David Baldacci: On the Web

David’s novel The Collectors is reviewed briefly on A Year of Books blog.

This is the first book I have ever read by this author.

David is mentioned in an article about Virginian of the Year titled “Press Association Names ‘The Hokie Nation’ Virginian of the Year” in the Richmond Times-Dispatch. David was named the 2003 Virginian of the Year by the Virginia Press Association.

David is featured in an article titled “Thrilling World of Writing” in the Hartford Courant. The article highlights David’s speaking engagement at the Mark Twain House and Museum on Monday, March 3.

At his talk Monday, Baldacci says he will discuss “my love affair with Mark Twain and what his writing meant to me” while growing up in Virginia, and he also promises to tell some amusing stories.

David’s novel Stone Cold is reviewed in a post on Beth’s Reading List blog.

All I can say is BRAVO David Baldacci!!! Read this one for sure – but not before you have read The Camel Club and The Collectors!!!

David is mentioned as author of Wish You Well, Winchester’s 2006 One Book One Community selection, in an article titled “Top Circulators” in The Winchester Star.

In the adult fiction category, Lee Smith’s “On Agate Hill” topped the list with 226 checkouts. This was the One Book One Community selection for 2007. Smith’s work topped the 2006 One Book selection, which was “Wish You Well” by David Baldacci, checked out 88 times.

David is mentioned as writer of Absolute Power, the novel that William Goldman adapted for a feature film of the same title, in an article title “What the Fat Kid Doesn’t Always Stay in the Picture” in the Irish Independent.

William Goldman in his entertaining memoir, Which Lie did I Tell?, tells an anecdote about adapting David Baldacci‘s Absolute Power to the screen, to be directed by Clint Eastwood. He agonised for months over the multiple characters in the book and the fact that one of them, cat burglar Luther, dies part of the way through, which presented him with a problem as Clint Eastwood wanted to play not the detective hero of the novel, but the bad guy himself.

David’s novel Absolute Power receives a positive review in a post titled “Take a Break from the Political Race with Political Fiction!” on Reader’s Blog, the West Fargo [ND] Public Library’s blog.

Do yourself a favor: turn off the CNN and pick up “Absolute Power” by Baldacci. This was Baldacci’s first novel and it’s worth a re-read…

David is mentioned among other recipients of the 2008 Virginian of the Year award in an article titled “2008 Virginian of the Year Award Goes to ‘The Hokie Nation’” on OurValley.org.

Previous winners include NASCAR driver Ricky Rudd; entertainers Bruce Hornsby, Ralph Stanley, Roy Clark, June Carter Cash, and Tim and Daphne Maxwell Reid; former Gov. Mills E. Godwin Jr.; television personalities Willard Scott and Spencer Christian; and authors David Baldacci and William Styron.

David’s work is mentioned in a post titled “What Weather! What a Castle!” on the Orlando Sentinal’s “Central Florida Outdoors” blog.

I have to admit I did nothing but sprawl a blanket out in my back yard and lay down and catch some rays in the sun and read my David Baldacci novel.

David’s work is mentioned in a review of several thriller novels titled “Thrill Ride” in the Chicago Tribune. David is mentioned in the review of Stalked by Brian Freeman.

Freeman’s latest should be on the to-read list of anyone who enjoys novels by authors like Harlan Coben, David Baldacci and Jeff Abbott — a perfect blend of psychological suspense and crime fiction.
