Autorenporträt

DAVID G BAILEY's debut publication in 2021 was 'Seventeen', a football fantasy adventure novel aimed at and beyond young adults. 'Them Roper Girls' (2022) returned to a world more recognisably our own, tracing in their own voices the lives of four sisters over more than sixty years from their 1950s childhood. A husband of a Roper sister takes centre stage in 'Them Feltwell Boys' (2023). With the same gritty realism and sometimes dark humour found in its predecessor, this follows Ray Roden's crude attempts at teenage love in counterpoint to his cynical womanising as an adult. 'The Sunny Side of the House' (2024) is a first venture into non-fiction in another projected series, 'When Life Gives You Strawberries - Memories of a Fenland Boy'. The origin story of 'Seventeen' appears within the clear-eyed narrative of a 1960s boyhood in East Anglia, where both David's contemporary novels are partly set. He currently lives in the Midlands.To read more of and about David's work, including a quarterly newsletter and new content daily comprising extracts from diaries and other writing over more than fifty years, visit his website www.davidgbailey.com.
