After a short career in journalism, I began writing from my own experience in reporting, starting with an investigation into a serial killer case that I investigated close to home. I felt compelled to write about my own motivations and fears at first. The case got dangerously close, I was being hunted by my prey ... This haunting prompted me to write. It was the trigger. I live in the UK now. A few years on and I teeter mostly on the brink of fantasy and horror with a strong emphasis on real cases and their supernatural angle. I believe it's possible to investigate cold cases from a different era. This is why I wrote "Hollow Man". Fiction is closest to reality than the mind can comprehend. Lately, I have touched upon the modern cautionary tale genre. I once thought no one cared about moral issues since everything is banalized, but I believe literature has still a role to play in our society. Here's one of my favourite quotes: "Some are born great, some achieve greatness and some have greatness thrust upon them.' (Malvolio, Twelfth night , W. Shakespeare) Contact I'm always looking for new and exciting opportunities. Let's connect. davidmar.everblue@gmail.com
