About the Author

David was born twelve miles north of Newcastle-upon-Tyne in a small Northumberland town in the UK, and although he enjoys regular forays to the real world, he has lived in the general area ever since. He studied IT and creative writing at university (Not at the same time!) and he says there's no competition to which one he enjoys the most. He can be found with his nose in any books he can get his hands on, but of course has a particular affinity with horror novels. Strange fact - whilst he enjoys horror movies, he will freely admit that he can't stand slasher/torture films (with one or two exceptions). Writing for both the adult and young adult audience, David is quickly establishing himself as a writer to keep tabs on.
