The main thing you need to know about me is that I am an avid reader myself and that I write what I love to read: action-packed, fast-paced, novels into which I try to inject a touch of humor and a bit of useful information about preparing for emergencies. Another thing you should know is that I honor my readers by trying my best to deliver an entertaining and complete tale in each novel. Even when I’m writing a trilogy or a series I will not leave you hanging because I never want my readers to feel cheated. Far from it. In an ideal world I want for you to look forward to my next novel with the same sense of eager anticipation I have at the release of each of my  favorite author's books. The major influences on my writing style comes from the authors I love to read: Louis L’Amour, Stephen King, Frank Herbert, J.R.R Tolkien and Elmore Leonard to name but a few.

R D White's first offering in The Dying Time trilogy, 'Impact', hits the mark bang on. White plays out the plot & character introduction slowly & carefully, even adding a character summary at the back of the novel for quick reference. (Why don't more authors do this?) The central character, Micheal Whitebear, is on par with other similar protagonists in this genre, ie: Lee Harden (The Remaining) & Bishop (Holding Their Own ) With 'Impact', White is vaulted into the upper ranks of survival authors such as D J Molles, Joe Nobody & others. Another well thought out addition is the product, site & publication appendix, in the novel, making it a go-to reference source. I'll be picking up book #2 'After The Dying Time' asap. It's that good.

A great read. Enjoyed it immensely. I have bought book two and will be hassling R.D.W for the final one. This guy writes very well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Jam packed with suspense and action!
I really enjoyed this book, thank goodness because I was wondering if I was burned out on PA fiction. But I'm not. Those other books books were just mediocre. This story is awesome. I have a hard time following multiple characters, and this book has multiple groups as well as multiple characters. But the author focused on each group enough times that I could remember them. The story takes you from the president's office upon the appearance of the asteroid through several years after impact and into the lives of the survivors on earth. The characters are so well developed that when one of the good ones gets killed, it pokes you in the gut. This novel is on the same level as Bobby Akart's for depth of scientific knowledge and intrigue. I will be reading book 2 tonight.
