Autorenporträt
David J. Forsyth is a Canadian author whose ancestors emigrated from the British Isles in the early 20th century. His values and perspectives were shaped by the descendants of Irish weavers, Scottish crofters and English labourers. He began his career as a commercial artist and copy writer, and didn't complete his first manuscript until after he retired.His book Too Cold for Mermaids recounts his sailing adventures while cruising the North Atlantic coasts and inland waterways of Canada and the United States. He has also published a collection of poetry, Footnotes, a short story collection, and a memoir.A life-long passion for genealogical research, and a desire to preserve the fragile histories of ordinary people, inspired him to devote four years to researching and writing Alice and the Machine Gunner, the story of a London war-bride and the soldier with whom she fell in love.
