David Alomes was born in a small mining town in regional Australia. His father, a highly decorated police officer, instilled a strong centre of right and wrong in him from an early age. Having found his much-loved wife, he was married with three children before he knew it. Playing to his strengths, he undertook years of study as an accountant, becoming a certified public accountant in 1988, and then followed this up with financial planning qualifications. David practises as a public accountant almost thirty years later with his son in partnership. Discussing the world's ills one day with his daughter, he found a strong voice for changing how things should be and decided to turn his hand to words as well. Using his analytical skills to seek initial support, he undertook writing courses and was personally coached by editors and fellow writers. His first book, Growing Up, received praise from readers and agents alike. David is optimistic about the future in spite of all the world's ills. He believes that, somehow, we will find a way to overcome the obstacles we face as a species and achieve harmony -but everything that is worthwhile is a struggle to achieve.
