You’ve stumbled into the cybercave David Anaxagoras, writer of TV and speculative fiction. If this is your first time here, the Visitor’s Bureau is your guide to what I do, where to start reading, and how to stay in touch.

What I Write

I’m a novelist, television writer, and short story author. I wrote mostly about outsiders, usually kids, just trying to deal with the weird world. Some of my stories are set in suburbia. Some in a rusted future.

My short stories often appear in magazines like Lightspeed and most are free to read.

I also have a side-gig and sell rare and collectible science fiction and fantasy books through my small eBay shop, Writing Reptile Books.
