Today’s featured author is David Alyn Gordon, an award-winning and internationally read writer based in Arizona. A lifelong fan of science fiction, mysteries, thrillers, and historical tales, David now combines those passions in his own adventurous stories.

He is the creator of the Jigsaw, Case File, and The Adventure of Moly series—imaginative sagas of time-traveling teens, supernatural investigators, and even time-traveling dogs caught in major historical events, many of which never appear in the standard history books.

An educator at heart, David has served as a teacher, principal, and founder of the Grand Canyon College Preparatory Academy. Today, he continues to inspire as an Instructional Assistant at Roosevelt Elementary School in Mesa, while also writing political commentary for Blog for Arizona. Visit www.DavidAlynGordon.com.
