Dave McDonald's Bio

A romanticist at heart, with a deductive mind, I am a graduate engineer who traveled the world keeping commercial jet engines flying safely. I thought I loved my first career until I found my second, writing.

For the past several decades, I traveled abroad. At the time I was performing my job. In retrospect, I was collecting data; sights, smells, emotions, experiences, characters, and stories for my second career.

Over the past twenty years, I've belonged to three writing groups. I've given presentations on editing at writing conferences and taught many classes on the fundamentals of writing fiction. I have two critique partners, one is an award-winning best seller.

I have written fifteen novels with many more in seed. Every day is a creative opportunity.

I live with my wife, Linda, and our dog, Bentley on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
