About the Author
David M. Swindle

David M. Swindle took over in 2021 as Liberty Island Media Group's new owner, Publisher, and Editor-In-Chief. He joined LI in May of 2015, initially as West Coast Editor. He previously worked as associate editor of PJ Media from 2011-2015 where he grew the PJ Lifestyle vertical, and associate editor of FrontPageMag from 2009-2011 where he developed the media criticism site NewsReal Blog as its managing editor.
David double-majored in English (creative writing emphasis) and Political Science, graduating from Ball State University in 2006. After years of feeling torn between creative work and political activism, David now embraces the late Andrew Breitbart’s aphorism that “Politics is downstream from culture.”
As a novel editor David will consider books of just about any genre or type (he hands off romance, young adult, legal, and military titles to those better equipped on the team). His current areas of strongest interest include science fiction, fantasy, thriller/suspense, hard-boiled detective and crime, horror, westerns, historical, alternate history, speculative, cultural satire, literary, and religious fiction. He also reviews nonfiction submissions on politics, arts, media, faith, and counterculture.
His first novel he both edited and published is Tom Cosentino's The Art of Looking for Trouble.
Liberty Island titles which David edited include Justice, Inc by J.P. Medved, Mad Jones, Heretic: The Accidental Prophet, Book 1 by Quin Hillyer, Silver & Lead: A Novella of the Westby David Churchill Barrow and MaryLu Barrow, Snowflake’s Chance: The 2016 Campaign Diary of Justin T. Fairchild, Social Justice Warriorby Curtis Edmonds, Mad Jones, Hero: The Accidental Prophet, Book 2 by Quin Hillyer, Mad Jones, Agonistes: The Accidental Prophet, Book 3 by Quin Hillyer, Pulse of the Goddess: The American Blackout, Book 1 by Fred Tribuzzo, Slaves Beneath the Stars: American Blackout, Book 2 by Fred Tribuzzo, Gangster Town: The American Blackout, Book 3by Fred Tribuzzo, and First Shot: Jin & Tonick, Book 1 by Bokerah Brumley.
David's articles have been published at such publications as The Daily Wire, The Washington Examiner, The Investigative Project on Terrorism, The Algemeiner, The American Spectator, The Daily Caller, The California Courier, Campus Watch, Rebel Media, Big Hollywood, and The Indianapolis Star. He currently lives in Burbank, California. Follow him on Twitter @DaveSwindle.
Some owners of huskies protest that, despite appearances, the husky is the farthest thing from a wolf, being one of the oldest and purest dog breeds, having been bred in isolation until modern times. They need not protest. All dogs are, strictly speaking, wolves (familiaris is just a subspecies of canis lupus and they can and do cross-breed). Therefore a breed kept in relative isolation would be even closer to the common ancestor of both, and the husky was bred to keep many lupine characteristics needed for its job – pulling a sled in rough conditions. Wolves are noble and… Read more »

Thank you for your thoughts. Yes, there is the pack mentality, but strangely there is also an individualist and stubborn streak too, at least in our Maura. But I understand that that is also normal for the breed.
