David A. Poulsen has been a broadcaster, teacher, football coach, rodeo cowboy, stage and film actor and--most of all--writer. His writing career began in earnest when his story The Welcomin' won the 1984 Alberta Culture Short Story Competition. Now the author of 27 books, many for middle readers and young adults, David has completed his Masters degree in Creative Writing at UBC and served as the Writer in Residence at the Saskatoon Public Library in 2012/13. In 2011, David's young adult novel Numbers was selected for the Sakura Medal (awarded by English speaking high school students in Japan for their favourite novel of the year). As a result, David toured International Schools in Japan and South Korea in the fall of 2011. Numbers has since been added to the English curriculum for Grade 10 in Saskatchewan. His newest novel for young adults, And Then the Sky Exploded was released in late 2016.
