David Chisholm

David Chisholm is a veteran writer who brings a passion for Southern legal history and high-stakes courtroom drama to his fiction.

A native of the Mississippi Gulf Coast, Chisholm’s work is deeply inspired by the region's complex relationship with the law, from the fierce financial competition of modern real estate to the enduring, centuries-old legacy of U.S. Treaty Law. He is particularly focused on stories where political corruption attempts to leverage bureaucratic silence into a manufactured legal amnesia.

Choctaw Rising is a fictional exploration of a very real and profound history, centered on the perpetual covenant of the Choctaw people. His dedication to research on U.S. Treaty Law and the history of the Choctaw Nation of Mississippi gives his thrillers a factual weight that anchors the high-stakes courtroom battles.

David Chisholm lives and writes on the Gulf Coast. Choctaw Rising is the first book in the Covenant Series, followed by the forthcoming sequel, The D.C. Covenant, which takes the fight against high-level corruption from the state courtroom to the halls of Congress.
