edit data

David has a small, (actually pretty large) obsession with all things nerdy. Whether it be video games, movies, television, books or even comics, it has piqued his interest.

As his passion grew, so did his hunger for Science Fiction and Fantasy. In high school, David nurtured a dream – to write a book – a dream he finally achieved with the publication of his first novel; Hero City: Renewal.

Today, David resides in Georgia with his wife, his two daughters, and their pets. He currently works in administration and dedicates his spare time to writing, reading and gaming.

David is diligently working on his next novel. If you're interested in following David on social media, you can find him on TikTok @dederuvo. ...more
