ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Robert is an award-winning author of over a thousand published articles and short stories. He is currently a contributing editor for New Man magazine. His work has appeared in Reader's Digest, Travel & Leisure, Modern Bride, Consumers Digest, Chief Executive, and The Arizona Daily Star, among other publications. In addition, he previously worked as a celebrity journalist, interviewing Stephen King, Tom Clancy, Charlton Heston, and others for magazines such as Rocky Road, Preview, and L.A. Weekly.

Robert is an avid scuba diver, swimmer, reader, traveler, and a law enforcement and military enthusiast. He lives in Colorado with his wife and four children.

Robert's first novel painted a scenario so frighteningly real that six Hollywood producers were bidding on movie rights before the novel was completed. His acclaimed debut novel, Comes A Horseman, is being made into a major motion picture by producer Mace Neufeld and his short story "Kill Zone" was featured in the anthology Thriller, edited by James Patterson.

Bob has sold the film rights to his second book, GERM. And he is writing the screenplay for a yet-to-be-written political thriller, which sold to Phoenix Pictures, for Andrew Davis (The Fugitive, The Guardian) to direct!

He is currently working on his fourth novel.

ABOUT THE BOOK:

Deep in the isolated Northwest Territories, four friends are on the trip of a lifetime. Dropped by helicopter into the Canadian wilderness, Hutch, Terry, Phil, and David are looking to escape the events of a tumultuous year for two weeks of hunting, fishing, and camping.

Armes with only a bow and arrow and the basics for survival, they've chosen a place far from civilization, a retreat from their turbulent lives. But they quickly discover that another group has targeted the remote region and the secluded hamlet of Fiddler Falls for a more menacing purpose: to field test the ultimate weapon.

With more than a week before the helicopter rendezvous and no satellite phone, Hutch, a skilled bow-hunter and outdoor-survivalist must help his friend elude their seemingly inescapable foes, as well as decide whether to run for their lives...or risk everything to help the townspeople who are being held hostage and terrorized.

An intense novel of character forged in the midst of struggle, survival, and sacrifice. Deadfall is highly-aclaimed author Robert Liparulo's latest rivetingly smart thriller.

Shares how he came to know Jesus Christ, a personal witness:
I was raised Catholic and even wanted to be a priest when I was nine. During my teen years I had a falling out with Catholicism-more my issues than the Church’s.

I had a friend who was protestant and some of the things he believed resonated with me much more deeply than what I’d been taught. Still, I didn’t think embrace his faith and didn’t trust my own.

So I sort of wandered in the desert for a number of years.

I married young and never really brought God into our marriage, except superficially, and my wife was raised agnostic. In our fifth year of marriage, my wife decided she wanted out.

The news hit me hard, because I truly didn’t see it coming. I went into my home office and cried out to God: “Why?”

He answered as clearly as though I’d heard Him with my ears instead of my heart and head. He said, “Because I am not in your life.”

I immediately went to my wife and asked for a month to make it right. She reluctantly agreed. I asked her to go talk to a pastor with me. He spoke to us for about two hours, about God and marriage, faith and love. The next day, we attended service. God touch both of our hearts (I think because we sought Him) with urgency, power and permanence. Within five days, my wife broke down crying, asking for forgiveness for wanting to dissolve our marriage; I asked for forgiveness for not bringing God into our lives. She asked God into her heart and I recommitted myself.
We’ve been strongly reliant on God ever since. We celebrate our 23rd anniversary this week.

God is great! Blessings.
