David A. Lambert is an American author based in Knoxville, Tennessee, originally from Manchester, New Hampshire. He lives in East Tennessee with his daughter and his cat, where the Appalachian landscape and long memory of place often influence his writing.
David proudly served in the United States Marine Corps from 1982 to 1993, achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant. During his exemplary military career, he served in Operations Desert Shield and Desert Storm with the 2nd Marine Division out of Camp Lejeune, North Carolina. His service also included assignments at Camp Pendleton, California; Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center Twentynine Palms, California; Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan; Fort Gordon Army Base in Augusta, Georgia; and Naval Station Norfolk, Virginia. His years in the Marines—and the discipline, intensity, and lived experience that came with them—continue to inform the realism and emotional weight of his stories.
David publishes through Lambert House Publishing and writes across a wide range of genres. Under the name David A. Lambert, he is known for Southern Gothic and Appalachian horror, including works such as Rangatang, Hushbone, Black Lung, and Cane Creek, as well as science fiction and thrillers. He also writes spicy romance under the pen name Alana Kennedy, children’s rhyming books as Harlan Goodberry, and puzzle books under DA Lambert (Pappy’s Puzzle Books), keeping each genre distinct while maintaining a consistent voice rooted in character, atmosphere, and emotional truth.
Having lived across much of the United States—including Georgia, North Carolina, Virginia, New Hampshire, Vermont, California, Arizona, and Hawaii—and overseas in Japan, Korea, Poland, and Belgium, David brings a broad, lived-in perspective to his storytelling. His work often explores isolation, memory, moral fracture, resilience, and the quiet menace that can exist beneath familiar places.
