David Viergutz is a disabled Army veteran, law enforcement veteran, a husband and proud father. He's also a storyteller, an author of horror and thriller novels.

As a teenager, David would often be found dragging a backpack full of books to class, leaving his textbooks behind. He was always captivated by the worlds that authors like Nix, Tolkien, King and Patterson created, and he dreamed of one day creating his own. Years went by and David found himself serving his country in the military, and later in law enforcement. The experiences he had during those years were both thrilling and terrifying, and they left a deep impression on him. David always talked about writing a book, and one day his wife sat him down and gave him the confidence he needed to start putting his imagination on paper. From then on, his creativity knew no bounds and he poured his heart and soul into his writing.

Now, David weaves tales of pulse-pounding realism and nightmare-inducing horror where his years in uniform have given him an unparalleled edge into crafting characters who come alive on the page. — and sometimes die there too. David holds an MFA in Creative Writing and moonlights as a staff writer at Indie Author Magazine.
