Now It Can Be Told
Well, since it was announced on Publishers Marketplace, I suppose I can announce it here.
I have agreed to a two book deal with Jason Pinter and Three Rivers Press (Crown Publishing.)
This is very very exciting for me. As in yesterday was one of the best days of my life.
Here's the official announcement:
Fiction:
Debut Derringer Award-winning author Dave White's WHEN ONE MAN DIES, featuring New Jersey P.I. Jackson Donne, in a very nice deal, in a two-book deal, to Jason Pinter at Three Rivers Press, by Allan Guthrie at Jenny Brown Associates (World).

Huge congrats, Dave. Paul Giamatti would be proud.
Absolutely fantastic news, and very well deserved.
Now we need to go to Dinosaur to celebrate.
Now that you've been published, can the Yankees go in the toilet? We'll call it even.
By the way, Satan sends his regards.
Congats!! But only one of the most important days of your life? What could be better?
i'm shocked, truly. with that pile of crap you call a book...oh who am I kidding. i can't rip on you for this. this is brilliant. i suppose now i can brag about it?
Even I'm impressed. Congratulations.
This is so incredibly awesome in so many ways.

YES....A big congrats from Los Angeles, oh shit, was that an earthquake (reading the blog and high fiving the air).
Congratulations, Dave. This is fantastic news. Really looking forward to reading your books.
Awesome news. Congratulations!
Most excellent news, Dave, you rock! Best of luck to you and Jackson.
By coincidence I just read the Donne story in DAMN NEAR DEAD last night.
congrats. Loved your story in Damn Near Dead. Made me sad, but loved it. Nice that someone so young could feel sentiment. I thought that only kicked in after 40.
congrats
Very cool. I had a long day and needed a smile and this really fits the bill.
So, at bouchercon, maybe import beer instead of Coors Light?
And Crimespree might be buying you some bubbly....
Excellent.
Now the REAL work begins........(insert sinister laughter)............congrats!
HUGE congrats, buddy!
YEEEEEEEE-HAH!
(in other words, congratulations.)
Not to out do Aldo - but a huge congrat from bustling Walnut.
Well deserved, Dave.

Very, very cool. It couldn't happen to a nicer guy. I can't wait to read it.
A well deserved congrats Dave!
Congratulations, and may you have many more sales to come!
Congrats, Dave! Can't wait to read it.
Dave, well done. I saw the notice on Publishers Marketplace.
Hurrah! Wonderful news, Dave.
congrats!
I'll be looking for that book (recommended to me last night by Laura Lippman)
I wish to express my cordial congratulations on groceries well bagged, a suit well-tailored, a bottle well-guzzled, a chicken well-marinated, a picture well-framed, a tenant well-evicted, and, of course, this modest business of the novel.
Well isn't this exciting! In fact I haven't been this excited since I heard about the release of Advances in Veterinary Dermatology: Proceedings of the 1st World Congress of Veterinary Dermatology, Dijon, 1989. Believe you me, that is a great read.
By the way, Bryon Quertermous spelled "Congrats" wrong on his post. All you writers should have your editors check each thread you post, IMO.

WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT? Now that you've hit the big time, Mr. White, you have to take some criticism. My nemesis David White has finally made it. Either that or you're really in a coma right now having the most sublime dream before your final breath. I bet the latter.
OK back to the book. Now I am not going to say how, but I did receive a copy of "How One Man Dies" already. Let me point out some interesting details about the book:
1. It will be printed in size 2 font. Crown Publishing does not like to take risks with new authors. Perhaps by the 7th book it will be more than 24 pages.
2. It is a Choose Your Own Adventure series. Follow Jackson Donne as he FOLLOWS THE TRAIL ASIDE THE RIVER. go to pg 48; AGREES TO HELP THE OLD WOMAN WITH THE ORBS. go to pg 86; or RETURN BACK TO THE OLD INN WITH KRANK THE TURTLE. go to pg. 95.
3. The book is in Latin. The actual title of the book is: Is Libri Est Atrox.
4. It must be stated that the inhumane aspect of Dave White's demands will create a stir between mingy blackguards and the shiftless public at large. What follows is the story of how Dave can be so rich in the rhetoric of democracy and yet so poor in its implementation. He is like a stray pigeon. Pigeons are too self-absorbed to care about anyone else. They poo on people they don't like; they poo on people they don't even know. The only real difference between Dave and a pigeon is that Dave intends to take over society's eyes, ears, mind, and spirit. That's why Dave's occasional demonstrations of benevolence are not genuine. Nor are his promises. In fact, Dave's a psychologically defective person. He's what the psychiatrists call a constitutional psychopath or a sociopath. Until we address this issue, we will never move beyond it.
and finally:
5. If you read a couple threads down, Dave remembers writing his comic book, The Raccoon, in his youth. This book is actually borrowed from one of those plots. Let me ruin that said plot:
Jackson Donne must stop four women who were once part of a "Rockette" type group. Aptly named "The Kickette's", Jackson battles the strong legged women in a fight for the entire world's safety. Also making an appearance is Stone Heart.
As much I am do bash Mr. White and his terrible ideals I do need to congratulate him. But not on his book deal. On the fact that I heard he has stopped having to mash up his pills into apple sauce, and he can now take half an aspirin with a glass of water.
Do I think I'll be ordering the book? I am not quite sure yet. I am on a huge Julia Quinn kick right now.
Good Job Mr. White. Now if you want to WAKE UP FROM THIS COMA, turn to pg. 93; SLEEP IN ETERNITY, turn to pg. 114; CAMP OVERNIGHT UNDER THE ORANGE WATERFALL, turn to pg. 84.
-You turn to pg. 84-
YOU ARE ATTACKED BY TOXIN HORRORS, HIDING IN THE WATERFALL, IN YOUR SLEEP. YOU DIE. TURN BACK TO PAGE 1.
Great stuff, mate! (Slightly belatedly, but I've been denied access to the Intarwub since Thursday morning.)
I just emerged from my cave. Congrats!
gCongrats!! Woohoo!!
