David Estes began writing in 2009 and has been self-publishing ever since, building a catalog that now spans seventeen series and over seventy books. He writes across age ranges and subgenres, from the underground dystopian world of The Dwellers to the mark-bearing warriors of the Fatemarked Epic, but most of his books share a focus on young characters facing high-stakes conflicts in invented worlds.
His YA years in the early 2010s produced some of his most popular series: the post-apocalyptic Country Saga, the angel-and-demon paranormal Evolution Trilogy, and the underground survival story of The Dwellers. Around 2017 he shifted toward adult epic fantasy, and the Fatemarked Epic — eight books published in just two years — brought him a wider readership. The Kingfall Histories followed in 2021, and he has continued releasing new series regularly since then, including the ongoing Forsworn Oath.
Estes also writes for younger readers with the middle grade Nikki Powergloves series, and his output includes standalone novels, short fiction, and an anthology. His books are available in ebook and print through Amazon.
