Autorenporträt
Author David Fowler is a Scarborian, who spent his career in banking. In 1994 he retired to his home town with his wife Eileen. His interests are many, but on a sunny day he likes nothing better than to wander down to the Clock Café on the cliffs beyond Scarborough's Spa. The cafe has panoramic views of the old town, the sea and the harbour - and lemon meringue pie to die for!
