edit data

David M. Snow is a science-fiction and fantasy author for adults. When he is not busy reading with a cup of green tea, running 5km, looking up new words in the dictionary for hours on end, or learning Mandarin, Tagalog, Japanese or Korean, he sits down with his MacBook Pro and types his next novel in a frenzy.

With a Master’s in Applied Linguistics and ten years of teaching experience, he is also a linguist, polyglot, entrepreneur and teacher. After spending several years in China, he is in search of new places to explore.

I don’t yet know who is recording them, or why they’ve appeared now.

I only know they belong to something larger.

“It is much more valuable to look for the strength in others. You can gain nothing by criticizing their imperfections.”

“The institutions of human society treat us as parts of a machine. They assign us ranks and place considerable pressure upon us to fulfill defined roles. We need something to help us restore our lost and distorted humanity. Each of us has feelings that have been suppressed and have built up inside. There is a voiceless cry resting in the depths of our souls, waiting for expression. Art gives the soul's feelings voice and form.”
