David A. Willson is a father, husband, pancreatic cancer survivor and a retired Alaska State Trooper. Taught by his mother to love books at a young age, he spent his childhood exploring magic, spaceships, and other dimensions. In his writing, he strives to bring those worlds to his readers. Much of his material is inspired by the 'Great Land' of Alaska, which he has called home for over 40 years. He is passionate about technology, faith, and fiction—not necessarily in that order. When not writing, he enjoys traveling, woodworking, brewing beer and wine, and playing acoustic guitar.
