About


Hi! My name is David Powers King (or DPK, I'm easy). Long before I could form letters, I had fallen in love with stories. What started out as a preschool poem had grown into a sci-fi adventure that led to my first complete novel at age 15.

I dabbled with film and animation in my hometown near LA for a few years, but writing proved to be my true ambition. Today, I'm an author of Fantasy (Woven) and Sci-Fi (The Undead Road). I'm something of an animation and anime nerd as well, and a frequent panelist at FanX.

By day, I am a Licensed Substance Use Disorder Counselor specializing in dual diagnosis, and I'm a writer of science fiction and fantasy by night. I also own the self-publishing imprint, Dashboard Books. You can find my works on Amazon and animation review contributions on Cinematic Universe Ultimate.

I'm represented by Meredith Bernstein from the Meredith Bernstein Literary Agency. Please enjoy The Cosmic Laire! I value your visit.
