Capps attended Wayne State University for two years before joining the U.S. Navy. Later he was honorably discharged from the Submarine Service and went to work as an electrician in the Machine Tool trade in the Detroit area. Capps was initially trained in electronics in the Navy and expanded his training to include Industrial Computer Control and computer programming. Due to the fluctuating automotive job market in the Detroit area, he developed his design skills in both mechanical design and electrical design. Capps has six U.S. Patents and won a national design competition in 1985.
As a former electrical and mechanical engineer, Capps draws upon his experience to create much of the technology in his novels. He has a keen interest in emerging energy sciences and in his quest for knowledge on this new technology, Capps developed the control system for an over-unity electrical generator and witnessed first-hand the capabilities of such developing technologies, "The day I made the measurements on a machine that was producing eight times the electrical energy that it was consuming was a life-altering experience. I saw for myself what could actually be done, even though it was against all of my electrical training. Since then I have questioned everything that is considered conventional knowledge and found it terribly lacking. We actually live in a world that functions at a very different level from what we perceive."

Capps uses this new understanding of the greater possibilities for science and technology in his sci-fi thrillers. Some of the writers who inspired Capps are Michael Baigent, Dr. Eben Alexander (Proof of Heaven & A Map of Heaven), and David Baldacci. Capps has attended dozens of webinars through Writers Digest to work on perfecting his writing craft. Capps’ goal as a writer is to fashion an entertaining story and then to weave generally unknown facts into that story leaving the reader wondering just what is real and what isn't. If he can entertain a reader and make that reader question the reality around them, then he considers his efforts a success.

Writing Method

I have used both the straight-through seat-of-the-pants method and the outline method. I prefer the outline method because it gives me more of a sense of where the plot is going. That, in turn, allows the characters to unfold in connection with the plot.

I focus on the plot first, then go back to character development and finally I fill in needed detail for scenes, background and setting. Read more of this blog post »

“Power unites people in a common goal, a common cause, and unified action, empowering everyone in the process. Force divides people and seeks to conquer others, empowering one at the expense of another.”

“Orange soil meant highly oxidized titanium, which would be critical for recovering metals and oxygen that would be needed to colonize the moon. “Houston, we have a vein of what appears to be bright orange soil, one meter deep and approximately three meters wide. Taking a sample for analysis now.”
― David Capps, Meteor Storm

“Don't let belief masquerade as knowledge. Truth is real, and not just a matter of personal perception: Search for it, dig for it, follow the evidence. The truth isn't free; you have to earn it, and when you do, it will set you free.”
― David Capps
