Q&A With Underground Book Reviews

2/25/2016

I had a fun opportunity to do a Q&A with Yvonne Lieblein of Underground Book Reviews about all the research that goes into writing historical fiction, and how I got inspiration for my setting and characters.

We talk favorite books, favorite authors, and I give some teases about the next book I'm working on as part of the Burdens Series!

A nice review this week from Underground Book Reviews, an online book review magazine:

David Khalaf’s debut novel and the first book in THE BURDENS TRILOGY is an eclectic literary mashup — mystery mixed into urban fantasy with a backbeat of Hollywood’s Golden Age. While connecting the dots would be a tall order for a less talented raconteur, Khalaf delivers an engaging adventure grounded in the wondrous complexities of self-discovery and the power of friendship. Bonus: Francesca Baerald’s stellar illustrations.

During my research for The Burdens Series, I've come across a lot of strange Public Services announcement posters. It's fun to see not only what issues were of public concern in the 1930s and 40s, but how they presented the issues in ways that are sometimes  unintentionally comical. Here are some of my favorites:

Excited to share that The Sixteen Burdens has been selected as an Editor’s Choice for the Historical Novel Society, which means it will automatically be long-listed for the 2017 HNS Indie Award.

HNS describes The Sixteen Burdens as "an exciting and thrillingly inventive mash-up of historical fiction and urban fantasy, with crime-fiction and mystery elements stirred in...The result is a drama full of history, action, and quite a bit of deadpan humor, all of it delivered with winning confidence. This is an author and a series to watch."

If you've read either The Sixteen Burdens or Houdini's Last Trick, please consider leaving a review on both Goodreads and Amazon. That really helps to spread the word!
