OK, I'm the author. Of course I think it's wonderful. Shameless promotion aside, I do hope you read it. Rapture of the Deep is about ordinary people and what makes them tick. It’s about trials and heartaches and the way those unseen matters shape the ...more

David’s Quotes

“So avoid using the word ‘very’ because it’s lazy. A man is not very tired, he is exhausted. Don’t use very sad, use morose. Language was invented for one reason, boys - to woo women - and, in that endeavor, laziness will not do. It also won’t do in your essays.”
