Maurice Woodson's Novel Blood Don't Lie recieves bookstore and Hollywood buzz

Aug. 21, 2008 - PRLog -- Maurice Woodson, whom is best known for his exploits in the music industry as well as his experience writing for and his involvements in magazines such as NOMA Beauty Magazine, Essence, Spice Teen Music Magazine, Word Up, Right On, Class and Billboard, is ready to make his mark as the author of a new novel. However, this is not his first published book.  Woodson authored the celebrated non-Fiction Child Abduction: How To Protect Your Children, which is a survival guide that educates children and parents on the topic of child predators and abductions.  This was an important book to him because at age 9 he climbed into the back of a strangers car but luckily survived the experience.  He wanted to make sure his children and others never repeated his mistake.                  

This time around Woodson tackles the world of fiction.  Blood Don't Lie is a roller coaster of a thriller.  The Suburban Herald's "book report" calls it "One of the best novels to come out in some time. "Maurice Woodson's characters are so real and believable that one would swear to have met one or two of them on line in the grocery store. Blood Don't Lie kept me guessing all the way to the end and the surprise ending took my breath away.  It was truly so good that I couldn't put it down," said book critic Sean Jacobs  

The buzz in the industry is that Woodson is a literary star on the rise.  Even Hollywood has an eye on Blood Don't Lie.  According to Hollywood insiders, 2 major production companies (both requested to remain anonymous) are looking at the novel for a possible movie adaption -- Which is amazing considering the novel doesn't reach stores and book outlets until October 13th 2008.

Woodson described the book's contents by reciting somewhat of a teaser on the story;
Jerome Henderson was a regular guy.  He loved his wife, went to work, and adored his daughter.  Everything he knew came crashing down when his wife and child vanished and were assumed murdered. With a witness account and all clues pointing to him, Jerome must become a fugitive from the law, but is he running from the truth or in search of it?

   Detective Pinnick was an old school, no nonsense cop who always got his man, but what he  discovers during his investigation causes him to question everything he knew to be true about the Henderson case.  With the assistance of reporter Kelli Dunmore, they uncover a decades long secret that someone is willing to kill to protect. When the smoke clears, not everyone escapes with their lives.  Through it all,  one thing remains true and that is that no matter how you try to hide the facts... Blood Don't Lie!

When asked how he came up with the premise of the book, Woodson responded: "I had fallen behind in my child support and ended up going to jail for a short period of time and during the first couple of days, I was given a magazine to read to kill time and an article in that magazine sparked an idea that became the basis for the whole novel.  I won't tell you the name of the magazine because I don't want to take away from or spoil some of the surprises of the story, but it along with the fact that I always wanted to write murder/ mystery/ thriller led to me to create this novel that I am very excited about and proud of.

Blood Don't lie hits bookstores on October 13th 2008 and is available NOW! at amazon.com and barnesandnoble.com.  If it's a good read that you want with rich characters and twists and turns that keep you guessing until the end, then Blood Don't Lie is a must have.
