Charles David Carpenter

Welcome to my mind's eye view of the world. Besides being a writer, I am a martial artist who was born and reared in sunny Southern California. Yes, I am the rare native who was actually born here. See, we do exist. As a martial artist, I have learned how to fight people. As an Angeleno, I have learned how to fight traffic. Traffic is tougher, by far. I attended California State University Northridge, but my love of writing was instilled in me by my father. My family has always said, "Before he could talk, he could write." Thank you, family.

As an avid lifelong reader, I have always dreamed of creating a world into which I could immerse myself and feel safe. Writing has given me an outlet that allows for expression behind the shield of different characters and places. Growing up, some of my closest friends could be found in the pages and verses of fantasy stories. I am so excited to now be able to add to that collection of friends with some of my own creation.

In 2005, I joined creative forces with D.W. Jones. We began collaborating on various writing projects, including the very successful original comedy series for the internet called CAN WE DO THAT?.

Like night and day, we are two uniquely different authors who came together to form what we feel is a dynamic writing team. After several screenplays, TV pilots and commercial copy, we embarked on writing our first novel series.

We welcome you to visit necromancerspride.com and join us on our journey as we continue to expand the world we've created. It is a world in which we can all enter and indulge our desires to become the heroes we have always dreamed ourselves to be.
