Some stories choose their storytellers.
For Florida-based author David Christopher, that moment came early—with worn notebooks and stories that refused to stay quiet. In a world increasingly divided, David writes of our shared humanity, letting each story find its own genre rather than forcing narratives into predetermined boxes.
What began as random ideas that would strike at the most unexpected moments has evolved into a compelling literary voice that follows curiosity wherever it leads. His genre-defying work proves that the best stories don't just entertain—they transform, bridging hearts and minds across cultures and experiences.
When not lost in the world of words, David can be found collecting stories from friends and strangers alike, discovering hidden gems amongst small-town charm or big city bustle, or simply watching the world unfold from around him. These moments of connection and observation fuel a writing style that readers describe as "unexpectedly moving" and "impossible to put down."
In short, he believes that every person carries a story worth telling—and every story has the power to change how we see ourselves and each other.
