Welcome visitors...

My name is Barrie David. I love to write and encourage others to write.

Many years ago the actor Kirk Douglas commented in a television interview about the immense personal benefits of writing a book, adding everyone should do it especially if it's about their experiences. Having had an incredibly diverse life in which I progressed from a total absence of self confidence to such hairy pursuits as climbing out onto the wing of a Bi plane at 2,600 feet to parachute off it, I took his advice and gave my book a suitable title - 'Dormant Courage'

(please see -  About the Author)  

Relating my story from my boyhood in Cardiff - South Wales to age thirty one, (1955/76) it is at times very violent, emotionally traumatic and portrays how, in later life, I pulled back from the absolute depths of despair when I was taught virtually ANYTHING is achievable if you hone the determination to make it happen.

'Dormant Courage' is based on many actual events and seeks to inpire those who are abused at the starting gate of life and are consigned to a world of private fear long before they learn to confront it and overcome it...

Hope you enjoy your visit to my site, good luck and very best wishes,

Barrie David.

Everyone has their own unique story!  If you are thinking of writing a book, simply go for it and do it! (I started out sitting in a park with an exercise book and a pencil)
