication early next year.
I, for one, cannot wait for the sequel to come out. In the
first book, David paints a wonderful picture of a world in turmoil with good
old fashioned battles between good and evil. I urge to go pick up a copy if you
haven’t already. You will not regret it.

Blessed Man And The Witch here:
Although Dave's parents have maintained that he read The Chronicles of Narnia when he was
only four years old, he doesn't remember it, and the only evidence of their
claim is his reverence for lions and tendency to get lost for decades of
subjective time in wardrobes. Of his later youth little is known and less is
spoken of, save for the diving watch incident that still makes his older
brother crack up. Despite a love of reading and a family that placed great
value on scholarship, his academic career was distinguished by mediocrity; the
sheepskin he earned at Temple University should probably have an asterisk on it
somewhere.
His Puritan work ethic saw him through years of hard
labor in Philadelphia at thankless tasks, and the skills he acquired amaze
supermarket cashiers and assistant produce managers even today. Belatedly
heeding Horace Greeley's admonishment to "go west, young man," he
drove his beater in the direction of the setting sun and fetched up at the
foothills of the Rocky Mountains with few prospects and fewer friends.
It was in Colorado that he found the love of his life and
a career in publishing with "the most dangerous press in America," in
reverse order. Over a decade later, he condensed the techniques of combat
shooting, knife fighting, martial arts, and survival skills he'd learned
first-hand into a book titled, "The
Ultimate Guide to Surviving a Zombie Apocalypse." Lavishly illustrated
by a baker's half-dozen of talented artists, it was written under the pseudonym
F. Kim O'Neill and published by Paladin Press in 2010. Scott Kenemore, author
of "Zombie, Ohio" and "Zombie, Illinois," called it,
"One of the most capable and engaging how-to zombie survival books I've
encountered."
Eventually, the stories in his head needed to come out.
Eschewing the more old-fashioned technique of trepanning, he instead went
digital and began to write e-books. His first novel is titled "The Blessed Man and the Witch." The
beginning of a trilogy about a Biblical apocalypse, it addresses western
occultism, angelic phenomena, demonic possession, and the slow dissolution of
American society within a credible and original framework.
Dave, his wife, and their son now live on the west coast
of Florida, swatting alligators and wrestling mosquitoes. He is hard at work on
the sequel to "The Blessed Man and
the Witch."
