Whilst working as a college lecturer, I wrote extensively for national children's/YA magazines such as 'Shout', 'Animals and You', 'The Mandy' and 'The Bunty'. In 2011, I published my first two books: the highly successful 'Children's History of Manchester' and 'Children's History of Lancashire'. I then began work with my brother, David, on 'The Perfect Pair Dolphin Trilogy'.

'The Perfect Pair: The Enchanted Mirror' (2012) was made a core text for the University of Salford's BA(Hons) degree in English and Creative Writing. It also won Bronze for non-fiction in The Wishing Shelf Book Awards 2013. An extract from the book won first prize in a prestigious 'Manchester Evening News' literary competition.

This isn't just a story, it's also a campaign that has been fraught with difficulties. We were warned that we'd have problems when we embarked on this project, but we never dreamed how bad it would be. So, at the moment, there's a big question mark over the future.(less)

THE PERFECT PAIR DOLPHIN TRILOGY PRESENTS: AN ANONYMOUS 70TH BIRTHDAY GIFT TO DAVID CAPELLO - DUCHESS, THE DOLPHIN WHO STOLE HIS HEART.

Picture My name is David Holroyd, aka David Capello featured in The Perfect Pair Dolphin Trilogy. On the 19th March 2023, I celebrated my 70th birthday, and on the 20th March 2023, I received a most beautiful poem through the post.
