David Pierce has co-authored two children’s books published by Zonderkidz with his comedian wife, Chonda Pierce. He has also published 10 short stories in Alfred Hitchcock’s Mystery Magazine and Ellery Queen’s Mystery Magazine. He taught a two-week fiction crime writing class at Taylor University in Ft. Wayne, IN in 2004 and will return for another stint in 2007. Currently he is a professor of English at Middle Tennessee State University.

Kathryn Mackel speaking of one of David’s manuscripts wrote, "David Pierce is an extraordinary writer and Out There in the Woods is an extraordinary book. He combines the tender and the humorous in a way that only a rare talent can. He is, perhaps, fiction's equivalent of Donald Miller."
