David J. Liebeg





Fantasy Author


At the age of 51, I decided to become a writer when for most of my life my imagination could come up with far off worlds and characters. With encouragement from my fiance and my family, I took a class on how to write a novel from an author that has made a name for herself (Carissa Andrews, you might know). I kinda figured she knew what she was talking about. She taught me the lay of the land on how to become an author.


My fiance is my rock. She believes in me when I don't. She is my everything.


I write fantasy books.
