As you may have heard by now one of Montana’s own is a newly published author.

Tony has written a novel which is difficult to explain. Waking Lazarus is a mystery, a supernatural thriller and a real page-turner. This is the type of book you will have a difficult time putting down because every chapter ends with a new twist compelling you find out what happens next. This is Tony’s first published novel and I can’t wait for number two. With all the twists and turns throughout the story as soon as I thought I had the plot figured out another spin left me wondering where the story was headed.

The hero, Jude Allman, is difficult to like in the beginning but you end up rooting for him as the story progresses. Jude is asocial with more demons than I would wish on an enemy. While his quirks, fears and prescience make him a cross between Adrian Monk and Johnny Smith you can’t help but like him, in a fish out of water sort of way. Jude starts out a fairly unlikable fellow but his metamorphosis into a more “human” person is believable.

I truly enjoyed this novel and I think you’ll be doing yourself a disservice by not picking up a copy for yourself and a few more for Christmas gifts. Don’t wait for your local library to purchase their copy get your’s today.

UPDATE from David: you can purchase “Waking Lazarus” over in the sidebar under the heading “Big Sky Bookstore.”
