David Keene is the author of sports and adventure stories, including Repossession, The Ice Bears, and Promised Land. He was born and raised in Springfield, Mo. and educated at Missouri State University. He has degrees in Creative Writing and Print and Internet Journalism. The author specializes in writing action-packed stories that have layered underlining themes, portraying thoughtful characters who try to make their way through an increasingly complex and demanding world. Subplots of mystery, geopolitical intrigue, economic struggle, psychological crisis, fractured social networks and environmental degradation are threaded through tales about people who often make their way through the world through determined physical effort.

David is driven by a lifelong interest in sports and a lifelong love of literature, believing that the two can be blended into stories that deliver both adrenalin and intellectual stimulation to a reader. Whether the action takes place on a grassy field, on a frozen ice rink, underneath the tree boughs of an ever-shrinking wilderness, or atop the frozen waters of the polar regions, the dramas of life and love are portrayed by characters who combine almost mythical strength with all too human weakness. And the hard struggles of animals as they try to survive in increasingly unpredictable and undependable habitats are also given a voice, as the ravages of climate change leave nothing on the planet untouched.
