edit data

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

Elijah’s Quotes

“It isn't possible to love and part. You will wish that it was. You can transmute love, ignore it, muddle it, but you can never pull it out of you. I know by experience that the poets are right: love is eternal.”
