He will take seventeen to the match - how many will he bring back?
In Cibola football is a matter of life and death. Sir Tristram must reunite his Blood City teammates - Knights, Pirates and Westerners - to win the prestigious Seskie tournament against their oldest rivals.
Behind the match is a bigger power play, a king's mission to bring down his greatest rival by persuasion, trickery or force. Needing a squad of soldiers as well as footballers, Sir Tristram must also find a place on tour and in his heart for the teenage child he has not addressed by name since infancy...
David was born in Lincolnshire and mainly schooled in the Isle of Ely, also studying in the Fens and the Black Forest.
He began an insurance career, learning there was no policy to cover a change within a year from a single man living in London to a married one with two kids living in Quito.
Currently working as a freelance technical writer, David has written creatively since his schooldays. While waiting for a market to develop for a two-million-word diary, he has produced romances, memoirs, young adult and literary fictions, without until recently understanding the discipline and extra hours needed to bring a work to market.
Seventeen is David's first step from being a writer to becoming an author, an adventure fantasy story aimed not only at adolescents but anyone who has ever played with soldiers or dolls. Its only autobiographical element is the importance of football, the beautiful game.
