David Wittlinger and his wife Lynn share their home with three rescued dogs of dubious lineage. Aside from writing, David's other hobbies include playing the banjo (poorly) and tinkering with an endlessly changing selection of old cars in his garage. He wrote his first novel in 2013. Despite wistfully dreaming of life in a climate without snow or humidity, the author is a lifelong resident of Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.

His first book, Portal To Elysium, was inspired by a dream the author had about a window to the after-world. His second book, The Strong One, is about a lost young woman who finds her inner strength after a traumatic event. David admits to having so much fun writing it that he is working on two more follow-up novels. ...more

Within a few months she married one of my relatives. There has to be a story there. Unfortunately, Ireland has little in the way of online records and Mary Fordham continues to be a mystery to me. I gave my character Brianna her surname as a means of honoring an undoubtedly tough and brave woman (who lived to quite an old age).(less)

David, can you give us any idea when the third volume of the Briana series will be published (if there's going to be a third volume)? Briana's fans want to know! :-)

Funny, I was just thinking about that last night. I have a few chapters written but am still a bit stymied as to the main plot of the third installment. I've been too distracted by non-writing 'adulting' stuff. I wrote a non-fiction book in-between that is doing fairly well also. Sadly we're probably another year away from finding out if Brianna and Mitch become an item. Disclaimer: even I don't know!(less)

Where art thou?

My many (translation:  handful) fans have been asking questions. “When is the next book coming out?” “What have you been working on?” “Will there be more Brianna books?” I’m glad people want to know these things but answering the questions always make me uncomfortable.


My first two books were rolling around inside my skull for YEARS. The basic premise and rough characters already existed before fin
