David Field is an English-Australian author who was born in Nottingham, England. He was educated at Nottingham High School and later obtained a Law degree, becoming a career-long criminal law practitioner and academic. In 1989, he emigrated to Australia, where he currently resides.
Field's two great passions are History and the English language, which led him to begin writing historical fiction as an escape from his career in law. He wrote these novels as a hobby, but did not begin to publish them until close to fulltime retirement. Digital publishing offered a viable alternative to literary agencies, print publishers, and rejection slips, allowing Field to publish his work and share his stories with a wider audience.
Now retired, Field's former hobby has become a full-time occupation. He enjoys life in rural New South Wales with his wife, sons, and grandchildren, who keep him grounded in the reality of the contemporary world. Field is currently published by Sapere Books.
In summary, David Field is a published author of historical fiction who was born in Nottingham, England and educated at Nottingham High School. He practiced criminal law before emigrating to Australia, where he began writing as a hobby and later published his work digitally. Now retired, Field enjoys life in rural New South Wales with his family and continues to write as a full-time occupation.
