David was born of an English mother and an Indian father, neither of whom brought him up. He spent his childhood in Derby but has since lived all over the UK, and also for several very happy years he lived in Paris. He’s currently based in St Annes, Lancashire and writes full-time. He loves to travel, he loves Indian food closely followed by French, he follows politics and current affairs worldwide and is into all the arts – books, films, TV, theatre, and music. He’s a seriously devoted fan of Stevie Nicks who he calls ‘the voice of my interior world’. He considers himself an internationalist and a social democrat. He supports the campaigns for equality for LGBTQ+ people all over the world.

And he once made a cheese sandwich for the actress Julia Roberts.
