David Haws



Welcome to my literary universe! I'm David Haws, an author whose imagination knows no bounds. Thrillers, dark fantasy, spy escapades, time-traveling odysseys – I dive into them all, blending adventure with a touch of the supernatural. I reside in the breathtaking landscapes of Washington State, USA, and when I'm not conjuring up worlds on paper, you'll find me at the movies, exploring new destinations, braving cold showers, and, of course, lost in the enchanting world of books.

David’s bio

A s an avid reader myself, my literary tastes are as diverse as my writing. Terry Pratchett's whimsy, Donald Westlake's gripping narratives (and his darker alias, Richard Stark), and the magical allure of J.K. Rowling's wizarding world are some of my favorites. However, I don't limit myself to fiction; psychology, religion, entrepreneurship, and self-help also have a home on my bookshelf. In fact, I'm on a mission to amass a literal ton of books – halfway there and counting!.

By day, I'm a civil engineer navigating the concrete jungles, but by night, I'm a dreamer weaving tales that span genres. My journey into storytelling began in the warm embrace of Arizona, where my family's quest for free entertainment led us to the local haven of books – the library. Those childhood trips sparked my love for storytelling, evolving from playful dabbling to the completion of my first novel, "Fractured," after college.


"Shadow Sport" marked my debut into the published realm, a journey that saw me huddled under blankets in the icy winters of Utah, furiously typing away. Originally, I ventured into writing under the pseudonym Ethan Cobb, but now, all my creations unite under my real name..

With three lively boys and a beautiful wife, my life is a tapestry of chaos and joy in the ever-changing weather of Washington State. I now keep a library at home, fueling my book addiction and inspiring the next generation of readers.

My writing journey isn't without its quirks. I once crafted a masterpiece about a ninja character on a Nintendo game at the tender age of eight, only to discover that publishers preferred more than four pages of large, penciled stories. Live and learn, right?

"Summoning Dark" unfolded over years, its ending eluding me until I revisited the manuscript with fresh eyes. The ebb and flow of ideas continue, promising more adventures beyond the pages of my books.

The Shadow Sport Trilogy was my inaugural trilogy, a testament to my belief in "Fiction Without Limits. Every Book a New Frontier." Join me on this literary adventure, where the unexpected is the norm, and imagination knows no boundaries.

So, grab a mug, fill it with cereal (preferably Lucky Charms), and immerse yourself in a world where every book is a new frontier waiting to be explored. I hope you enjoy the journey as much as I did weaving it together.
