David John JaegersForty years of fascination with astrological science layered on environmental engineering, sustainable agriculture, construction management, science teaching and nursing has produced David John Jaegers, an author with a unique perspective on life andcontemporary fiction. David has displayed a voracious appetite for education. Catholic grade school, Jesuit high school and University, and a Master's Degree in Engineering and Public Policy have produced a man who possesses the intellectual skills necessary to write compelling fiction. Since high school English class, David has viewed his life as a patient process of deliverance to this point. Resolve and perseverance have been everyday concepts. David and his wife Catherine showcase their passion for independence on their farm in the Missouri Ozarks, a supportive setting for a unique and innovative brand. A philosopher at heart and a writer by talent, David willfully infuses his work with a potent combined dose of Astrology and Christian Existentialism. Exposing his own self-image, that of a pioneer, David has a distinct bias for depicting characters devoted to shifting the paradigm. An important guiding principle of David's writing philosophy is plausibility. He believes the line between fiction and fantasy in modern literature has become blurred. For David, fiction implies taking a story that actually could happen and writing it as if it actually had. It's not about special effects. It's about the effect on the reader's consciousness. That which had never been considered must be presented as if it were as real as anything in our experience.. A member of the Independent Book Publishers Association, the Saint Louis Publishers Association and the Saint Louis Writers Guild, David is committed to a full-time pursuit of his craft. He has attending the Writers Digest National Conference, the Book Expo America, and the Decatur Book Festival. He is also the proud recipient of a scholarship to IBPA's Publishing University in April, 2017. Read More Read Less
