About the Author

David Fulmer has been a writer and producer for the past twenty years. His writing credits include features on blues and jazz for The Atlanta Journal & Consitution, Atlanta Magazine, Southline, Blues Access, the All Music Guide and National Public Radio. Among his production credits is the documentary Blind Willie’s Blues, which Video Librarian called "nothing less than the economic, social, and historical evolution of America's indigenous music,” and which earned Fulmer a nomination for a W.C. Handy Award.

He was a photographer with the U.S. Army Intelligence Center in Europe, and has worked as a welder, a bartender, a musician and a teacher. He spent ten years in the motorsports business, which included five seasons racing sports cars in club competition. A native of Pennsylvania, he lives in Atlanta with his daughter Italia. Chasing the Devil’s Tail is his first novel.
