large corporations. He loves languages, fools around with the guitar, and plays lots of board games. By vocation, he
writes speculative fiction (fantasy, science fiction, space opera, steampunk, cyberpunk, superhero, alternate history, dystopian
fiction, horror, and related genres) for all audiences.
Dave's books include the western steampunk romp City of the Saints, the dark science fiction novel Crecheling, and the ongoing
action-horror serial Rock Band Fights Evil, all from Wordfire Press. In addition, Dave is the author of a middle reader action
steampunk fantasy series called The Extraordinary Journeys of Clockwork Charlie. Charlie's first extraordinary journey, The
Kidnap Plot, will be published by Knopf in the Spring of 2016.
