Away from writing, he loves football (“proper round-ball 11-a-side footy”) especially “my poor beleaguered” Leeds United, plus movies, wine, travel, obscure music, and hanging out with Kerry and the kids. Travel is an important part of writing for him, and he has lived in India and the UK, as well as travelling in South East Asia, Europe and America. He moved to adult fiction with the Moontide series, and a four book sequel, The Sunsurge Quartet is in the works.ĭavid likes to ground his work in mythology and history, both of which he studied at university. A subsequent YA series, The Return of Ravana, consisting of four volumes, is set in India. His first published novel, The Bone Tiki, was a young adult fantasy that won Best First Book at the 2010 NZ Post Children’s Book Awards and generated four sequels known overall as the Aotearoa series. Most of his working life has been spent in financial services, but he always had an ambition to write.
