Dave Munsick is the author of many short stories and published newspaper articles . . .

Buck Brannaman says this about Dave’s writing……

Dave Munsick writes what he knows.  Listen up close friend!

 

 

What kind of stories would this guy write?

“It’s just like writing a song except the rhythm and rhyme have their own pulse.  When you climb inside to unfold a story, it sets you free – kind of like heading out the front door first thing on a spring morning.”

Dave writes words that resonate a fine line between perception and reality and walk an unbeaten trail to a timeless horizon.  Many of his stories are tales of musical adventures, but they are really much more than this; they are gates that have swung open into the land and her people.
