David Boyle began his writing career exploring the darkness of horror. The world of cinema is what originally sparked his imagination and instilled in him the passion he needed to interact with language. His first book, Blood Works -a collection of nine short stories, was published by Arctic Wolf in February 2008. Shortly thereafter, another stroke of luck came into his life: One of his tales, "Blindsided," was made into a short film by Director David L. Jackson from Canada. The film was accepted at The Small Town Film Festival and premiered on Halloween 2008. "Blindsided" can be viewed online at www.reelconnect.com. Eventually he introduced more of his work to the world and managed to publish stories in magazines and books.

Being a horror writer alone (although he is still a huge fan of the genre and writes those types of tales) did not completely satisfy David. The notion of working within set boundaries made him rethink his agenda, his platform. It was that development, early in his career, that proved to be the turning point. He decided to diversify his creative interests and began composing an assortment of writings: science fiction, drama, thriller, suspense, horror, romance, and crime. He found it more fulfilling to focus on bringing to life the pictures he was seeing in his imagination- regardless of what they were- as opposed to being stalled in one place. David followed his heart and began assembling an extensive catalogue of varied short stories, essays, poetry, editorials, articles, and volumes of aphorisms on the writing craft- a handful of which are published here at Target Audience Magazine.

Today, David's approach to his craft remains unchanged: He writes what he feels, what he sees, what he hears, whenever his muse beckons. Indeed, that is the path that warms his soul every day, the one he'll continue to tread, and he is thankful to have fans reading his experiments.

Grateful for his success and eager to help and inspire others, David has thoroughly enjoyed the numerous opportunities he's been given to speak with various writing groups, and he continues to spread his passion for the art when called upon by libraries in his home state of New Jersey. He also takes great pleasure in meeting new and enthusiastic people at book signings and other appearances. Readers can learn more about David by visiting him at: Myspace.com/davidbfear
