David Scott is a playwright, director and novelist – among other things. His career included forty years as a film exhibitor; establishing a horse stud; managing a motel; working in the hospitality industry, and a few other experiences along the way. David’s latest book, Stargazer, is an autobiography highlighting the value of family, ingenuity, bravado, old-fashioned common sense, colourful characters and unfailing good humour. From rural towns in Victoria and New South Wales, to the mountain life in Queensland, the constant has been faithful canine companions, perseverance and a joy for living.

Quotes by David Scott  (?)

“Deprivations were never an issue for me; the security of being with my parents fulfilled my every need and I nestled into the cocoon of my existence without taking much notice of the outside world. I believed everyone’s reactions and experiences were the same as mine, so not understanding different character traits came to bite me on the bum during adolescence.”
David Scott, Stargazer

“Mum had often said she was closest to God when in her garden, and as the years rolled by I understood what she meant: crafting beauty generates tender thoughts. And isn’t that what creation is all about?”
David Scott, Stargazer

“Sweaty, bruised and grazed, we stood by the open gateway of a half-acre paddock and watched the truck taking the colt to his destiny. I don’t recall what kind of day it was, only the miserable feeling of having failed after trying our best. We didn’t know it then, but it was to be a recurring theme in the not-too-distant future.”
