About The Author
David A. Streen is a bestselling author, inventor, and literary strategist who believes that the right story, told the right way, can change everything. With a degree in Business Administration and Economics from the University of Kansas, he has launched award-winning companies, developed innovative tools, and published transformative books across multiple industries.
This book marks his fictional debut, though his storytelling journey has been decades in the making. From inventing tools that fix dents in cars to helping authors fix holes in their manuscripts, Dave sees life as a puzzle worth solving and a story worth shaping. He still parachutes into new ideas the way he once did from actual planes, and he’s just as fearless.
Dave met his wife when he was nineteen and told her after their first date that he was going to marry her. She replied, “You wish.” He did and they have been inseparable for over 30 years. Their daughter, now an entrepreneur herself, continues the legacy of building big ideas with heart. His loyal dog Leo was by his side for most of the writing of this book, like a modern-day Watson with fur.
Dave is the founder of We Help Authors, where he empowers storytellers to publish world-class books that leave a lasting impact. Whether you want to write a bestseller, scale your business, or craft a new chapter in your life, Dave helps people uncover the power they already have to shape their own narrative.
He lives by Zig Ziglar’s timeless truth: “You can have everything in life you want, if you will just help enough other people get what they want.”

He didn’t summon Holmes.
He simply left the door open.
