Hope you had a great New Year celebration!

January is starting with a bang. We met with the Brown Baggers Book Club of Warren, Michigan, this month. They're a great group who had some nice things to say about Dead Lock.

We appeared on Michigan Magazine TV on the 17th. If you missed the show, you can view it by going to michiganmagazine.com and clicking on Ustream. Then click on the show: number 1703.

The MM program, hosted by Barry Stutesman, is a great showcase for all things Michigan.

And, check out February's Traverse Magazine. It's a glossy, high-quality magazine that features northern Michigan in all its splendor. The February issue will contain a story by yours truly, highlighting the role of the Soo Locks in WWII. It's great background for Dead Lock.

Speaking of novels, there's a sequel to Freeze Frame in the works called Lady Killer. In it, Darcy James returns to help track down a serial killer in Oakland County, Michigan.

And Kate Brennan fans will like her return in Detroit Times. Kate comes back to the "Arsenal of Democracy" where she uncovers a Nazi plot to sabotage Allied bombers.

Both Freeze Frame and Dead Lock are available as Kindle books. And Dead Lock is waiting for you in paperback.

As always, thanks for visiting this web site. Come back often ... and please sign my guest book.

Regards,

B. David

DEAD LOCK

While this is Dave Warner's second novel, he's no stranger to the world of fiction, having written advertising copy for products from beers to banks and from cars to candy bars. He's at home in virtually every medium from novels and television to radio, print, outdoor and direct mail. He is even more at home in Clarkston, Michigan, where he lives with his wife, Marlene. Warner is a graduate of Michigan State University, where he majored in advertising and journalism.

THE NORTH WOODS

Northern Michigan has been my second home for as long as I can remember. Camping with my family at Otsego State Park, visiting the Hawes at their Otsego Lake vacation home, touring the U.P. to see Tahquamenon Falls, the Soo Locks and the courthouse where they filmed Anatomy of a Murder.

And finally, as a senior in high school, spending summer days at my parent's cottage near Gaylord. The cottage now owned by my sister's family and mine.

I've grown to love the feel of pine needles and sandy soil beneath my bare feet. Of campfires at lake side, staring up into a sky so filled with stars that they seem to blend together.

This is the north country I love so much that I had to set part of my first novel there.
