David Joseph Silas is an extraordinary author. Unique in many aspects, but more none more so than his ability to create characters, plots and story lines so true to life that as you as the reader become intensely consumed to the point of feeling as if you are apart of the story. His character dialog and descriptive methods are phenomenal; you have no choice but to become emotionally involved. He is a story telling genius with endless capabilities. Unlike most authors, he is not limited to one genre. He has been quoted as saying "I want a #1 bestseller in more categories than any other author." And if his debut novel "Da Block" is any indication of works to come, he is well on his way. As an African American author with extensive exposure to the streets: Gangs, Drugs, Violence, Money, Jail, Betrayal and an addiction to them all that can only be summed up as "A Love for the Game", he is second to none when it comes to bringing readers into his world. Experience has been an exceptional teacher to him. Women have played a monumental role in his life, and his love and admiration for them is evident in the depictions of such strong female characters, and his ability to mirror emotional, sexual, and mental states that influence their decisions. We truly recommend his follow up novels: "What Loves Sees", "Sexapades", "Love, Lust, Relationships" etc... He is truly an author who is worth getting to know and love. David J Silas welcomes you to his simple yet complex mind frame. In leaving, a quote from the author: "I aspire to inspire all who have ever been told that greatness is out of their reach because of the circumstances or situation they are either in, or have been in. Only one individual dictates your success; You!"
