Two more days left until my new novel will be released.

A book trailer will follow on YouTube at 1:00pm eastern. I’m doing a giveaway as well – a free ebook for a limited time, so stay tuned for what’s coming!!

Here’s a quick synopsis: Travel to a future of blood sacrifice, demons, witchcraft, and an immoral God that has returned to reclaim his former dominion.

And I have some amazing quotes from a couple of very talented authors:

“Beautifully written, dark and eerie vision of an apocalyptic future.”
– Margaret Weis, New York Times Bestselling Author

“David H. Burton is a dark new talent in the genre. This one will make you leave the lights on for a week!”
– USA Today Bestseller, Cathy Clamp

Dockers Should Be Ashamed

I shouldn’t have to explain why the below ad is shameful. I appreciate the nostalgia, but when you equate the lack of manliness/masculinity with a decline in society, there’s a big problem with how you see the world. The worth of a man is not measured by how/where he dances, the type of coffee he drinks, the food he eats, the clothes he wears, his looks, his assertiveness, the cleanliness of his hands, and certainly not by the pants he wears. The worth of a man is measured the same as that of a woman: by how they act as a human being, by inner strength and courage in the face of adversity, and by how they treat others.

Shame on Dockers for this.

The TEDIndia video below is in two parts. It’s brilliant and so is the inventor of SixthSense, Pranav Mistry. I hope to see this in the future.

A Glimpse Inside My Novel

I can’t speak for other authors as to whether they listen to music when they write. I do. And for my fantasy writing I often listen to Evanesence. Here are a couple of videos that give you a sense of the darkness of my first book. (And for the record, I’ve only just seen these videos for the first time today and realized how well they seem to capture parts of the story. It was the anguish in the music that really helped me to bring out the dark elements in the novel.)

Call Me When You’re Sober

Good Enough

Sweet Sacrifice

I wish there was a video for Lacrymosa which I think is the best track on the album.

As a side note, if you are interested in reading the first chapter, I’ve posted it here. It’s dark fantasy and if you’re a devout Muslim/Christian/Jew you will likely be offended.
