ⓘ About David Gilman
As a writer, David wrote his first story when he was only six years old. The story was told in the first person and followed the adventures of a sixpence as it rolled all over the area, from the town to the country, until it it was eventually swallowed by a cow and died. Despite the imagination on display, his teacher was adamant that the protagonist of the story couldn’t be telling the story in the first person if it was dead and David was discouraged from writing another story for 25 years. Gilman grew up in England and Wales, with his family moving around quite a bit in his youth. He lived in many different homes including a flat about the local fish and chip shop and a country house with horses on the property.
