My name is David Krause and I am from Sunnyvale, California.

I grew up on West Remington Street in the 1990s across the road from a church, where some evenings teenagers would skateboard until darkness.

I would sit at my dining room table and watch them and want to do kickflips too. But I was not so good at skateboarding, so I watched Jeopardy with my dad.

Now, I write books, which you can find on my website here. In my writing desk I keep this note:

“O, play me some merry dump to comfort me.”
