David is a software engineer by trade, working from home on the forty-one acre ranch he co-owns with his partner. When he’s not wrangling websites, he plays upright bass from time to time, studies and teaches esoteric philosophy, and very occasionally wrestles goats. While he had dreamt of writing fiction since his teens, David had never taken that dream very far. Life brought far too many distractions, and many of his ideas languished in storage and drawers. However, one day last year, friends in his writing group pressured him to present a story rather than the poetry or game idea he had been working on. Resurrecting a story about a young woman with an extraordinary talent, he found traction and, before long, had completed NaNoWriMo and a first draft of what was to become ＂The Soul Thief,＂ the first novel in the ＂Gypsy Dreamwalker＂ series, of which ＂The God of Battles＂ is the second book. He is hard at work on the next installment in the series. David and his partner Rachel Anderson have co-authored a small collection of poetry, ＂Poems de Terre,＂ which may be purchased from Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and other fine booksellers.
