Who I Am

I'm a novelist living in the Rocky Mountain northwest. My training is in law, and I worked as a securities lawyer at a major international firm and inhouse at two multinational semiconductor manufacturers before taking up writing fiction. I am a lover of language and languages, a guitarist and self-recorder, and a serious reader. I am married to a powerful and clever woman and we have three devious children, but they don't appear much in this blog. This blog is about writing.

What I Write

I have been writing fiction full-time since 2010. I write speculative fiction (roughly, I mean fantasy, science fiction, space opera, steampunk, cyberpunk, superhero, alternate history, dystopian fiction, horror and related genres) for all audiences. I have written and am writing novels for middle grade, young adult and adult readers. I'm not on the bookshelf yet, but you'll be seeing me there soon.

Where Else You Can Find Me

I tweet: @DavidJohnButler (look over to the right side of the screen for some recent tweets).

Also, I'm on Google+, Facebook and Goodreads.

Finally, you can reach me by e-mail. My e-mail address is david-dot-john-dot-butler-at-hotmail-dot-com.

People I Work With

My writing group is the Story Monkeys: Platte Clark, Michael Dalzen, Erik Holmes and Eric Patten.
