David Wiley

David Wiley grew up around stories. He would frequently bring stacks of books to his mother at bedtime, always eager to have another book read before bed. Several decades have passed since those days, but little has changed: he still has a passion for stories.

His first short story to be published was “Lost in a Familiar Place”, a short piece of flash fiction that appeared in Firewords Quarterly. Since then he has seen several shorter pieces published in anthologies. His first solo publication, A Merchant in Oria, was published in the spring of 2017 by OWS Ink. David’s first full-length novel, Monster Huntress, released in April 2018 and is set in the same fantasy world as his novella but follows a new protagonist: Ava, a young girl with aspirations of hunting monsters for a living.

When he isn’t writing, David can often be found enjoying the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, C.S. Lewis, Robert Jordan, Brandon Sanderson, Sarah J. Maas, and many others. He also likes to delve into the literature of the Anglo-Saxons, such as Beowulf, and the Icelandic Sagas.

During his free time he also likes to sit around a table with others, pulling out modern board games such as War of the Ring, Mage Knight, Lignum, A Feast for Odin, and many other games.
