Lambert, a storyteller whose life reads like one of his own captivating novels.

Born in the gritty landscapes of Manchester, New Hampshire in 1964, David's journey from Marine Corps veteran to acclaimed author embodies the American spirit of reinvention. His eleven years of military service instilled in him a discipline and perspective that breathes authenticity into every page he writes. Whether you're exploring the supernatural tensions in his Revenant Chronicles or following the calculated precision of his Colton Cross thrillers, you'll feel the influence of a man who has truly lived the spectrum of human experience.

Just three years ago, David embarked on his writing odyssey, transforming from puzzle creator to masterful novelist with remarkable speed. His diverse professional background—from digital mapping director to manufacturing supervisor to his current role as a dedicated family clinic nurse—infuses his narratives with technical precision and profound human understanding that readers consistently praise.

Discover his gripping standalone titles like "Hushbone," "Rangatang," "The Devil's Mouth," "Cane Creek," —each offering a unique window into David's imaginative landscape. For series enthusiasts, the Revenant Chronicles ("Crimson Horizon" and "Fractured Horizon") delivers supernatural suspense that will keep you awake long past midnight, while the Colton Cross Contract Killing series ("Cross The Line" and "Burning Cross") introduces you to a protagonist whose moral complexity will haunt you long after the final page. Under his pen name Michael K Piper, "Jazz Town" and "Black Town" showcase different facets of his versatile storytelling ability.

From the mountains of East Tennessee, where he now makes his home with his loyal cat Athena, David draws inspiration from a life lived across continents. Having resided in Japan, Korea, Poland, Belgium, Hawaii, and numerous American states, his narratives resonate with cultural insights that transform ordinary stories into extraordinary journeys. When not creating new worlds on the page, this father of three enjoys life's simple pleasures—watching sports, attending theater, exploring local restaurants, and of course, losing himself in a good book.

Some stories arrive fully formed. Others take years of pressure before they finally break the surface.

Black Lung was the second kind.

I didn’t start writing it because I wanted to scare anyone. I started because the idea wouldn’t leave me alone. A dying Appalachian town. Coal dust everywhere—on porches, in lungs, in the air itself. People who cough but never quite understand what they’re breathing Read more of this blog post »
