DAVID
PENGLASE
Writing an historical fiction novel and sharing my journey toward publication

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.
