Any resemblance to any living person is purely coincidental. David was born in Derby, England in 1961. He’s lived all over the UK but now divides his time between Paris and the northwest of England. In 2009 he left a long career in the airline industry to concentrate on his writing. He also teaches English to foreign students, mainly Russians, and is an activist for the Labour party. He’s an avid fan of the American poet and singer Stevie Nicks who he calls the ‘voice of my inner being’, he loves red wine, gin and tonic, travelling and Indian food. ‘Fireflies’ is the second of his Detective Jeff Barton series of books. ‘Sorcerer’ was the first and he’s now working on the third which will be called ‘Storms’. This is also the second edition of ‘Fireflies’ and included right at the very end is a 38-page short story called ‘All about Simon’. He’s a man who’s going through troubled times but when he finds out that a former friend told lies about him that kept him apart from the one he loves for many years, he really does see red.
