Hi, I’m Dave … I’m a writer, journalist, speaker, husband, dad to three loud boys & somewhere along the line I inadvertently became a YouTuber too.

I was a reporter for 10 years, covering crime, politics and crocodile for major Australian and international newspapers before heading online with my wife Ann Reardon (the genius behind HowToCookThat – one of the world’s favourite cooking shows).

As well as ghostwriting for some great people, I’ve had a couple of non-fiction leadership books published a few years back and have now branched into the world of Young Adult historical fiction with ‘The Deep Enders’ series of novels.

I live in Melbourne, Australia.

I have a tendency to leap first into the writing and then, only later on, realise that my 'brilliant' idea needs some work. Even so, I find this can be quite a fun way to write as the author & the reader tend to 'discover' the story as it goes along. In terms of the big picture of the story, I usually find something that fascinates, frustrates or motivates me, then set about researching & talking to people for background. In my first book, The Deep Enders, I was frustrated by a couple of things ... namely that very few people seemed to know or care about Australia's WWII history and also, I was frustrated that so many Indigenous stories were tragic when all of our young Indigenous friends were anything but tragic. I wanted to write a series that entertained (a lot), educated (just enough) & left readers wanting more. Thanks for your question :)(less)

"Another fun adventure with the Deep Enders crew! I didn’t find this book as compelling as the first. This adventure seemed less broad and too quickly paced. However, Reardon’s charming writing is still present throughout. I look forward to if there w" Read more of this review »
