David P. Cantrell

David P. Cantrell lives with his wife of four decades in the beautiful coastal community of Arroyo Grande in central California. A spinal cord injury in 2009, ended his career as a CPA and his love affair with woodworking. The injury left him paralyzed from the neck down, but with the help and love of his wife and caring therapists, he’s recovered significant function, although he is wheelchair-bound.

A chance encounter with a young Science Fiction author named Jasper T. Scott changed his life. Dave accepted the offer to be a beta reader on one of Jasper’s Dark Space novels. He had no idea what a beta reader was supposed to do, so he did what he wanted to do. Jasper was understanding of his newbie status, but more importantly, he was encouraging and complement his efforts. David has gone on to be a structural editor for several authors.
