David Decker:

David has always been passionate about fantasy, science fiction, and anime. His love of these genres and active imagination have intertwined into his art, shaping his creative journey into writing.

Kyra of the North is his first novel and a testament to his belief that anything is possible with hard work and perseverance. During the early years of David’s education, it became evident that he struggled with reading and writing and was not progressing with his classmates. After being tested, he was classified with a learning disability, which later would be classified as a form of dyslexia that affected how he comprehended and understood the structure of words when reading or writing. With the support of his family and educators, David was enrolled in special programs and classes through his education to help him adapt and develop tools to help him throughout his life.
David obtained a BA in Graphic Arts from Western Connecticut State University and later an MS in Interactive Communication from Quinnipiac University.
Even with success in his education and career, David has always feared and often avoided writing. The worry about making mistakes or being misunderstood always worried him. While writing Kyra of the North, not only did he find a passion for writing through this experience, but he also learned not to fear trying something new and challenging, as you never know where it will lead you.



Kyra of the North:

One can’t choose their parents or the life they were born into, but one can choose to be who they will become.
Born a Lowlander, Kyra lives on the outskirts of the city of Mountain Side. Growing up, she didn’t know her father, but her mother did what she could to ensure her daughter’s happiness. However, Kyra’s mother worries about what others might do to her daughter if they discover what she is capable of. Because of this, she keeps their life as quiet as possible and only ventures from their home when necessary to purchase supplies from the city.

Since turning seventeen, Kyra has become restless and wants to experience more than just their home and the fields around it. She wants to experience the city and the people within it. With the harvest upon them, Kyra convinces her reluctant mother to allow her to find work as a field hand. While working, Kyra is befriended by two teenage field workers from within the city, and she starts to experience things for the first time. As her world opens up, Kyra learns of a dark secret about her that forever changes her life and forces her to figure out her place in the world.
