Welcome

What if one turn of the page could sweep you into danger, surprise, and characters you will not forget?

Welcome to the world of Dave Bunnell. The Winds pulls ordinary lives toward an extraordinary mystery. Body Run drags you into the shadows of a working mortuary, where a killer leaves his own signature behind. Touchdown Jesus looks like a football story, but underneath it is about standing up to a bully and refusing to become who everyone else expects.

Three books, three very different rides. Pick the one calling to you and see where the next page leads.

Reviews From the Field

I could feel the Wyoming wind. The descriptions of "the Winds" are breathtaking. It is not just a setting, it is a character that demands a reckoning.

The Winds

That first chapter had me hooked. I could not put the book down. I loved the twists and turns. Thought I had it figured out, but no.

Body Run

The emotional core of this book is incredibly grounded. When Crem drops the line, "guess that doesn't apply to dads," you can feel the immediate shift in the room's gravity.

Touchdown Jesus
