Author. Imaginist. Creator of Worlds.
Welcome to the Nexus!
David Earl Whitaker is a multi-genre author whose first book, "Flight of the Nosoi," is currently in search of an agent or publisher. He has several other works in progress.
From this Nexus, you can visit the world of Nosoi, or you can catch a glimpse though the portals to several others. Many ways are barred to mere mortals, but, in time, the barriers will break down so exploration can begin.

First Day of School!
My favorite third son started school today (the high school started last week). Now that I have the house relatively to my self during the weeks, I’m hoping to get just a little more writing time than I have had most of the summer. Yeah, that’s how it works. Oh, and we got to the […]
The Way is Moving Along
I’m working through a revision pass on The Way (book 1). Just finished chapter 6, but have feedback from my writing group on the revised prologue and chapter one, so I’ll review that next before pressing forward. Things are looking up, just as we head into the busiest time of the year: Fall!
Rained Out
Well, we made it to the Fair yesterday. The weather was beautiful most of the day. Unfortunately, the exception to that was the rain storm that rolled through just for parade time. We were all disappointed the band didn’t get to perform, but everyone had a great time just enjoying the Fair.
The Great Minnesota Get-Together
It’s that time of year, again. The Minnesota State Fair is the greatest gathering of people anywhere on the planet (in my opinion). Twelve days of greasy food on a stick, animals, rides, crafts, and lot and lots of walking. Our usual M.O. is to stay a couple of nights in the RV campground, but […]
The End of Summer
As we wrap up summer vacation, and look forward to the kids returning to school (read: fewer distractions at home), I can’t help but marvel at the summer we had and some hopes it doesn’t end. Even though I expect plenty of travel in the future, I doubt we’ll ever take the 5 of us […]
Diving Back In
Now, where was I again? Oh yeah. Completely re-tooling The Way. I’m not sure if this is going to work, but I think I have a novel idea for how to tell both parts of the story without spoiling the fun of experiencing what the characters do. Here goes nothing!
Vacation Over
It’s been a little while because the family and I went on a little vacation to Australia and New Zealand. Three weeks of family fun for 5 of us. It was the trip of a lifetime, even if you take some “issues” into account. Now, to get back into the writing….
4th Street Fantasy
The 4th Street Fantasy writers convention is this weekend. Not sure if I’m going to make it as an attendee this year. But since I’m local, I’ll probably connect with a few of the attendees from out of town. Will be good to catch up with them!
Papa Turns 90!
Today, my dad turns the ripe old age of 90. He’s still got his health and his independence, and a family that loves him. Thanks for being you, dad. Let’s look forward to at least a few more rides around the sun.
The Path for the Way is Laid
All of the feedback has been considered. Chapters have been cut and rearranged, and passages have been identified both as keepers and save-for-laters. Now, the work begins on revising The Way.
