Dave has been motivated for years to write a novel, and 'For Nil Consideration' is his "enthralling and profound" debut. An avid reader of many genres, Dave's influences are wide-ranging; from Bill Bryson to Robert Rankin. Dave has had great success as a railway engineer, with several award winning papers to his name - it is this talent for writing that Dave has now turned to the world of fiction. Dave prodominately uses his childhood as a background to his work; the Sheraton Moss series of books are based around his real childhood upbringing in Stockton-on-Tees. His next book (due out in June 2008) is a collection of short supernatural stories, one of which is based in the Sheraton Moss estate.



Accomplishments: 2004 Presidents First Award (PWI) for the advancement in knowledge and professionalism in the rail industry;

2005 Mott MacDonald Ltd Group Best Paper;

2006 PWI Silver Award
