David Byerlee

David was born in Townsville, Queensland Australia. At an early age he travelled with his family to the USA where his father trained and worked as a scientist.

 In his teens he returned to Australia where he completed his secondaryDavid Byerlee school and followed qualifications in Art, English and teaching. David has long had an interest in the creative arts, and began fiction writing during his twenties. Following years of teaching in Australia he worked overseas in Japan and the UK.

 
David had some fiction published in Japan, and while in the UK in London started writing his novel ‘London’s Falling’, which is now published by Caffeine Nights.
 
His time working as a teacher and in other jobs such as a security guard has put him into contact with many people in various walks of life, including those outside the law. These exciting, diverse, and sometimes uncomfortable experiences inspired him to write about his take on the human condition, much of which forms the backdrop to London’s Falling.
 
David is currently working on a novel concerning a catastrophic bush fire near a large metropolitan city.
