A. D. Davies

A. D. Davies grew up in Leeds, West Yorkshire. In high school his ambition was to be a writer of horror novels, although in adult life he became an avid fan of crime fiction. After a long stint in an unsatisfying job, he attended the University of Leeds where he attained a degree in creative writing.

Having travelled throughout his life, his favourite destinations are New Zealand and Vietnam, which have influenced his writing immensely, especially obvious in his novel The Dead and the Missing.

For now, however, globe-trotting is taking a back-seat to cementing his family life and writing, although he hopes to one day combine all three.

He now resides in Staffordshire, UK, with his wife and two children.
