Eavesdrop On My Conversations With People In Publishing

I hope you will follow my guests and buy their books.


Travis Davis - Ep. 1

Travis Davis is an Air Force brat who grew up in Arkansas, Spain, New York, and California. He joined the US Army at 17 years old as an Armored Reconnaissance Specialist and was stationed in the various forts in the United States and Germany, where he met his beautiful wife. During his three tours in Germany, he conducted hundreds of border patrols along the East-West German border and the Czechoslovakia-West German border. Where he saw first-hand communism and its oppression of its citizens, he retired from the US Army, where his last duty assignment was as Assistant Operations Sergeant of the 2nd Armored Cavalry Regiment at Fort Polk, Louisiana; he is a lifetime member of the Sergeant Morales Club. Travis has received multiple awards, including the Meritorious Service Medal and five Army Commendation Medals.

When he is not writing or working, Travis enjoys exercising, traveling (he loves a good road trip), baking different loaves of bread, and relaxing in his backyard with friends and family while having a cold beer. He has lived in Allen, Texas, with his wife for over 35 years. He has three adult children: two daughters living in Arkansas, one son living in Northern Virginia, and five wonderful grandchildren.

“Travis never met a stranger,” his wife always says.
