- David Martin by Kyle Michel Sullivan
About David Martin by Kyle Michel Sullivan
David Martin was invited to go on the journey of a lifetime to meet a legendary king…but he couldn’t believe it. He was just a boy of twelve summers, and this was a man he’d revered his entire life. The honor was great and his excitement was boundless. However, during the six-day journey to the castle, David learned not everyone thought so well of the king, and he began to wonder if the man was truly the hero he’d imagined…or if he’d always been nothing but a legend.

I’ve always been a story teller but only recently have a drummed up the courage to share my stories in writing. When my kids were young one of our favorite activities was to lay in bed, just before bedtime and make up stories. They would get to pick out some of the characters and I’d just start spinning the tale. They loved making me backup and change the story to fit their mind for the night. Since they are all too old for this now, I’ve taken to writing.Today I am pleased to make my first two works available to you on Amazon. They are both set in the Privateer Tales universe. The first book, Rookie Privateer is the cornerstone of the series. It introduces the main cast. The second book, Fool Me Once, is a shorter, novella length work. While preparing Rookie Privateer for publication, I found myself daydreaming about what must have happened to one of the pirates that we were introduced to in Rookie Privateer and so Fool Me Once was introduced.
Currently I’m working on the third book, a full length novel, with a working title of Parley. As of middle of June, I’m about 65% done with the writing and hope to have a delivered product by Fall of 2014.
My influences are pretty wide ranging. Recent works I have enjoyed are; Elizabeth Moon’s Vatta’s war, Nathan Lowell’s Solar Clipper Tales. Perhaps my favorite modern author is L.E. Modesitt Jr. with his Recluce and Imager series. Early on I enjoyed just about anything Heinlein wrote, including, Starship Troopers and Have Spacesuit – Will Travel. I also loved Asimov, Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle and when they got together for A Mote in God’s Eye it was magic!
I have had to separate my writing career from my professional career so as to not make things too confusing at work, so, yes Jamie McFarlane is a pseudonym. All of my writing is done in the evening hours and on the weekends. I have to admit to looking forward to coming home every evening so that I can spend time with my imaginary friends.
