David Fine

David Fine’s journey to become an author was somewhat unexpected. When he was young, he would much rather tell stories than actually write them down, and spent his time playing sports, video games, and learning about history. After the birth of his daughter, he started creating original bedtime stories teaching her life lessons based on her day. Sometimes the stories were short and sometimes they took multiple days to tell. To his daughter’s despair, he would always end on a cliff hanger, and would continue the next day where he had left off. Aggie Boyle was one of those ongoing stories. His wife encouraged him to start writing them down, which sparked a passion for writing he didn’t know was there.

About the author

It has always been a passion of mine to write. This is the right time in my life to sit down and pick up the pen. After years of traveling like a gypsy around this beautiful planet we all have the privilege to experience each day, I started to write down, children’s stories, mythical stories, stories that are inspired by poems, Chicken Soup stories, and stories from my adventurous past. It’s time in my life to be creative, and to use my imagination. I hope you find some pleasure in my scribblings, and dear readers, thank you for your time. Kindly provide your feedback. With the first step taken, like a lot of my life, I don’t have any idea where the journey will take me.

C.R. Guardian

I’m a chaos-driven writer from Kansas City.

I grew up in a family with five boys, which taught me a great deal about patience and persistence. My parents were incredibly supportive of creativity, and thanks to their influence, my brothers and I pursued various forms of art.

I am married to a wonderful and supportive wife, and I have three daughters who will someday rule the world.

Though I earned a Bachelor of Arts in English, I gained more knowledge from David Farland/Wolverton and Priscilla Van Der Weele-Smith.
