David Kelly

David Kelly was born and spent much of his childhood in the picturesque south of Ireland, where it is said, the tradition of storytelling is almost as ancient as the Island itself.

David remembers to this day the magical warmth of sitting around a big open crackling fire on a winter's evening, the wind howling down the chimney, sparks flying, listening to storytellers spinning captivating yarns.

After a lifetime spent working in the commercial and charity sectors, when Covid brought the world to its knees, with new found time on his hands, he decided with a little prompting, to have a shot at putting down on paper 'that book' they say, hides within each of us.

Apart from writing a bit of poetry, 'The Road to Lagos' the first book, published in December 2024, is the fictional outcome- turning the pages, you will be whisked away into a world of deceit, romance and action, not to mention the 'hand of fete.'

David hopes that it gives each of you as much pleasure and enjoyment in the reading as it did him in the writing. However, he didn't stop there ! 'Three for Paris' came next with more 'twists and turns' than a country lane. Then there is kidnapping, calculated revenge and hidden trauma. To say nothing of a little sprinkling of romance- nothing is as it seems.

David loves trying his hand with yarns that take you away from the 'ups and downs' of everyday life, portraying characters particularly through dual and alternative time lines.

David enjoys the beautiful country side of Northamptonshire, a game of golf, the odd pint of beer and an Indian curry
