Biography

Author, novelist, screenwriter, poet, fiction (and other keywords) David Barlow grew up in the cushy suburban digs of Ridgewood, New Jersey. Graduating up there in his class at Emerson College with a BFA in creative writing he pilgrimaged to Los Angeles for the script business. Skittering through several big Hollywood near-misses David plied a trade in writing copy, PR, and professional collateral. All while honing that edge for prose, verse, etc. Some time now those efforts have been enjoyed from the wilds of New Hampshire.

Plots like a screenplay, characters like a novel, prose that goes poetic. Each of these twenty pieces brings you incisively off the map. With sorbets of flash fiction interspersed to cleanse the palate. The short story rules are pretty simple: The faster you bring it the more off you can go, til they’re just flying over all kinds of stuff.

Told from the point of view of a suddenly homeless mental patient wandering the streets as his meds wear off, Stone Flag takes us on a journey into one man's past.

Ghosts have no interest in scaring us. None. Of course that doesn’t mean they don’t exist, or don’t have an agenda. What it can mean is their motives are open for interpretation. And there do all the problems start.
Ten Visions of the Fab Five by
Price: $9.99 USD. Words: 25,510. Language: English. Published: July 18, 2017 . Categories: Fiction » Alternative history, Fiction » Literature » Literary
What if you could lead a fantasy life, I’m talking big as it gets. Nothing could top being a fifth Beatle. At least til you woke up. Just because you don’t remember doesn’t mean it has no effect. Especially when that dream continues every night for years on end.
Virgin Words by
Price: $9.99 USD. Words: 15,610. Language: English. Published: July 18, 2017 . Categories: Poetry » Contemporary Poetry
Poetry can hold up a mirror, revealing not the poet so much as ourselves. A view far too specific to be found in the verse. Words are launching points for your reflection. The lines are a child’s fist holding the bobbing red balloon that is your lofted view. Conjure beyond me each poem asks; the rest is for you.
