David J. Forsyth
My first book, "Dafydd" was inspired by my genealogical research. One day, while searching through old parish records, I thought, "Wouldn't it be fantastic if great-grandfather Geraghty had left a diary or a journal behind?" Suddenly, I became aware of the importance of recording one's life experience for subsequent generations.
My second work, "Too Cold for Mermaids," was inspired by a fifteen-year love affair with cruising on sailboats. I thought others might enjoy reading about my adventures, and perhaps find the inspiration to actively pursue their own dreams.
My work-in-progress is the story of a very special person, to whom I owe my success in life. She is my maternal grandmother and helped to shape me; she is my inspiration, and her story must be told.
