David Doersch brings the drama and rhythm of the stage to every story he writes.
Before turning his full attention to fiction, he spent years as a professional fight director, choreographing stage combat for theatrical productions and large-scale arena spectaculars. From blades and brawls to the precise language of movement, he trained performers to tell stories with their bodies—an expertise that now drives the visceral action and grounded physicality of his writing. When characters clash, every motion matters.
Alongside his theatrical career, Doersch has worked as a Celtic musician, honing a deep sense of rhythm, timing, and emotional pacing. That musicality carries into his prose, shaping scenes that move seamlessly from quiet tension to explosive conflict with the cadence of live performance.
A lifelong student of history, weapons, and myth, he approaches storytelling as a fully embodied craft—where movement, music, and narrative collide. He lives and writes in North Carolina, continuing to explore the spaces where performance becomes story and story comes alive on the page.
