Welcome to my author website, on which you can find new content every day.
Apart from showcasing and offering the opportunity to purchase my work, the Dave Daze feature offers glimpses of my life as it was lived, with easily digestible extracts from diaries and other writings corresponding to the current date in past years.
I hope you will participate, not just by subscribing to my quarterly newsletter in which readers’ contributions may feature, but by letting me have your general views and feedback.
Finally, do have a look at my son Joseph’s artwork which I am proud to feature on its own page as well as in the cover design of my book Seventeen.
Stay in touch, all the best
