Author Information

David Cox is a father, lifelong firearm enthusiast, and passionate advocate for children's safety. Having trained with firearms for well over 20 years, he is well-versed in their proper handling and brings a personal sense of responsibility to his writing. David is also a certified firearms safety instructor and range safety officer. As a parent, he understands the deep need to protect and educate, and his work reflects a commitment to bridging those worlds. His children's book, This Is a Gun, was born from conversations with his own kids: honest, direct, and grounded in love. Off the page, he spends his time outdoors, teaching his children respect for tools and for life, and working to ensure that safety doesn't come at the cost of curiosity. His mission is simple: to help families talk about hard things with clarity, care, and courage. Born with a pencil in hand and an urge for artistic pursuits, he continues much the same to this day. His wife tries to keep his feet on the ground as best she can, but his imagination keeps his head firmly immersed in the clouds. Joe lives in Atlanta, GA, with his family.
