Author DG Lamb, a clinical neuropsychologist, created the world of the Driven to the Hilt series while recovering from cancer surgery. He uses his understanding of PTSD (posttraumatic stress disorder) to inject psychological authenticity and complexity into Joshua, creating a wounded but endearing central character.

“There’s nothing more satisfying than a fully-realized hero with heart and depth. For me, Joshua Vernon is that character...and you better believe I’ll be following this series to the end!” Lara Storm Hitchcock, Book Reviewer – Story Storming on WordPress

David Lamb is a board certified clinical neuropsychologist. His day job involves helping people to become more independent after some type of neurological injury. In addition to a doctorate in Clinical Psychology, he has a Master’s in Art Therapy. David has also worked with law enforcement officers to deal with PTSD after critical incidents.
