Christian thriller novelist Mike Dellosso knows all about living through nightmares. Here’s the gripping story behind his stories.
Mike Dellosso believes in monsters. He’s seen them. They’ve shown up in the eyes of an alcoholic loved one, a daughter battling a rare blood disorder and his own bout with colon cancer. He’s had to fight them for his life, and he hasn’t always been sure who was winning. But now that he’s faced his worst fears and lived to tell about it, he refuses to look away.
For the last three years, those monsters have been showing up in his supernatural thrillers as beasts that roam dark woods (Darlington Woods), towns with dangerous secrets (The Hunted) and otherworldy screams that warn of untimely deaths (Scream). His fourth novel, Darkness Follows, about a heartless killer and the secrets unearthed through an old Civil War journal, released in May. read more
Because of my busy writing schedule I don’t read as much
as I’d like, but I do enjoy reading while traveling. While flying
recently I opened up Lisa Wingate’s Talk of the Town
(Bethany House). I’d never read a Wingate book but was immediately
pulled in by her quirky characters. It was honestly laugh-out-loud funny
and exactly what I needed at that moment in my life. It gave me a whole
new respect for lighthearted romance because there are times when
laughter truly is the best medicine! I emailed Lisa later and thanked
her for writing such a refreshingly fun book.
