David W. Burns began writing fiction when he was six years old, penning the tragic exploits of The Foolish Frog to amuse his mother. Since then, he has written several fantasy short stories, including one which won the 14th Annual Writers Digest Popular Fiction Awards Grand Prize, as well as a six-book series about humanity's last refuge against an apocalyptic vampire plague. By day (and some evenings) a trial attorney, David has spent years honing his story-telling skills before juries. He lives in Marlton, New Jersey with his kind and very patient wife and three children.
