David Bradbury is a former newspaper crime reporter who has long been fascinated with the gang culture of Los Angeles. Whether it is walking the streets of Downtown early morning, cruising Santa Monica Blvd during the day, or driving Figueroa St late at night, he believes there is a story down every alley. He enjoys every aspect of the writing process, from the beginning ride-along with police, hard slog of getting the story down on the page, to responding to editorial advice, and polishing the work into a publishable book.
