Biography
David Keck was born in, and grew up in, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.[1] Whilst living in Winnipeg he attended the University of Winnipeg, where he got master's degrees in English Literature, History, and Education.[1] He subsequently moved to the UK to get a master's degree in Creative Writing from the University of Sussex.[1] In 2004 he moved to New York City,[1] America, to marry Kate Brallier[4] (an author herself),[5] and to teach middle school in New York's Washington Heights.[1]
Works
Keck's novels all recount the adventures of protagonist Durand Col,[2] yet there is currently no series name. The first novel in the series was In the Eye of Heaven,[6] and was published in the UK in 2006,[7] and the US and Canada in 2007,[8][9] by Tor.[2] The novel went through many versions before publication, with fellow Canadian author, Steven Erikson, having a hand in reading and editing the drafts.[10] Keck's writing style has been compared to Erikson, mainly because he likes to go against the grain. He says that he "flinch[es] at an elf who's a dab hand with a longbow. Conventions and clichés: it's all in the smiles and cringes."[3]
