David Patneaude finally heeded the advice, "It's never too late to have a happy childhood," and began writing seriously (more or less) in the mid 1980's. His first novel, SOMEONE WAS WATCHING, winner of South Dakota and Utah book awards, was published in 1993. His books have been placed on more than thirty young readers' awards lists in states across the country and honored by the New York Public Library (THE LAST MAN'S REWARD), the Society of School Librarians International (FRAMED IN FIRE), the Winnetka (Illinois) Public Library's "One Book, Two Villages" program (THIN WOOD WALLS), and the Washington State Public Library (THIN WOOD WALLS). His novel EPITAPH ROAD was first published in March 2010 and was later named to the Nebraska Golden Sower Award list. A revised digital edition was published in February 2017. His newest novel for young adult readers, FAST BACKWARD, was published to much critical acclaim by Koehler Books in June 2018. Enjoy! When he's not sitting in a coffee shop writing, or at a school or library or conference talking about writing, or out on the running trail thinking about writing, he's at home in Woodinville, Washington with his wife Judy, a former middle school librarian.
