From a very young age, new Author, David J. Eden has been involved in storytelling. As a young child, he and his best friend would doodle and draw, creating random characters and creatures, most of which were intended for Capcom's 'Megaman' videogame series.

As he grew, Eden aspired to be a Songwriter, writing close to 100 various poems and lyrics. Poetry took a standstill on the back burner, and Eden began various writing projects that were never fully completed, ranging from Star Wars fanfics, to various short stories.

As a young child, he and his best friend would doodle and draw, creating random characters and creatures, most of which were intended for Capcom's 'Megaman' videogame series.

As he grew, Eden aspired to be a Songwriter, writing close to 100 various poems and lyrics. Poetry took a standstill on the back burner, and Eden began various writing projects that were never fully completed, ranging from Star Wars fanfics, to various short stories.

After leaving his home city of Vancouver, BC to spend 2 years in Pittsburgh, PA, Eden found himself back home and attending Vancouver Film School. Studying animation, and taking a knack for directing and film-theory, he gained a real thirst for storytelling. 6 Months out of VFS, Eden ended up as an artist on the Television series "Class of the Titans" which aired on Teletoon for 2 seasons. This is where he gained the seeds of inspiration that would eventually become "The Nascentian Chronicles". This education and experience in the Film Industry has often been the thorn in the side of family and friends as Eden is known to "pick apart a TV show or movie like a bad critic."

"I do tend to annoy people with it." He says, "I have a hard time keeping my opinions and excitement to myself, and it doesn't take much for me to memorize a complete movie in 2 viewings or less." To this day, he still has Disney's 'Aladdin' memorized, "including every nuance, voice and musical annotation...drives my mother nuts." he says with a chuckle.

His passion is now writing, but resorts to more...traditional methods. "I have to write everything out by hand first," he says, "there is no real flow of creativity otherwise. Something about the feel of an old-school fountain pen on rough pages is just soothing and allows things to just flow. Must be from my training as a Classical Animator."

Aside from the Nascentian Chronicles, which are planned to number 5 in the series, as well as a 20-part mini-series, Eden has a number of other novels "on the back burner" and ready to go when The Nascentian Chronicles run dry.

A music aficionado, (being a French Horn player and 3rd Generation Trumpet player) Eden has been to many various live performances, ranging from Broadway to Punk-Rock, his favourite of which is the Goth-Rock band, Evanescence.

Aside from Music, Movies and Writing, Eden likes to spend his time Surfing in the summers and skiing in the winters, as well as wrestling with his 2 year old Chocolate Lab, Sierra. ...more

Long time coming...

Six years ago, I began the process of the Nascentian Chronicles, never really dreaming it would come along as far as it has. Now, "Mirage" is being read on nearly every continent, and book 2 in the series "Emendar" is on the way.

It really is an exhausting process, but oh so incredible! Book two is coming along at such a rapid pace and I'm excited to see it completed. I already have plot lines pla Read more of this blog post »
