As I Approach Thirty-Nine: Thinking Back Hi there.Isn't Harley pretty? She was having such a great sunbeam nap, I couldn't pass up the opportunity to capture it.Why am I here today, you might ask? Even if you don't, I'm asking for us both. W...

It felt like a blog post day.

Evolving As An Author (and a secret cute cat) I hope everyone had a good long weekend! Regardless of how the world is right now, it's always nice to have a three day weekend, especially when you don't get them as often as you wish. Holidays aren'...

I told y'all I'd be ramping back up as the book got closer to release, and here I am with another blog post? This is a short one, but in it you can find some thoughts on growing as an author, Harley (my adorable cat) and the final tease of the cover!

With the second book coming along, and Fourth of July at the end of the week, Bound To Parish is FREE this week in celebration! Come down to Pointe DeLeaux and read a chilling thriller to beat the heat. Then be on the lookout later this year for the sequel!

Cover tease #2. Religion is rooted deeply in the south, so we're keeping with the theme. But what could it mean?

Returning to the blog, now with 100% more cover teases! Oh, hi there! It's Dave, that writer guy that you all may or may not remember. My last blog post was...my birthday last year? Time really flies when you're in the depths of trying to do something you'...

Whoa, what's this? A blog post? It's either a trick, or a return to the world of social media in anticipation of the next book. You'll just have to read it to find out.

Life has been hectic recently, but I come to you all bearing good news.

My self-edit for the sequel to Bound to Parish is finally finished!

I don't remember if I've given you all a title yet, but as it stands, Refining Ties should be out sometime this fall!

I'm just saying, maybe it's time to start celebrating the Ides of March as a holiday.

I think this sums up how yesterday was. Trying to get as much as I could and mourn the loss of 170 million friends. I keep thinking about a sentence I heard. "If banning TikTok in the US doesn't radicalize you, it should."

Only the bright side, I have no more excuse not to get this sequel done!

Sales have been so slow the last couple of days, so if you see this and don’t mind reposting* my book and short story posts, I would very much appreciate it!! When you’re job hunting, every cent counts lmao 😂🙈

I’ll try and repost everyone back! 🤍🤍🤍

*book posts under media tab 😘

Hey, let’s all read more.

welp, TikTok is officially gone, so I guess it's time to shout into the void here instead. I know for sure I'm not using Twitter. Facebook and Instagram might be necessary evils of the author life, however.

Either way, I'm sad.

The vibe on tiktok right now.

5 teeth lighter and on the road to recovery hopefully.

Happy New Year from Harley and I!

The sale of Bound To Parish pushed me to 80 reviews on Amazon! Thank you all so much! I'm so happy people love it, and I can't wait to bring some more of Alphonse and the Pointe to y'all later this year!

Now to just finish the story...

As we welcome in a new year (happily or not), I just want to thank everyone for giving my words a chance. I look forward to continuing to bring them to you for as long as I can!

Now, all I ask is for some well wishes about my oral surgery coming up on Thursday. 😬

Today's the final day to grab the Kindle version for only .99 cents! In celebration, here's what I consider the BEST review I've gotten for it. A "masterclass in southern gothic storytelling"?? I mean...come on now. 🥰

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie.

An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough.

So finish the thing.

Introduce yourself as an anime character

Exactly! Fresh eyes do wonders. Especially when I thought I'd never want to read it again after the fourth draft 😅

I keep going "oh, that's a good sentence. this is like a real book!" and then reminding myself it's literally the fourth I've wrote.

Just a random question for the authors of #Booksky

Have y'all ever gone back to read your book as a reader? Not as in editing or anything but after it's done and out, just sitting down to read it?

I'm working on a sequel and decided to read the first again to get the vibe back. It's an experience.

Only two more days to grab a copy of Bound To Parish for .99 cents! #indieauthor #thriller

People have still been grabbing the .99 cent Kindle version of Bound To Parish and I couldn't be happier! This is a great way to end the year, and motivate me to finish this sequel!

Woke up to another three copies sold! I seriously love everyone grabbing one.

only 99 cents until the end of the year! davefillawrites.com

I've sold 4 copies of Bound To Parish so far, and I hope those people love it! It's .99 cents until Jan. 1st if you wanna join the club of people that make my heart happy! Otherwise, I'll just be here watching this mafia documentary on Netflix.

Looking for a way to spend those Amazon gift cards from Christmas? Bound To Parish is on sale for .99 cents until the end of the year! Warm up with a tale from the bayou.

I know I haven't been on here much, but starting Dec 26th to the end of the year, the Bound To Parish ebook will only be .99 cents!

If you're looking for a way to spend those gift cards, have you considered supporting an independent author?

I'm not a fan of the mental breakdown that happens between starting and finishing a draft.

oh yeah that's a warning sign for sure 😂
