L. David Hesler is an author of horror, fantasy, and science fiction for teen and adult readers. When he isn’t crafting weird tales, he is either pounding away on a Schecter guitar in his home studio or he’s trying to catch up on a reading list that’s been growing since 1995.

L. David Hesler’s work includes the short story collection “Prismatica” and the novel “Children of Aerthwheel.” His poetry and short fiction have appeared in the literary magazines “New Wine,” “The Ivy Review,” and “State of Imagination.” He is the author of the ongoing humorous fantasy, "Divine Intermission." His original play “Public Domain” was produced in 2012. Last year, Hesler re-imagined his own independently produced web comic “The Adventures of Roswell Newton” as a work of ongoing serial fiction. He also wrote the twisted sci-fi horror serial "Deadtown." His most recent work is a mash-up of super heroes and comedy, "The Team Up."

Hesler has also written and performed music for several alternative rock albums with the bands DeepSkyTraveler and The Pale Hypnotic. In 2011, he released an album of music inspired by his novel “Children of Aerthwheel.” Occasionally, he performs live music in the virtual world of Second Life. For approximately seven years, Hesler was heavily involved in local theater to the point that he co-founded a production company that ran performances of “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)” from 2000 to 2003.

When he isn't writing, drawing, or making music, he spends time with his wife, his dog, and his cat.
