about me


Dean Lombardo is the author of the SF-horror novel, "Vespa" (published by Active Bladder, 2007). The novel can be found on Amazon (only the Kindle version is still available). Dean is working on his fourth novel, and seeking commercial representation.

***I am happy to report that a publisher has agreed to publish "Space Games," the SF/pulp thriller featured on authonomy, on May 15, 2013!!! I have been advised to keep some of the final edited manuscript on authonomy once that version is available.***

A Connecticut native, Dean now resides in northern Virginia.

("Space Games" book cover by Suki Schavoir)

Note: I'm happy to review the works of my fellow authonomy authors, but your pitch needs to interest me and you need to conversely take interest in my work. I do not necessarily put books on my shelf when asked or ordered to do so, so please don't assume I will because you've asked. Also, please understand that I maintain a long list of books on my Watch List, so be patient. Thank you and enjoy the site. ~ Dean

Vespa

Dean Lombardo

Something terrible is hatching.


The victims are all the same. Snatched from their homes and then buried alive, only to be found days later, dead, and completely stripped of their organs and flesh. The police and media suspect a serial killer preying on children, but the feds know otherwise and call on Tom Goodman, an expert in the biological control of invasive species. Something far more terrible than a human hand or rogue bear is at work in this small town besieged by death, and Goodman must figure out a way to exterminate the invader before it exterminates him and everyone around him. But to defeat the creature, Goodman must better understand it . . . and get inside its head before it gets inside of his.

Space Games

Dean Lombardo

The cameras are on and the gloves are off in this battle of the sexes in space.


It’s 2034, and reality TV enters its next stage: gladiator-like games in lower Earth’s orbit. Leading the charge is Hollywood producer SHELDON ZIMMER with a new high-stakes show called “Space Games,” which pits two civilian contestants, one male, one female, against each other in a series of zero-gravity events held aboard a state-of-the-art space station.
Ignoring the danger of his show’s format and the unstable personalities of the contestants, Zimmer entrusts the officiating of the show and space station to former NASA astronaut VINCE DAVIS, who must referee the two increasingly stressed contestants, 'BIG JOE' O’DONNELL and sexy spitfire ROBIN MILLER.
When the competition turns violent, Vince makes a final attempt to separate the contestants, putting his own life in jeopardy. But with rescue by mini-shuttle days away, and Vince dangling by a tether outside the station, even the legendary Zimmer may not be able to pull the plug on this deadly, live experiment.

Hi Thomas, I am sorry it took me so long to return the read--I haven't been around much. I believe "Finding Mary" has all of the makings of a strong novel--thanks to the "character" you breathe not only into its characters but inanimate objects such as Mrs. Jen's paddle and more. I also appreciate ... view book

Old Number Seven By John Breeden John—Old Number Seven is amazing. A perfectly told story whose characterization, tension and conflict are building expertly, perhaps like the hurricane itself. I can get this on my shelf as soon as I see to a few others this month. Chapter 1 “How noble their crus... view book

Hi Robert, This is a professional job. I read the first three chapters, and, so far, the overall story, its level of detail, and its tone are reminiscent of James Michener’s “Space.” Only “Lunar Dance” will progress into a science fiction novel, which makes it even more enticing. Chapter 1: ... view book

Hi Andrea, I'm here for a long overdue return read. I read the first three chapters and enjoyed them. I especially enjoyed "As a Child" which, to me, explores how the games we play as children instruct us for life. Highly starred and kindest regards, Dean Lombardo view book

Hi Shelby--sorry it has taken so long to return the read. Been so busy. "Driving Winds" is an excellent story, you have a real command over the language and "voice," and the characters are sympathetic, and I can see how these tragic, early experiences are likely to transform your Adrianna character ... view book
