Dave writes magical reality with a strong technical grounding. He likes to take well-known crazy magical ideas and make them conform to the facts and the world we know and how things really work. The act of reconciling the mystical with the real inevitably begets a story. For instance: If all of humanity had access to the supernatural, the competition in the exercise of power among individuals would produce a stalemate leading to a world that would look pretty much the same as the one in which we currently live. . . sort of. Another; if the common threads of all the ancient myths and religious earth-origin stories are considered together, they reveal a true story about the beginning of humanity. That's The Premise (in draft). In addition to the named Author of The Premise and a ghostwriter for Enoch's Thread. Dave has written the short story, Photobomb and has two more short stories pending. A third novel, Future Testament is in the planning stages.
