Author: David Martin Anderson
Bio: Born in Hawaii and a proud Pacific Islander, David Martin Anderson today resides in the Texas Hill Country with his wife, Mary Jane Law. Anderson has written over ten novels and novellas with most available through Amazon, which rates THE LAST GOOD HORSE as "one of the 20 greatest horse stories ever written." His novel, THE COWBOYS OF HADDINGTON MOOR, was optioned for a screenplay. HUGGER, a novella, was awarded the Faulkner-Wisdom gold medal in 2021; three other stories garnered 'short-listed finalist' distinctions in that same contest in 2020 and 2021. While new to the genre of short story prose, seven of his short stories have been published in worthy literary journals since 2023: 'Passager Journal,' 'The Write Launch' (twice), 'Sierra Nevada Review,' 'Lone Mountain Literary Society Journal,' 'The Raven,' and 'Rappahannock Review.' He is also a semi-finalist and finalist for the 'Lascaux Review' 2023 Short Fiction Prize. In 2023, Anderson became the oldest applicant ever accepted into the University of Iowa Writers Workshop. In 2022, he was inducted into America's Literary Who's-Who for his contributions to the craft of writing. Anderson's current writing project is a collection of short stories, which will become available in 2024. -Amazon
