About the author

David Schutte was born in Crouch End, North London. After several false starts at a writing career, he then became a computer programmer in the late 1960's. He also worked in customer relations, branch management, trouble-shooting, manual-writing and marketing.

A change of career in 1987 gave him time to write his first children’s novel, and success came at last in 1993 with the publication by Macmillan of Mud Pies and Water-Bombs (later re-titled Danger, Keep Out), the first of the "Naitabal" mystery series.
As of 2017, there are seven "Naitabal" titles in print, as well as two non-series novels, Sam and the UFO and Skeletons in the Attic.

In addition to writing and lecturing in schools, David is also a specialist children's bookseller, supplying rare and collectable favourites and first editions to hundreds of customers worldwide.

This book was given and signed to me by the author, via my mum who took care of his wife while she was in hospital in the gynaecology ward. Absolutely sweet that the author did that. :)
