David H. Falloure is a Texas author whose work explores history, the people who shape it, and the ways the past continues to reach into the present.
His latest novel, Vindictus, asks a provocative question: What if Hannibal Barca—the Carthaginian general who nearly destroyed Rome—never died?
Set against a modern world of ancient families, inherited vendettas, and unfinished history, Vindictus blends historical fiction, suspense, and contemporary thriller. It is Falloure’s second novel and eighth book.
His first novel, Counterclockwise, is a suspense thriller set primarily in 1942 Houston. His nonfiction includes works on Texas and maritime history as well as Brands in History, based on his long-running blog exploring the histories behind familiar companies and brands.
Falloure’s interest in history extends well beyond his books. He has written for the Houston Chronicle, the Houston/Heights Tribune, the Buzz Magazines, and the Examiner News Group, and contributed to the Texas State Historical Association’s Handbook of Houston. He also appears in the award-winning documentary Houston Ship Channel: Deep Water Centennial.
Away from writing, Falloure is a marketing communications professional whose work has been recognized by the ANA Business Marketing organization, American Marketing Association, AVA Digital Awards, and Telly Awards, with additional recognition in Adweek and the Houston Business Journal.
A husband and father of three sons, Falloure makes his home in Texas. He is also an admiral in the Texas Navy Association, an organization dedicated to preserving the history and heritage of the Republic and State of Texas.
His newest novel, Vindictus, arrives October 13, 2026.
