My first novel, Beyond the Will of God, is available for purchase at Amazon's Kindle Store. If you're looking for something different to read this summer, this book is for you. It's part thriller, part mystery, part paranormal speculation, and part science fiction. There's romance and sex, of course -- just enough.

As always, Amazon's sample pages are available for you to read. Check it out. If you don't have a Kindle or an iPad with the Kindle, you can download an App for your computer or smartphone right here. Buy the book now to take advantage of introductory pricing.

Or share this with your social network.  Happy reading! David
