DAVID TELFORD is a writer whose work lives at the intersection of speculative fiction, literary realism, and human-centered storytelling. His stories often explore themes of connection, belief, memory, and choice, set against backdrops that range from the personally intimate to the expansively cosmic.

Blending elements of science, philosophy, and emotional truth, his writing is driven by people: how they love, how they fail, how they search for meaning in uncertain worlds. No matter the story's nature, his focus remains on empathy, consequences, and the fragility of being human.

He lives near Lake Wylie, SC, with too many outlines, never enough coffee, and an endless playlist of songs that remind him of the people he loves.
