About The Author
Dave Gamboa currently resides in the City of Colton, Ca. where he writes science fiction, horror, and short stories of the unexplained. He grew up in Los Angeles where he previously worked in the film and entertainment industry for twelve years, and reading scripts was part of what he did, which is what eventually led to his writings.
While working in the entertainment business he had the privilege of working with various actors, artists, and entertainers such as Earth, Wind, and Fire, Patrice Rushen, Brenda Russell, Debbie Allen, Keenan Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans, martial arts superstar Jet Li, Robert Townsen and Richard Dean Anderson,
to name a few.
Fascinated by the movie industry and a big fan of sci-fi, horror and UFOs, he decided to put together a compilation of stories that would not only entertain, but keep you wondering and asking, "what if?" He is also a big fan of Stephen King and enjoys the short stories of Mr. Ray Bradbury, whom he had the honor of meeting at one of his appearances.
Realizing that most people nowadays have busy lifestyles and are too busy to read, he took the short-stories approach in writing, “Tales of a Lucid Dreamer.” And like the Twilight Zone and The Outer Limits, he remembered how they intrigued him if only for just thirty to sixty minutes at a time; you couldn't help but to want to see the next one.
“The Night They Came” is a full-length story which was the result of over fifteen years of reading and meeting various individuals who had either researched the topic of UFOs and strange sightings, or claimed to have witnessed or experienced something not of this world. The storyline itself was the product of some very strange recurring alien and UFO nightmares, that Dave himself experienced and blended into this
fictional story.
The book has been featured in Sci-Fi Magazine and has received many positive comments including, "When’s the movie coming out?" His ultimate goal is to see this story on the big screen with Keanu Reeves as Steven. Enjoy the book and thank you for your patronage.

Author's note: In the Fall of 1978, around 9:45 p.m. while still living with my parents in Los Angeles, I was out back doing a little star-gazing when I spotted a bright star-like object moving eastward across the sky.
At first I thought it was just a slow moving plane, then a helicopter, and then maybe a blimp. But none of them seemed to fit the description, since this particular object made no sound.
After about a minute or so, the bright object just stopped in the sky above me, as now I dared not take my eyes off it. The object remained at a standstill for about 20 seconds. Then all at once, it just shot up into deep space and disappeared before my eyes within two seconds.
I was in awe and could not believe what I had seen. Ever since then, I've been a big star-gazer. And yes, I have seen other strange sightings out there.
On July 4, 2003 at about 8:40 P.M., I was out in front of my home when I witnessed an orange ball of light crossing eastward in the sky. I ran indoors, grabbed my binoculars and continued to watch. As it slowly moved across the sky, it crossed my path and continued northbound.
The orange object then picked up speed and quickly moved forward as it disappeared. The incident lasted about two minutes and believe me, it was not fireworks. I would see this again about twenty minutes later doing exactly the same. Both my wife and I observed this. The Universe is Unlimited. |
