David Haldane's writing career has spanned five decades. After cutting his journalistic teeth as an “underground” reporter for the countercultural Berkeley BARB in the 1970s, Haldane graduated to spending 23 years as a staff writer for the Los Angeles Times where he contributed to two Pulitzer Prize-winning stories: coverage of the LA riots in 1993 and the California wildfires in 2004. He is the author of four books: a 2004 remembrance called "Berkeley Days," the award-winning 2015 memoir "Nazis & Nudists," a 2021 short-story collection called "Jenny on the Street," and an upcoming collection of essays on expat life in the Philippines entitled "A Tooth in My Popsicle." Over the years, Haldane’s work has appeared in numerous regional, national, and international publications including Los Angeles Times Magazine, Manila Times, Orange Coast magazine, Penthouse, Boston Globe, Islands, and Salon. He has also written and produced radio features, for which he was awarded a 2018 Golden Mike for excellence by the Radio & Television News Association of Southern California. Currently, David divides his time between homes in Joshua Tree, California, and Northern Mindanao, Philippines, where he writes a weekly column for that region's leading newspaper, the Mindanao Gold Star Daily. When he's not writing stories, Haldane can often be found helping his Filipino wife on what he considers his most important, and by far most demanding, job: caring for their two school-age children.
