About Me

Sharing my writing journey

Welcome—I’m David, an Australian historical fiction writer sharing the journey of taking my first draft manuscript toward (hopefully) publication.

​

I post regularly in My Journal, where I’m documenting the process of shaping The Catalina into a finished novel—the wins, the challenges, and the warts‑and‑all moments along the way.

​

You’ll also find the origins of the story, the real people and events that inspired it, and what I’m learning about writing—and life—as I pursue this new passion.
