I was born in 1959. I’m married with three children. I live in Cradley Heath, West Midlands.
I have had several short stories and poems Cherry-picked by the editors at ABCTales,and one Barn selected as ABCTales Story of the Week in early July 2003.
I have recently completed a novel – entitled Dance On Fire – about a rock band approaching their twenty-fifth anniversary and all wondering what happened to them when youthful rebellion turned into a full-time career.
Dance On Fire, a novel By David Hadley is published at lulu.com for £12.49 (+p&p) from:
