David considers himself a latecomer in the literary field, not having started writing seriously until into his fifties. With no formal training and having had no interest in English at school, an institution that saw him leave at the age of sixteen with not one qualification to his name, his first novice attempt was back in the early 90’s when he put to paper his recent solo undertaking of the Pennine.

I must admit, there was a lot of research that went into the book. I had to make sure that all the details were correct, especially dates and places. I made a list of all the Balkan wars to make sure they didn't overlap then researched the countries themselves to make sure I got place names right. I also checked up on Russian, Chechnyan, Kosovan and Albanian names so that I got those correct also. It was a bit daunting at times but worth it in the end. All I can say is, thank God for Google! Hope you're enjoying it so far.

Glad the book turned up on time. I haven't had any reviews as yet but keeping my fingers crossed I get some before Christmas. I realise it's a busy time for everybody so probably won't get any till the new year. Hope you enjoy reading your copy of The Rainbow Dead as much as I did writing it. There was quite a bit of research went into it so it took me a year to complete, but I think it was worth it. Merry Christmas to you and a Happy New Year!(less)
