A native of Ames, Iowa, Dave loves writing, reading, boardgames, computer games, improv comedy, pizza, barbarian movies, and the cheaper end of the Taco Bell menu. Also, his wife and kids.

Unwelcome Matt by Dave Dobson
"I read everything Dave writes, even when he veers away from his SciFi as here - a hard-boiled, action-packed thriller with a kick-ass librarian as the main character. Lovely stuff, full of gritty humour and high-stakes shenanigans."
Flames Over Frosthelm / The Outcast Crown / The Woeling Lass by Dave Dobson
"I enjoyed reading these three books and for some reason they reminded me of Fritz Leiber's Grey Mouser stories with the main two characters being a smaller quick witted individual and a larger stronger but not as bright sidekick in the first one and " Read more of this review »

“That means the culture regressed”
Dave Dobson, Kenai

“He took a seat on my log, although the Weynik seldom sat on things. Mostly they just squatted in place. I figured he was being polite. When your guest has a butt, and you don’t, you try to be accommodating.”
Dave Dobson, Kenai
