David Givens

David Givens is a unique author able to transcend the normal crudeness associated with 'street lit' and combine it with the suspense of popular thriller novels with the added danger element found in the action genre. To call him a hybrid is a compliment. His stories weave profound tales of flawed people struggling to overcome their inner demons while using a sprawling Midwestern urban landscape as their backdrop.

Mr. Givens has crafted a masterpiece in his Betrayed Trilogy. His first novel, Betrayed, introduces you to a world filled with unsavory characters, misunderstood villains and a plot twist that will leave you scratching your head. The language is crude at times, but so are the situations. Mr. Givens shows maturity in his second novel, Betrayed Once Again. The story is fast paced and full of suspense. The crudeness erodes and a wonderful prose shines through. You will come away from the experience feeling that you connected with the characters and can't wait to see what happens next.

In the concluding novel, Betrayed No More, Mr. Givens takes his writing skills to another level. From the opening paragraph the story draws you in and won't let you go until its satisfying conclusion. Along the way you are treated to an action thriller that keeps you on edge and turning the pages. It is truly a fitting end to the trilogy.

David Givens is presently working on several different novels that cover a broad spectrum of genres. He also writes articles on suite101.com. In the near future he hopes to finish a movie script. He resides in Iowa with his beautiful wife and six wonderful children.
