David Bruns grew up on a small farm in the mountains of northeastern Pennsylvania. He got his undergraduate degree at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland, and spent the next 6 years as an officer in the US Navy submarine force chasing the Russians at the end of the Cold War. After leaving the Navy, David spent the next few decades in the high-tech sector until he decided to chuck it all and start over as a writer.

A self-confessed travel junkie, he and his family have visited over two dozen different countries in Asia, North America and Europe. Today, he lives in the middle of the United States with his family.

The Memory Bank (2024)
(Memory Bank, book 1)
Raquel Byrnes and Brian Shea
"Part police procedural, part technothriller, all action...a murder mystery where the thieves are after the only thing that is unique to each of us: our memories."
thumb
The Loyal Nine (2015)
(Boston Brahmin, book 1)
Bobby Akart
"he authors spend a good portion of book one setting up the collapse scenarios. They grounded their narrative in current-day events, then took them to the next level in this post-apocalyptic fiction series."
