David is the author of The Silent Land, a novel set in England between 1903 and 1919 that explores the complexities of love through the eyes of Rebecca, a young woman from the Fens.
When David is not working on his current novel, The Legend of Caradoc, he can be found daydreaming about the Malvern Hills in Worcestershire and taking his dogs for a stroll. He is fond of fountain pens, strong tea, good chutney and New Zealand, where he lives.

Hi Marilyn,

Wonderful to hear from you - and thank you for the review, you are most kind. I was very touched by it.
I am honoured too to be on your radar now. I am currently writing a fantasy book (I know, it is quite a shift from historical fiction), though there is a sequel to The Silent Land planned in which the story is based upon the sons, James and Sebastian. Should it make it, I shall most certainly let you know of progress.
Best wishes, and happy reading,
David(less)
