David Klass's Blurbs

About me:
My new book, WHIRLWIND -- a thriller with an environmental theme -- will be released by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in April 2008. FIRESTORM, the first book of the Caretaker Trilogy, will come out simultaneously in paperback from Square Fish. Warner Bros. is developing FIRESTORM for a feature film.

I was born in Vermont and raised in Leonia, New Jersey. After graduating from Yale I taught English in Atami, Japan. When my first novel, THE ATAMI DRAGONS, was published by Scribners and optioned for a movie, I went to Hollywood. I have published 15 novels including YOU DON'T KNOW ME, and written 40 screenplays for different Hollywood studios, including "Kiss the Girls" for Paramount and "Walking Tall" for MGM. Literary Agent: Aaron Priest Screenwriting Agent: Jason Spitz at Endeavor

l\|$\|l ChULo TuYo l\|$\|l	Jul 9 2008 6:38 PM Finally i got Whirlwind and read it >_<! I read it and 2 days and it was a real good book just like Firestorm was... and Dark Angel.. and Dangerzone... and anyways lol It had extremely exciting parts that, how they say, kept me off my seat. And the "almost sex scenes" (as i call them haha) are erotic. (I think i used the right word... well u get the point) BUT... One question. When is jack gonna get some -_-

stolpy	Mar 29 2008 3:36 PM hey i just wanted to comment on ur book firestorm and the second one i picked them up and couldnt put them down, i read both in one day and i must say that they are my favorite books and im going to die for the wait for the third one thanks alot -justin-
fork in a toaster	Mar 21 2008 4:06 AM The day after I picked up YOU DON'T KNOW ME, I had the book practically memorized. It takes a lot for a book to capture me so well, meaning the book became an instant hit amongst all of my friends. Thanks for the add.
Joanna Kenrick	Mar 14 2008 4:21 AM Hi David, thanks for the add! YOU DON'T KNOW ME is one of my favourite books - I will have to look out for the others! Best wishes, Jo
femi	Mar 6 2008 3:51 PM Hey David, wow you are one of my heroes :) I would love to read all your books someday. I thought whirlwind would be out this March and not April...hmm anyway I just have to wait. I really like the way you think. I would love to see a film made to most of your novels. Brilliant!
Coley	Mar 3 2008 9:46 PM Love your books David!!
