Based on the information provided, David H. Fears is a historian and writer with a particular interest in mystery and time periods from previous generations. His career is grounded in this love for mystery, and he has had a successful journey in this field.
In 2004, Fears began working on a monumental project, a 4-volume work titled "Mark Twain Day By Day," which is an annotated chronology in the life of Samuel Langhorne Clemens. Each volume is 1150-1450 pages long and has been acquired by most Ivy League schools and major libraries. Before embarking on this project, Fears discovered that Mark Twain had traveled through his hometown in 1895, which sparked his interest in the author's life.
Fears has also written a hardboiled private eye detective novel, the Mike Angel Series, which he describes as being great fun to write. He enjoys writing complex page-turners with sex, violence, and psychological reflection, and his novels reflect this. He has also started a new romance/mystery series set right after Pearl Harbor in Portland, Oregon, with the recent addition of "Quentin's Escape," the second book in the series.
Fears has a background in composition theory and has taught writing at three for-profit colleges. He has also written and edited four volumes of "Mark Twain Day By Day" and briefly taught Literature and Composition at Devry University. He has published all of his novels in ebook, paperback, and audiobook formats, and has also written and published a book on self-editing. Fears shares some similarities with Mark Twain, as he loves cats, is a father to three girls, and has lived in various parts of the country. He is now taking a break from all things Mark Twain.
