David Ford was born in Devon and lives in East London. For thirty-five years he worked in central government, mainly as a senior policy advisor on crime issues in the Home Office. A collection of his poetry has been published by the Happenstance Press and his first novel, Come Sunday, was published in 2023. David is married with two daughters.
David explains: “The book was inspired by some torn up and discarded snapshots of teenagers drinking that I found in a burnt-out building on the coast of Norfolk. I wanted to explore how tragic mistakes made when we are young can haunt our adult lives.”
