David A. Neuman

Born in Adelaide, South Australia, David A Neuman was gifted a vivid imagination. In the late seventies, he walked out of Norwood High School an underachiever to embark on a scholastic journey before graduating from Flinders University in Behavioral Science.

Some thirty years ago, disenchanted with life's endless stop signs, he penned Kaleidoscopic Shades: Within Black Eternity and, if not for a chance meeting with a man of poetry, this multi-award winning book would have remained a secreted passion. After a two-year trek beyond the thin patina of reality, Neuman has finally released the sequel, The Penny Arcade: Mother's Care Orphanage, with the help of a small and highly dedicated team, admitting: Writing is like stumbling about the wilderness before tripping over a rough diamond... it needs to be shaped, polished, and nurtured to bring out its true qualities and the best in entertainment.

Neuman continues to live in Adelaide with his beloved four-legged family: Marigold, Saffron, Cinnamon and Ginger - his very own Spice Girls. It is here he feels at home, especially when exploring its ghostly past, understanding that, regardless of one's background, we are all in this together. And always will be.
