Brief Bio:
Dave turned to writing fiction after a long career in IT journalism. Over the years he has written user guides, features, and reviews for some of the UK's leading computer magazines including Personal Computer World, Practical PC, PC Advisor, PC Network Advisor and others. Most of his articles have appeared in the printed press, though lots of his work can be found online.

PLENTY LONG ENOUGH was his first successful short story, winning the 2003 Darklines award in the USA around the same time that his first novel, A GIFT TO DIE FOR, was published. Nowadays, Dave writes only fiction. Have you read his work? If so, he would love to hear from you. But please do not write to Dave with any IT related queries as he no longer works in that environment.

Dave has been married to Denise, a district nurse, for thirty-five years. They have three daughters, one son-in-law (Stephen), a future son-in-law(?), Matt, and three grandchildren. Their youngest daughter, Victoria "Jordy" Cook, works the comedy circuit, cropping up occasionally on TV and BBC Radio Manchester. Her partner, Matt, is a photographer extraordinaire.

Further information and a synopsis of PAST SINS (ISBN: 978-0-9555185-7-7) can be found on the Screaming Dreams website.
