Shameless Promotion - However Long the Night

I have been told that a book does not sell on Amazon without at least 50 reviews posted there. I have tried in the past to give away review copies in exchange for a review, and had very few people follow through. This being the case, I would like to make the following offer:

The first 50 people to buy my new book, However Long the Night, and post a review on Amazon will have their full purchase price (up to regular retail price) refunded by me. The book can be purchased as an eBook from Eternal Press or Amazon, or as a paperback when available from Amazon, or from any other vendor or source.

Send a copy of your receipt, your name and address, along with the name you used to post the review, to me via email at davidmpereda@gmail.com or by mail to

David Pereda
600 Merrimon Ave #6F
Asheville, NC 28804

I will verify that the review has been posted (and will make sure nobody has yet claimed that review), and mail you a check for the full amount you paid including tax.

The Day Is Upon Us!

Dear family and friends,

I wanted to remind you that Eternal Press will release my new mainstream novel, However Long the Night, on February 7th. Winner of the Lighthouse Book Award for fiction and the Royal Palm Award for fiction, HLTN is a sizzling Romantic tale with a major dose of suspense, a tense love triangle, shocking family secrets, disgusting corporate shenanigans and a historical background.

Here’s a brief summary of the plot. Miami Architect and successful real estate developer Cid Milan suddenly realizes his whole life has been built on a lie told by his now dying father twenty-five years ago – willfully betraying Cid’s best friend, Joaquin, sending him to prison, and forsaking his pregnant girlfriend Sandra, causing her to be thrown out of her house by her parents. Overnight Cid’s life implodes. Trying to unravel the mystery of his own past, he realizes there’s only one thing he can do: return to the land he abandoned to right the wrongs committed. In his quest, Cid rediscovers himself and his roots as he reunites with Joaquin and searches frantically for Sandra and the secret she’s been keeping from him all these years: his son. In the process, Cid learns an invaluable lesson about love, forgiveness and redemption that changes his life forever.

However Long the Night is published by Eternal Press and is available in local bookstores and at amazon.com, eternalpress.biz, and davidpereda.com. It is also available as an e-book and on Amazon’s Kindle format. E-Book ISBN: 978-1-61572-598-4, Print Book ISBN: 978-1-61572-599-1
