Biography

David DeVowe writes Christian adventure for tweens, young adults and those that love a good family read. He hopes to write books that convey a renewed sense of hope, courage and respect for others.

An adventurer himself, David grew up in the wilds of Upper Michigan, and reaches into broad life-experience for his writings – from porcupines in the classroom to space travel tragedy. A former rocket scientist, and current pastor/preacher, David incorporates encounters with God in the distinctive characters of his novels.

He lives in Minnesota with his wife, the rest of their nine children—and with many of their grandchildren (on weekends).

Smashwords Interview

Where did you grow up, and how did this influence your writing?
I always say that I grew up in the sticks of Upper Michigan. Actually is was outside of a very small town with just enough children to separate into grades. My entire boyhood was an adventure in the wilds where most of what we ate we caught, shot, or grew. Many of the people I grew up with lived in very difficult situations which brought out a lot of character in all of us. These experiences heavily influence my writing, along with much larger adventures that took place into adulthood - including salvation in Jesus Christ.
Where did you get the idea for the Greatest Treasure series?
I only had the setting in mind - a small town during a period before my time. The story was born out of the first sentence in the book, when MaryAnne stepped through the schoolroom door. The rest of the book and those that follow blossomed from there. I do a lot of conceptual outlining, then I spend a lot of time on the first line, the first paragraph, and the first page. Everything I write is fictional, sprinkled with bits of reality. As a Christian fiction author, I hope the reader sees the Truth of God’s redemption story through it all.
