UNBREAKABLE LOVE: The Brian Warren Story (Now Available from MegaArrowPress LLC)

In Uncategorized on December 13, 2012 at 7:52 am

I’m excited to announce the release of my latest book – UNBREAKABLE LOVE: The Brian Warren Story (MegaArrowPress, LLC 2013, All Rights Reserved).

Unbreakable Love is the story of one man’s unbreakable love for his daughter, and about God’s unbreakable love for him—despite his faults and failings as a man.

Screen shot 2013-02-25 at 10.22.31 AMKnown as “Mr. Unbreakable” in the ring and cage, Brian Warren has delivered, earning two title belts and battling some of the best fighters in the world, including UFC fighters Cung Le, Karo Parisyan, and Ben Saunders. And though Brian hasn’t always won—in life or the ring—his spirit remains unbreakable.

His is a story of courage, unwavering devotion, and a determination to rise from the ashes to stand once again a champion—this time to the glory of God, and for his beloved daughter, Breesa.

Brian’s story will inspire you to be a better man, a better father, a better disciple—and to never give up, not on yourself, and certainly not on your dreams.

If you would like to reserve an autographed copy, signed by Brian Warren himself, please use the contact form on this site to let me know. I will forward your info to the publisher.

JOHNNY (The Movie) — Original Screenplay Written By David M. Anthony

This screenplay won the $25,000 Grand Prize in the 2006 Kairos Prize Competition for Spiritually Uplifting Screenplays. Produced and released in 2011 by Pure Flix Entertainment. Original, prize-winning screenplay written by David M. Anthony with the final shooting script being the director’s (D. David Moran) re-write. Approximately 60 percent of the original script remained intact. Currently showing on NetFlix.

Synopsis (from Pure Flix website):

When Dr. Drew Carter (Mel Fair) tragically lost his ten-year old son in a car accident while his wife was driving, he didn’t expect to lose his whole family as well. Since the accident, his wife, Julia (Musetta Vander), has become emotionally absent from Drew and their daughter, Kayla (Aubyn Cole). When Dr. Miller (Lee Majors) refers Johnny (Jerry Phillips), a foster child with leukemia, to Drew, the wheels start to turn and Drew sees a chance to heal his family. Because Julia remains in a perpetual guilt-ridden state grief, she is opposed to the idea of adopting this terminally ill boy. With Kayla feeling increasingly more rejected by her own mother and Drew growing more distant from his wife, he decides to take matters into his own hands and adopts Johnny for better or for worse. Johnny doesn’t know what he is in for, but is convinced he is here for a special mission; a mission that is revealed when he enters Dr. Carter’s world.

ALONE AMONG PEOPLE — Advanced Reader’s Copy Now Available On Amazon

In Uncategorized on August 13, 2012 at 5:31 pm

Alone Among People is a re-write of Anarchy: A Love Story, my other novel that has been receiving excellent reviews across the internet and reader communities. It will be published soon on Amazon and will only be available in Advance Reader’s Copy version for a limited time, while I shop for a traditional publisher.

My purpose for re-writing Anarchy was to remove explicit sexual content and language that I, as a Christian, wrestled with from the moment I wrote the first draft. Since the book’s release four months ago, I have been fighting against my conscience…perhaps the Holy Spirit…over the “realism” expressed in explicit language and content.

What I’ve discovered is that my devotion to God and my wanting to honor Him with the talent He gave me trumps the need I originally felt to maintain a sense of realism through “real” language and content. The interesting thing, however, is that, after reading the rewrite of Alone Among People, the story rings just as real and is even better in my opinion.

In addition, I would classify Alone Among People as Christian fiction, free from obscenity and heavier on God and his redeeming love. I know that may offend some, but I must honor God with my life. My conscience will not bear otherwise. Thus I am pulling Anarchy: A Love Story from publication all together.

So I hope you will read the advance reader’s copy of Alone Among People and leave a review either here, on Amazon, or on Goodreads under the new title.

Blessings In Christ,

David M. Anthony

ALONE AMONG PEOPLE…

Sometimes we need to come to the end of ourselves before we understand…

Back Cover Synopsis:

Fear corrupts the mind faster than any drug. Briana Mils knew this better than anyone. She’d groomed herself for success early on, giving no foothold to fear, always methodical, always in control. When Briana leaves home for the University of Oregon in 1997—the alma mater of her military father and socially conscious mother—dogged determination is her impetus, no fear, no thought of failure. But in the summer of her second year at U of O, all that changes. Briana takes a job that introduces her to not only love, but also to environmentalism and dissent—and to a drug that derails her life.

Alone Among People is both beautiful and ugly, innocent and corrupt—an epic love story driving hard toward a compelling end.

D. M. Anthony’s novel about deep, tender love amongst hard-charging rebels will get you thinking about just what’s important — in life, in love, and in our families. And if you’ve ever thought your sins were too wretched for God to forgive, read this book.

ANARCHY…A Love Story — New novel by D.M. Anthony is Sid and Nancy meets Romeo and Juliet

Source: David M. Anthony Dated: May 15, 2012

New Novel by D. M. Anthony is being hailed as Sid & Nancy meets Romeo & Juliet in early release reviews, crossing Young Adult fiction with the Mainstream love story, hitting a niche few authors have reached.

ANARCHY…A Love Story — a new novel by author D.M. Anthony — marries two sub-genres of mainstream fiction, the love story and the cutting-edge young-adult tale, taking the reader into a world few know, but one of which many have seen — from a safe distance. This gritty, hard-charging love story centers around the anarchy and environmental movements common to the pacific northwest over the last three decades and is sure to rock its reader to their emotional core when released May 18, 2012. (NOW AVAILABLE ON AMAZON, BN.com, AND OTHER ONLINE RETAILERS)

The story’s told through the eyes of Briana, a young women once destined for greatness, but later bitten by bitterness, rage, and rebellion. Briana takes us through her life, what it’s like to win, lose, fight back, and what it’s like to love and live without fear. She spares no one in her account, especially herself, evoking everything from heartfelt sympathy to downright anger and disgust from the reader.

ANARCHY…A Love Story is both Scotch-on-the-rocks and a soothing glass of wine. It’s The Sex Pistols and Nicholas Sparks — a gentle breeze and a strong Nor’easter — a soothing massage and a brutal beat-down. It’s all you could want in a good summer read or in a cold winter’s retreat.
