About the author
David J. Forsyth
5 books9 followersDavid J. Forsyth was born at Hamilton, Canada in 1945 and grew up on a farm immediately north of the city. For much of his life, he harboured a passion for genealogy, researching the histories of hundreds of his ancestors. Forsyth stuffed his findings into file cabinets, compiled biographies and studied individuals and family lines spanning three centuries. Finally, with a little prompting, the author began documenting the period of history that he had personally witnessed.
In January, 2014, he published his debut book Dafydd, a non-fiction narrative memoir. Copies of Dafydd are available at Amazon and http://www.davidjforsyth.com
As a teenager, Forsyth dreamed of cruising the world. Over a period of fifteen years, aboard several vessels including his own Alberg 29 Alice Rose, he sailed thousands of nautical miles, exploring coasts and communities throughout the Great Lakes and along the Atlantic coast of North America from Labrador to Florida.
His second book, Too Cold for Mermaids is based on his memories, journal entries and ship’s logs over more than a decade of cruising. Copies are available at Amazon, http://www.rocksmillspress.com as well as through the author's website and select Canadian book retailers.
Forsyth's third book, Footnotes "poems of loss, the passage of time and mortality," contains 51 of his works, written over a period of six decades. As of October 1, 2020, it is available at Amazon.ca, rocksmillspress.com and through the author's website.
