I'm not afraid of heights, but I definitely have a healthy respect for depths. So I'm as surprised as anyone that I've written a book featuring a girl who loves to be as high up in the air as possible.
I am a writer, editor, and publisher living just north of the Golden Gate Bridge with my wife, Maura Vaughn and our daughters. And our cats.
Currently, I run my own small publishing company, Stillpoint Digital Press. Since 1999, I’ve overseen the publications program for Joseph Campbell Foundation. I have edited three posthumous volumes of Campbell's unpublished writing and lectures and overseen editions of seventy additional titles, including the third edition of his masterpiece, Hero with a Thousand Faces.
In June, 2016, I released Risuko, a historical adventure novel (whew! lots of qualifications on that!) set in Japan during the Civil War era, and I'm in the middle of writing Bright-Eyes, the second book in the Seasons of the Sword series.
I'm a passionate reader of mysteries, fantasy, and whatever else I can get my hands on. I am a story addict.
And that's me, at the moment. 😉

Read my books:
I read your article about converting manuscripts into e-book formats and would like to contact you about this. I have two books at the moment that I need to convert and am looking for someone to convert them.
April, thank you so much for contacting us! If you could shoot us an email at editor@stillpointdigital.com and give a little more information about your books — how long, how many illustrations, whether there are any formatting challenges (complex tables, drop caps, etc.).
I am getting a “550 No Such User Here” error when I attempt to send an email to editor@stillpointdigital.com. Is it still active?
Thanks for pointing that out, Monica, and our apologies. We shifted hosts and thought we’d updated all of the email addresses, but obviously lost one or two.
It should work now.
David
Thanks!
