<p>David Yerks-Young writes fiction that refuses to follow the expected path. Whether exploring historical events, religion, philosophy, mythology, or the supernatural, he finds the twist — the darker angle, the hidden truth, the version of the story that makes readers question everything they thought they knew.</p><p>Growing up as "the weird kid" in a village in New York with an overactive imagination, he learned early that the world wasn't always ready for the stories in his head. A school guidance counselor once told him not to pursue writing. Decades later, he finally stopped listening.</p><p>Wordplay is his tool, your mind is his playground, and he loves taking readers somewhere unexpected — sometimes even a reckoning… or is it wreckoning? His genre-defying work blends elements that shouldn't work together but somehow do, from Puritanical curses to ancient beliefs reborn in modern settings.</p><p>David Yerks-Young crafts stories where nothing is quite what it seems — proving the weird kid was right all along.</p>
