Dr. David L. Blond works as a private economic consultant specializing in quantitative analysis of economic data. He lives in Santa Fe, New Mexico. Blond began his career working for the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland. During the period of 1978 - 1985, he was a Senior Economist in the Office of the Secretary of Defense, and after leaving that position worked for various major global economic forecasting and consulting firms in senior positions developing some of the largest and most complex global economic models ever developed for use by private sector clients.
Review: David Blond has pulled off an almost impossible feat. He managed to take the most esoteric formulas of modern Economic Theory and made the wind-up spring driving the plot forward. But the damned book is sexy! Sexie & Economics? Who's kidding who? And it's a taut thriller. Complex. No! Simple. No! Complex! Did I say romantic? Yup. That too. Ted Flicker: Writer-Director The President's Analyst. Creator, Director, Owner: Barney Miller, TV Series. Novelist. Sculptor. Review: "Devouring The Phoenix Year by David L. Blond. A cracking thriller at a breakneck pace!" Aaron Rowlands, Founder, The Lowdown Under Review: "No threat of nuclear devastation, global pandemic, nor infinitely multiplying bugs, will be found in David Blond's The Phoenix Year. Instead, Blond, a trained economist, has his heroes confronting the possible destruction of the global economic system. He applies his knowledge of world financial institutions to a complex plot wherein the villains intend to create a better world by destroying the existing economic structure. The Phoenix Year delivers an exciting mixture of clear and understandable financial education coupled with a healthy measure of salacious sex. What better combination?" Lee Seidler, Former Senior Managing Director, Bear, Sterns & Co Review: "The Phoenix Year is a taut, sexy thriller. If John Le Carre had set characters loose during the global economic crisis the result might have been something like this book: a fast-paced, dramatic ride into the shadowy worlds of spycraft and high finance. I found myself reading faster and faster - Blond knows how to ratchet up the tension and create compelling characters. I'm looking forward to reading more of his work." Prof. Laurie Cinquini, MFA Review: "From the pen of a trained economist comes a conspiracy thriller that's rich and gripping." By The Crime Thriller Hound
