His unusual perspective on life has been shaped by numerous international adventures, including working as the first male au pair in Paris, France (he misplaced the family cat), volunteering as an "elder" in a Peace Corps cohort in Moldova (learned more than the English he taught), and circumnavigating the globe by train (except for the Pacific and Atlantic). In between, he has run in more than thirty marathons as well as hundreds of shorter races in the US, Canada, and Greece. Employed first as an advertising copywriter in Chicago (go Cubbies), he moved to Maine in 1971 and is comfortably at home there when not traveling. His efforts at poetry morphed into creating and acting in plays for the Crowbait Club, a Portland amateur theater group. In the last several years, he has settled into his preferred genre: short stories. Especially those with a sardonic touch. And a dollop of noir. David has been published in Conceit Magazine, The Ultimate Writer, and The Storyteller Anthology Magazine. This short story collection, Women & Other Crimes, is his first book. Contrary to his stories, David is happily married to Elizabeth Miller.weniger sehen
