David Baldacci: On the Web

David’s contribution to the collection Thrillers: 100 Must Reads is mentioned in a post titled “Thrillers: 100 Must Reads Released” on Best Thrillers.

The rankings, a grab-bag of action-oriented books ranging from Ancient Greece to modern American mass market fiction, are introduced through essays from modern-day genre stalwarts such as Lee Child, Barry Eisler and David Baldacci.

David’s contribution to the essay collection Thrillers: 100 Must Reads is mentioned in a Washington Post Book World review of the book.

Each of the chosen titles — one book per author — is accompanied by a brief biographical note, followed by a two- or three-page essay of reminiscence, analysis and appreciation by a member of ITW. Among the essayists are Lee Child, Sandra Brown, James Grady, R.L. Stine, David Baldacci, Katherine Neville and F. Paul Wilson.

David is mentioned among many other thriller writers in an article titled “ThrillerFest: The Pillars of the Publishing Industry” in The Huffington Post.

Yes, billion. Its membership lists a ‘who’s who’ of the crime writing world: James Patterson. David Baldacci. Lisa Scottoline. Sandra Brown. Brad Meltzer. Ken Follett. Clive Cussler.

David’s novel The Christmas Train is recommended holiday reading in a post titled “Favorite Books with Christmas Theme or Setting” on Scrapbook of Christmas Firsts.

Baldacci fans may not enjoy his foray into this lighter genre; however I found it to be the perfect lite fare for my holidays and even read it aloud to my husband on a long driving trip.

David’s contribution to the essay collection Thrillers: 100 Must Reads is mentioned in a post titled “100 Must Reads” on The Faculty Lounge.

The book examines 100 thrillers (beginning with a story penned in 1500 B.C., and concluding with a book published in 2003 that became one of the greatest bestsellers in recent history) through essay commentaries written by some of today’s most popular writers in the genre (e.g., David Baldacci, Lee Child, Tess Gerritsen, Sandra Brown, Steve Berry, Gayle Lynds, etc.).

David’s novel Divine Justice is reviewed in a post on Carolynn’s Bookshelf.

Baldacci writes thrillers that can’t be beat!

David, who is a contributing editor, publishes an article titled “Changing Lives Through Books” in the July 11 issue of Parade magazine. The article is part of the magazine’s “What America Cares About” series.

People often ask me how I got into writing. I love to read, I always answer. When I opened a book, I opened a world of possibilities. Then, when I began writing, I created my own possibilities. But when you can’t comprehend what’s inside a book, most possibilities vanish.

The enhanced e-book edition of David’s latest novel, Deliver Us From Evil, is mentioned in an article about the value of enhanced e-books titled “Enhanced E-books: The Added Value of Apps” on Suite101.com.

For those who are interested in how their favorite author crafts his tales, the EE will be able to include, for example, audio Questions and Answers, or video of the author’s office, or scans of story outlines. For the inquisitive reader, deleted passages from the manuscript could be included to provide more insider information on characters, lost subplots, or even, as in the case of David Baldacci’s Deliver Us From Evil EE, alternate endings.

David’s latest novel, Deliver Us From Evil, is reviewed in a post on Thoughts of the Smelmooo.

Action-packed, with little else to distract.
