DAVID POYER  --  THE HOME PAGE  david poyer



Welcome aboard!  This site provides updates on new publications, a schedule of upcoming appearances, bio data, and a small archive of articles, interviews, and essays.  It has information on works in print, including downloadable chapters; a section on collector's editions; and advice for beginning writers. 

My fiction falls into four series -- Dan Lenson, Tiller Galloway, Hemlock County, and the Civil War at Sea books -- along with the occasional one-off, such as the new sailing novel, GHOSTING. For details on each series, see below.  Most  bookstores, independent or chain, either stock my books already or can get them quickly.  To order from them, note down the title and the ISBN from here, and phone your friendly local retailer. Most stores can get a volume for you in only a few days, even if they don't have it on the shelf at the moment.  Another choice is one of the online booksellers.

My latest books -- THE THREAT, THE WEAPON, THE CRISIS, GHOSTING, THE TOWERS -- are available on Kindle and Nook as well.

For collectors and gift buyers -- I have a limited number of hardcover first editions of my titles.  To have them autographed or personally inscribed for your collection, or as a personalized gift for people who love books, see Ordering Information -- First Editions, below. 

What am I doing right now?  A sailing thriller with a touch of the supernatural, GHOSTING, came out in softcover last August 2.  For more info on it, including reviews, see "New Books" below, or just Instant Order GHOSTING here.  The link provides easy access to most online retailers, including IndieBound, and you can order the Kindle edition too.  The latest Dan Lenson/Modern Navy novel was THE TOWERS, A Novel of 9/11, published in hardcover September 2011.  That's available on Kindle, Nook, etc. etc. too.   Order THE TOWERS here.

 I'm still on the faculty of Wilkes University, in Wilkes-Barre, PA, teaching in the MA/MFA in Creative Writing program, with residencies in January and June of each year.  This is a good, tough program.  I mentor new novelists, one on one, and some of my students are very promising indeed.  For more info on that program, see Writing Tips and Advice, below.

Feel free to Like my Facebook site, David Poyer.  You'll get occasional updates, when there really is something new or a special offer available.

This site gets revised and updated several times a year, so check back occasionally for fresh material.  Thanks for dropping by, and my sincere thanks to all my excellent fans for your support over the years!  You really do make this the best job in the world!

Yours in the Word,

Dave.
