The phrase ‘There’s a story in everyone’  I think, is absolutely true.

I live in Surrey, England, and have two daughters, Nicole and Lindsay, to whom my first two books are dedicated. My debut novel, Columbus Day, took over five years to complete while I was working full time.   It was published on Amazon in early 2012 after extensive research and a steep learning curve.     

I began writing my second romantic mystery, The Letter, in 2011.

Writing came naturally later in life.   With experience, travel, and time, I found storylines emerging from real moments, places, and people I’ve encountered. While my novels are fictional, they are grounded in a lifetime of observation and imagination.

I also enjoy discovering new music, particularly World Music, which inspired elements of Columbus Day and reflects my curiosity about cultures and stories beyond my own.

My only Non-Fiction publication is  'A Guide to Church Photography for the Enthusiastic Amateur'.

I also have published under the name David Morton, a children's novel for 6-10 year olds, called 'The Wrong Cheese'.

(2026) I am currently writing a modern tale of human survival which reflects what is happening in the world right now, and will test everyone's beliefs.
