About the Author
Welcome to my author page!I'm David Haskell and I've just debuted my first novel, Too Much Information (or else I've written a bunch of novels, and just haven't updated this page in a while lol).I live near Tokyo, Japan with my wife and our nine year old daughter, and have been living in and around the Tokyo area for the past twelve years. Prior to that I spent some time traveling back and forth to Japan drumming at Tokyo Disneyland and DisneySea on trashcans and other assorted ridiculous instrumentation, as well as similar gigs at DisneyWorld and Universal Studios Orlando.I was born and raised in the Boston area, with brief residencies in California and Florida. Although I spend most of my time in Japan these days, my family and I love returning to New England as often as we can.Thanks for taking the time to check out my page, hope you enjoy Too Much Information!
