David Swing was raised in Wyoming and Arizona. He and his wife, Carol, now live in the mountains of Western North Carolina. David's first experiences with Faeries came when he was a young child living in Wyoming. His next contact with them arose after he had married and moved from Arizona to North Carolina. David's books are a result of his ongoing communication and experiences with the Faire Folke since 1997. You can find more information and read selected book excerpts at celticwisdom.net.
David is a direct descendant of David Swing, a controversial 1800's reverend and author. David sees the world through the eyes of a non-traditional Celtic Christian who cares deeply about nature. While continuing to work on new books about the Faerie, he also leads worship services to honor the ancient Celtic holidays.
