What is the aim or goal of your writing: David categorizes himself as an American Indian Storyteller. He says that if this were 400 years ago, he would be spinning his books and novels orally, in front of a large fire within the deep woods. So, for him, it is the aim to relay the tale or information which is his ultimate goal.

May inquiries be sent to you about doing workshops, readings: Yes
Oh, absolutely. David attends writers conferences around the country and abroad. He is always a panelist and often a presenter at various writing workshops. His career has been multi-faceted, and he is knowledgeable on many subjects. This allows him to work in many areas of a workshop and or discussion group. Libraries, however, are a personal favorite of his. With his latest novel, (Old Money) he is doing a "Library Only" tour within Michigan before heading out west to Hawaii.
