| Introduction | Hi, I'm David. I'm a novelist. My sixth novel, The Sacred Band, appeared in Oct 2011. My novels have been published in Britain, as well as in French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish and Swedish! I'm married to knitwear designer Gudrun Johnston: The Shetland Trader. |
| Interests | Okay, this isn't exactly interests. It's more of a bio... My first novel, Gabriel’s Story, received the 2002 Hurston/Wright Legacy Award for Debut Fiction, a 2002 Alex Award from the American Library Association and the 2001 First Novel Award from the Black Caucus of the American Library Association. It was a NY Times Notable Book, and a Los Angeles Times and Publisher’s Weekly Best of 2001 pick. My second novel, Walk Through Darkness, was a NY Times Notable Book and a best of 2002 selection from The San Francisco Chronicle, Black Issues Book Review and The Atlanta Journal Constitution. My third novel, Pride of Carthage, was a Book Sense Selection for February 2005. It has been translated into Italian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Spanish, Swedish, and published in the British Commonwealth. I’ve taught at a number of universities. I was recently the MacLean Distinguished Writer is Residence at The Colorado College, and I'm now an associate professor in the MFA program at California State University, Fresno. |
