Award-wining author, David Homick, loves the creative aspect of his work, which was not something that was encouraged growing up. He weaves a touch of metaphysical wisdom and inspiration into intriguing and suspenseful mysteries, thrillers, and contemporary love stories. He believes that fiction should do more than entertain. Good fiction causes us to see ourselves and our world in a different light, creating an emotional resonance that remains with us long after the final page has been read.

Many readers will in some way identify with his characters, whose outer circumstances and inner demons stand in the way of the love and sense of belonging that they seek. Their journeys have many twists and turns, and at times seem hopeless, but through perseverance they learn the key to building meaningful relationships and creating the life they ultimately deserve. Of course, we should never rule out a clever twist of fate or subtle divine intervention along the way. This is true of both his human and canine protagonists.

One of the underlying themes of his early writing, as well as his life, was inspired by a favorite quote from George Eliot. "It's never too late to be what you might have been."

The screenplay adaptation of Reason to Live was a finalist at the 2018 Beverly Hills Film Festival.
