David Wood is the author of the Dane Maddock Adventure series and several stand-alone works. A fan of all things historical, archaeological, mythological, and cryptozoological, and his writing blends all of these passions. When it's vacation time, he generally passes on the exotic locales, preferring ruins, caves, Indian mounds, mountains, and sites of historical interest. (Fortunately, he lucked into a wife who loves the outdoors even more than he does!) In addition to his novels, his short fiction has appeared on the web, and in the Don't Know What You've Got anthology, and he writes the occasional editorial for Bleacher Report. Under his pseudonym David Debord, he is the author of The Absent Gods fantasy series. David is a proud member of International Thriller Writers. When not writing, David coaches youth sports. He and his family live in Santa Fe, New Mexico.
