About David e Temple

I tell human stories with a pulse — thrillers that cut deep, a practical memoir that refuses bullshit, and characters who fight for clarity in a noisy world.

Before the books, there were nearly three decades of radio, voice work, and performing for TV & Film, plus a lifetime of watching and listening to people when they thought no one noticed.

All of it shows up on the page. If a story doesn’t feel real in your chest, I’m not interested in writing it. Thanks for stopping by.
