I began my creative writing journey by enrolling in the online Writers’ Program offered by UCLA. In a series of courses taught by professional writers, I learned how to craft memorable characters, create colorful worlds, and outline suspenseful plots enriched with drama and conflict.

Taking one baby step at a time, I managed to bridge the gulf between writing promotional copy in short bursts to rendering full scale novels. As an interim step, I wrote three screenplays.

I'd also like to facilitate a few seminal historic events to improve human existence that may have been thwarted by chance, greed, or other reasons.(less)
David Gittlin Good question. Fortunately, my life is too boring to suggest any mystery plots.

How Cat Stevens’ Early Song Became a Timeless Hit

Cat Stevens wrote “The First Cut Is The Deepest” when he was eighteen. At the time, he had no intention of becoming a worldwide star performer. He sold the song for thirty pounds to P.P. Arnold, a soul singer who lived near him in London. She released “The First Cut Is The Deepest” on her first album. It reached #18 on the U.K. charts in 1967. Eventually, Rod Stewart and Sheryl Crow covered the so

“David Gittlin’s TIME TERMINUS (Expect the Unexpected) offers a clever twist on time travel stories and murder mysteries and adds a sweet and poignant love story to boot.

~Catherine Langrehr for IndieReader”
Catherine Langrehr

“A delightful romp with spaceships, suspense, and assorted aliens.”
Kirkus Book Review

“Cataclysm: End of Worlds continues and expands upon the introductory The Silver Sphere and also ends with the cliff-hanging portent of more satisfyingly compelling action in the next book.

While sci-fi readers who like quick openings to new worlds will be the best audience for this book, it should also be on the reading lists of contemporary fiction and sci-fi students of the novella form, as an example of how to make the most of a very short opportunity to grab reader attention.”
Diane Donovan

“The novella utilizes every word to create a satisfyingly original blend of humor and entertainment in a small but compelling package.

And thank heavens there are more books to come. Those seeking the rare draw of a literary sci-fi novella format as well as busy readers who want to digest an action-packed, unpredictable story in one sitting will find The Silver Sphere a complete delight on many levels.”
