I'm David, and I write clean mysteries with heart for kids 8-12! I also speak to 3rd-5th graders to inspire them to read, write, and pursue their dreams. It's a pretty cool job, right?

​

My Waldameer Mystery Files book series is about kids solving mysteries at Waldameer & Water World, my family's amusement park in Erie, Pennsylvania. Did you know Waldameer is one of the oldest amusement parks in the country? It has lots of fun history that I include in the books.

​

Now I live in Richmond, Virginia, and I make trips back to Pennsylvania and around Virginia to speak at schools and meet Waldameer Mystery Files readers at book signings.
