David Swatling

David Swatling grew up in rural New York, studied theater at Syracuse University, and pursued an acting career on both coasts - before moving to Amsterdam in 1985. He produced arts and culture programs for Radio Netherlands Worldwide and is three-time winner of the NLGJA Excellence in Journalism Award, among other international honors. He wrote for Amsterdam's first gay weekly Trash in the Streets and hosted Alien, a local gay radio show. He continues to blog about the arts and LGBTQ issues - from Amsterdam and elsewhere. Calvin's Head is his first novel.
