A native of Paris and Lexington, Kentucky, David A. Collier earned two degrees at the University of Kentucky before entering the corporate world. He later returned to academic life and earned his PhD from The Ohio State University. For forty-one years, he taught all levels of students as well as participants in executive programs within the business schools of Duke University, the University of Virginia, The Ohio State University, Florida Gulf Coast University, and The University of Warwick in the United Kingdom. As of early 2023, his research has attracted over 37,000 reads and 4,000 citations according to one source, ResearchGate. 

After decades of authoring award-winning research articles, business cases, and five college textbooks, he wanted a new challenge: writing novels that make a difference. He could have written a science fiction book series with no relevance to issues of the day, but David didn’t choose the easier path. The following quote embodies the approach he followed in past academic and novel works: “Do not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.” (Source: Unknown) David hopes you enjoy the stories in the book series, and that they inspire you to protect our home planet, so future generations can enjoy its majesty.

David is the author of a science fiction series (www.theentity.us), Earth’s Ecocide, as well as Romance in My Rambler using the pen name David A. Bourbon. He found the challenge of writing novels compared to textbooks quite different. He made many rookie mistakes. Why does he keep trying? Because of his sincere love for our species, all life-forms, and Earth.

David lives in Florida with his wife and their Shih Tzu doggie. When not doing the tasks of everyday life, David reads astronomy, philosophy, sustainability, climate change, and science literature, and enjoys golf, boating, sports, and, of course, everything about nature. He dedicates the Earth’s Ecocide book series to those who love this tiny speck of wonder called Earth. We must protect our home!
