Even the smallest towns can hide the biggest secrets

The new novel from Bryan Alaspa is his most explosive and action-packed yet. Filled with detailed characters and non-stop twists, turns and action Dust starts off running and never lets up until its explosive climax.

Bryan W. Alaspa is a freelance writer living in Chicago. While this would seem like enough to describe him, it does not exactly convey the passion with which he has written. Ever since he first sat down at his mother's electric typewriter in the third grade and typed out his first short story writing has been the one thing Bryan knew he not only wanted to do, but had to do.

Bryan took a few detours through things such as radio broadcasting and journalism. In addition he finds himself generally stuck in the tar-pit known as "human resources" on a day-to-day basis. Most recently Bryan has put aside his detours and distractions and once again focuses on the one thing that has been a passion.

Bryan's first novel was the science fiction epic The Ballad of the Blue Denim Gang. This was followed very closely by the murder mystery novel The Vanished Child. Bryan is a big believer in self-publishing and in writers being able to make their voices heard, especially when they do not fit neatly into one genre or another.

It took a few years but in 2004 Bryan wrote two novels in quick succession. Dust and Rig were both written over the course of about six months in 2004. Both have been available as eBooks only since then. In 2006 Dust was finally made available in a print version.

2006 also marks the time when Bryan returned to writing in earnest. He now writes humor and opinion columns for a website entitled The Church of Cynicism as well as other weblogs. Continuing to do things himself Bryan considers himself 'self-syndicated.' Bryan also has written restaurant reviews for online and print publication as well as sports articles. He has also branched out and written marketing materials for various clients as well as website content.

2007 looks to be a busy year again for Bryan. He plans to continue to expand his writing talents. Bryan will also release Rig in a print form sometime around Spring of 2007. Finally, Bryan is venturing for the first time into full-length non-fiction and writing a book about the haunted Lemp Mansion in St. Louis for Schiffer Publishing. That book should also be available in 2007

Bryan hopes to eventually write full-time and climb out of human resources. He has other projects in the works such as screenplays, comic books and teleplays. He still hopes to someday write the definitive novel about Chicago.
