Elijah David was raised in the Florida Panhandle, and during his middle and high school years moved around the Southeast and Midwest.

Though he has always been a storyteller (a penchant he borrowed from his dad), he started writing seriously when he decided he wanted to write something with the same power as the Narnia books.

Now he writes, and occasionally blogs, from the Chattanooga area, where he lives with his wife, son, and their cat Pumpkin.

The Path of Lucius Park Cover Reveal

When I finished my Master's degree in 2013, I had a collection of stories that formed my thesis. They represented the work of the previous two years, and I grew a great deal during that time, learning how I could push my characterizations and storytelling techniques in new directions with limited space.

In the seven years since, I have seen about half of those stories published in anthologies, and

I have to say I enjoyed this one, though it was very different from the rest of the series. It's almost a series of vignettes and novellas strung together to cover the twelve-month period set at the end of the previous book. But it covers a lot of ch ...more
