About the author
N.E. David
6 books67 followersN.E.David is my pen name but most people know me as Nick. I tried writing earlier in life but it didn't work out first time round. Older (and presumably wiser) I've taken it up again and had initial success with a series of short novellas. My debut novel, Birds of the Nile, was published by Roundfire in 2013 and quickly became their top-selling title in adult fiction. My second novel, The Burden, came out in April.
I write contemporary fiction and focus on stories of human interest and drama. I'm fascinated by human behaviour and my work attempts to answer the question Why do we act as we do? I have no overt personal or political message to convey but my initial objective is to entertain the reader and I hope this is reflected in my writing.
Besides being a regular contributor to literary events in the North East Region, I'm a founder member of York Authors and formerly co-presented Book Talk on BBC Radio York. I've recently been appointed to the committee of York Literature Festival where I'm enjoying contributing to the literary life of the city.

A Message From The Author
Feria is the first in my series of `entertainments'. It's an uproarious comedy set in the heart of Spain involving three vats of paella, a marching band and a herd of mountain goats. If you're looking for something to take away on holiday with you, then this is the book for you. Stretch out next to the pool, pour yourself a nice glass of Rioja and just sit back and enjoy it. It won't take you long to read - a couple of hours at most - so this is the ideal book to fill in those odd moments.

I loved this book. Not often that I laugh aloud while reading but I did with this.
I lived in Southern Spain for 6 years and this bought it all back to me.
It really was a comedy and would make a lovely TV show.
Please give us more.
