    I'm delighted to report that a new edition of my novel, The Cold Road, from New Word City, Inc., is now available in ebook form on Amazon and elsewhere. 

    In The Cold Road, young Melissa O'Malley has inherited a strange obeah sensitivity from her Jamaican mother and grandmother, and it is this unusual sensitivity that allows Melissa to come to grips with some deeply unsettling revelations about her past. The story is set in Minnesota, where a series of brutal murders remain unsolved; and on the island of St. Kitts in the Caribbean, where Melissa is building a career in public relations and a relationship with a man who turns out to be trouble. Things spiral downward into danger for Melissa, but her courage, her friendship with a couple of island locals, and her trust in a hardworking detective back in Minnesota ultimately help her to do what must be done both in the heat of the islands and the brutal cold of a Minnesota winter. 

     The Tampa Bay Times said The Cold Road is "a hugely metaphoric novel about "murder and mayhem," where  "Wilber ties cold -- and heat -- to his characters and their motivation so skillfully that the pages set in Minnesota almost seem to be encrusted with snow and ice and those set in the Caribbean drip with humidity."

The Science Fiction Chronicle reviewer called The Cold Road an "intriguing first novel," that "feels more like a mainstream novel than a genre work. I wouldn't be surprised if this attracts a wider readership, both from fans of the fantastic and those who like mainstream suspense."
