Born David A. Butler in Melbourne, Vic. Australia.
Arthur lives with his wife and cat in the Dandenong Ranges. His interest in writing began in his early childhood, influenced by his mother. She was also a writier, providing scripts for ABC Radio in the 1950s and 60s under the pen-name Russel Bavinton.
Arthur has been writing poetry, short stories, skits and articles for pleasure since his early days. According to his friends, some of his comedy skits and parodies have become "notorious."
He took to serious writing when he joined FaithWriters.com, an international online writing community. There he won a number of awards, and had a few of his short stories included in an anthology compiled by BreathFreshAir Publishing. He has risen to the level of Master Writer in that community.
