Dave Bartell

Imagine the wonder at being the first person to open King Tut’s tomb? Dave Bartell breathes thriller into archaeology.

As a kid, he frequently tinkered in his parent’s garage. His insatiable curiosity to understand how things work led him to study biochemistry and, later, fueled a career in high technology. A what-if mindset makes his fiction plausible and realistic.

Dave lives in Los Gatos California, a small town tucked into the edge of Silicon Valley. He enjoys hiking in the hills behind his home, where beauty is still analog.
