David Healey is a writer and journalist based in the Delmarva Peninsula region of the eastern United States. He has written across several genres, but his biggest body of work is the Caje Cole / World War II series, a twelve-book run of sniper thrillers that follow a backwoods marksman through the major campaigns of the Second World War.

Beyond the Caje Cole books, Healey has written Civil War adventure novels (the Rebel series), a Pacific theater sniper series, a mystery series set in the Delmarva region, and young adult naval adventures in The Sea Lord Chronicles. His non-fiction work focuses on Chesapeake Bay history, covering subjects like the War of 1812, regional folklore, and famous storms.

Healey’s fiction leans toward action and period detail, with his military thrillers being the most popular. The Caje Cole series in particular has built a steady readership among fans of World War II fiction who enjoy a recurring protagonist and battle-by-battle progression through the war.
