Darksolus

David Andrew Crawford
I have always had a great imagination and love to make up stories. As a youth I played the game Dungeons and Dragons and my novel is the story of Dark Solus, the character I invented for the game.

    Biography

    David Andrew Crawford was born in Fredericton, New Brunswick, Canada in 1969, the only son of Lewis and Martha Crawford. When he was three, he and his two older sisters, Michele and Stacy, moved to Ottawa, Ontario and when he was eight, the whole family moved to Wendover, Ontario where he spent most of his childhood. David attended grammar and high school in the small village of Plantagenet and graduated in the year 1987. While in high school his love for all sports grew as he excelled at almost every sport, winning many awards in baseball, basketball and volleyball just to name a few. He went on to study psychology at Carleton University and then went in pursuit of a degree on Computer Science at Algonquin College until finally settling on web designing and development as a career choice. In 2005 he started his own web design company named Neotenic Design Inc., a business he started with a fellow student and friend from the same school. It was at this time his father passed away and David delved back into one of his passions, reading fantasy novels, to help take his mind off the loss of his father. Several years had passed and in a passing conversation with his mother, he was urged to write a story about a character he had made as a child playing Dungeons and Dragons. February 7, 2011 his Book, Dark Solus: An Assassin’s Tale, was released.

    Inspiration

    Playing Dungeons and Dragons and reading Piers Anthony, J.R.R. Tolkien and David Eddings were just a few of the factors that inspired me to write fantasy.
