I was born and raised in South London where my parents, both avid readers, made a habit of ringing home crime, thriller, and suspense novels, instilling in me a love of reading from a very early age. My father used to pass any book he read to me and vice versa.
I spent many years as an Engineering designer particularly in the oil and gas industry, hence the few years in the oil-rich Arabian Gulf where my first story is set, before deciding what I really wanted to do was write.
I realised the most satisfying way to achieve this would be by starting with my own story.
So, for the next eighteen months, I spent my days working at my regular job and my lunchtimes, evenings, and weekends writing my first book.
Writing as D. A. Norman, Prisoner in Al-Khobar was the result.
