Author Dean Sault lives in Northern California with his wife and her menagerie of pets. Every day for the past thirty-five years, he could not wait to shut down his insurance office, so he could spend time with his family, go fishing, or retreat into his private world of writing fictional places and people. His novels accumulated in folders, file cabinets and clipboards, while waiting for that special moment when he could burst onto the world of literature.
In 2007, severe vertigo took away Sault's beloved avocation of bass fishing and writing for Inside Line magazine. Sault refused to let vertigo stand in the way of his love of writing. He decided to dust off his stories and share his literary creations with the world.
He began by publishing his science fiction space opera, The Last Human War. This was the first step of his literary journey. He loved meeting with fans and discussing the complex worlds he created, so he dug into his pile of manuscripts and began offering them to agents. A New York agent quickly picked up his thriller, Jihad: the Breath of God, and so it began. His stories screamed for attention, and a flood of novels began rising to the surface.
After twenty years of writing in the dark, Sault was ready to step out and share his work with the world! He says, "2013 will be the year my readers experience a diversity of genres I've kept hidden from the world. From sci-fi to western romance, some with paranormal elements, this will be an exciting year."
Sault brings his unique writing style to every story he creates. With crisp, fast-paced prose, he employs Hemingway-like simplicity as he weaves complex characters into fascinating worlds. Readers often comment that once begun, they cannot put his books down. "I learned this skill, believe it or not, from writing bass fishing articles and columns for Inside Line magazine during the time when I chased professional fishing and guiding," Sault says. "In fact, many of the stories we are making available to readers today, found their beginnings in dusty motel rooms, late at night, while at distant bass tournaments."
This breakout author shows promise to be one of the great writers of our time. From action-adventure to terror in his thrillers, his masterful handling of fast-paced prose compares with great writers like Tom Clancy and HG Wells. His western-romances share the strong pacing, but they slow at just the right moments to build touching love connections that tug at the readers' heartstrings.
This was a hold-on-to-your-seat adventure from page one. The characters were engaging and the story, completely new. Loved the vivid battle scenes, the heartfelt relationships and the well structured histories. I couldn't put it down for long. Great Read!
