This story is based on true events in 1991 when David, after leaving London, because of an unfortunate police incident, visited Marbella and ended up wrongly arrested for arson and manslaughter.

2022 is set to be an extremely exciting year for David, as WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME is being made in to a movie, backed by a powerful production team in the shape of Golden Mile Productions and No Reservations Entertainment, and including Bafta award-winning executive producer Mark Foligno, from films such as The Kings Speech and Moon. Also with a HOLLYWOOD director attached.

David's other true stories are FIVE WEEKS, a trip he made to Pennsylvania, on a training course for a new job. Having had a gun to his back in London, he leaves the country, only to end up left for dead in a Pennsylvanian wood. The producers of WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME are also very keen to turn this book into a movie.

Another true story follows David’s escapades as a 21-year-old, seeking fame and fortune in America. Entitled 24 HOURS IN NEW YORK, the clue is in the name as to the duration of his stay.

His most recent true story is entitled 13 and outlines four significant events that happened to David at the age of 13, including a near death illness, saving a friend's life, celebrating his bar mitzvah and coming awfully close to becoming the victim of someone he later discovers to be a paedophile.

Also David has written a CRIME FICTION trilogy with many readers and authors around the WORLD wanting a TV series made, which is a goal of David's. The books are titled and should be read on this order, Write To Kill, Write To Survive and Write To Live.
