David Grant Urban writes literary noir and road novels.
Stories shaped by place.
David Grant Urban is rooted in the San Diego Gaslamp and living now in East Tennessee. He writes about the pressure of the past, the mystery of ordinary lives, and roads that change us. His work is not trend-chasing; it is interested in atmosphere, character, and the moral weather of a place.
