David hails from the humid subtropics of the southeastern US, where he writes fantasy fiction, plays bass guitar, explores the wilderness, and kicks it with his family. He's adept at trouble-shooting, thanks largely to his proficiency at trouble-making, and puts both to use creatively to bring to life unlikely creatures, unique settings and situations, and villainous heroes.

He posts monthly news on his blog, www.Silexare.com, and is on Twitter/X, Facebook, and IG (as David T List or DavidTList).

Fast and brutal!
Not that I'd know, but this book feels like blasting a rail of Columbian snow, and will leave you just as energized. There's something comforting about following a main character who has honed himself into superhuman toughness and ph

“Ambushes are my favorite bushes.”
David T. List, Violence & Vigilance

“By the gods,” Kraus marvels. The captain’s ruined face … Kraus’ masterpiece. It is a work of art. “Looks like a hungry scrotum got at your face.”
David T. List, Violence & Vigilance

“I bumped into a cabinet.”
David T. List, Violence & Vigilance

“If you can quit, then quit. If you can't quit, you're a writer.”
R.A. Salvatore

“Well, every one can master a grief but he that has it.”
William Shakespeare, Much Ado About Nothing

“I'm disappointed in you, Adrian. I'm very disappointed. Reassembling myself was the first trick I learned. It didn't kill Osterman. Did you really think it would kill me? I have walked across the surface of the sun. I have witnessed events so tiny and so fast, they could hardly be said to have occurred at all. But you, Adrian, you're just a man. The world's smartest man poses no more threat to me than does its smartest termite.”
Alan Moore, Watchmen

“All of humanity's problems stem from man's inability to sit quietly in a room alone.”
Blaise Pascal, Pensées
