Risuko (33 page)

David Kudler
is not afraid of heights. He just has a healthy respect for depths. “I'm as surprised as anyone,” he says, “that I've written a book featuring a girl who loves to be as high up in the air as possible.”

An editor and author, he lives just north of the Golden Gate Bridge with his wife, actor/teacher/author Maura Vaughn, their author-to-be daughters, and their (apparently) non-literary cats.

He is the founder, publisher, and editor-in-chief for Stillpoint
Digital
Press. Since 1999, he has overseen the publications program of the Joseph Campbell Foundation, for which he has edited three
posthumous
volumes of Campbell's previously unpublished work (
Pathways to Bliss
,
Myths of Light
and
Sake & Satori
) and managed the publication of over sixty print, ebook, print, audio, and video titles, including the third edition of the seminal
Hero with a Thousand Faces
. He is honored to serve as the vice-president for the Bay Area Independent Publisher's Association (BAIPA). He also blogs on books and publishing for Huffington Post.

Risuko
is his first novel. His children's picture books 
The Seven Gods of Luck
, 
Shlomo Travels to Warsaw
,
and 
How Raven Brought Back the Light
 (all co-written with his wife Maura Vaughn) are available as the Winter Tales. He is currently at work on
Bright-Eyes,
the second book in the Seasons of the Sword series, as well as six
Kunoichi
Companion Tales.
