Thank you for this interview, David.  Can you tell us a little about yourself and how long you’ve been writing?

I’ve been writing since the mid-1990s.  My wife, Kimberly Scott, is also a fiction writer.  We both started when our oldest daughter was a baby - writing novels was something we had talked about since our first date.  In those early years, we took turns caring for the baby and writing on the computer.  That seems like a long time ago - Cabal of the Westford Knight is my fourth novel.

Do you write full-time?

I’m a real estate lawyer by trade, but I’ve pretty much given up my practice to write full-time.

Can you tell us a little about your latest book?

Numerous artifacts and sites around New England evidence a history of discovery and exploration of North America a century before Columbus.  Specifically, the evidence points to a group of Northern Europeans island-hopping across the North Atlantic in the late 1300s. Who were they, and why did they come? Well, that's where the fun — and this novel — begins.  The modern-day protagonists in the story race around New England, visiting stone towers and ancient inscriptions, as they uncover the secret history of the Knights Templar and the Jesus bloodline here in America.  One reviewer summed it up nicely: The Da Vinci Code meets National Treasure.

What was the inspiration behind your book?  Why did you feel a need to write it?
