To date, David has written five books in the Chris Morehouse series of espionage thrillers.

Authors Note: I was asked recently why I decided to write an espionage story when there are already lots to choose from in the genre. My answer is that there are many good books out there, but a lot of them never quite reach the authenticity that I am looking for when I am reading. Either the hero is too over-the-top, too superhuman, unflappable or somehow indestructible.

I wanted to create a character who is realistic that everyone can relate to that has bad traits or hangups, and most of all, a person who makes mistakes. I hope that readers find Chris Morehouse, my main character in my books, as a typical guy who has issues, but is working his way up the ladder from the bottom and is not a natural born Hollywood hero.
