The Author - Brad Watson
Hi! Thanks for checking out David's Revenge and Finding David. You probably don't want to know all the boring stuff about me so I'll just give you some of the juicy bits.
Would you believe that I failed grade one and had to repeat? Even that didn't help much and I'm stil realy bad at spellin!
My maths teacher told me in year 12 that I wouldn't ever amount to anything. In fairness to him, I was lying on the floor at the time, with the whole class laughing at me because I fell over a desk and made a fool of myself.
At college, I probably should have been awarded a degree in surfing, fishing and making friends—wow, that was so much fun!
Now I have a fantastic wife who keeps me humble, three kids who love to play jokes on me and a dog that eats everything from garden hoses, to phone lines and Nike shoes.
I lecture in International Development Studies for students who want to help refugees and people living in poverty. So many people don't like their work but mine would have to be one of the best jobs around.
I still really like surfing but the biggest blast of all is writing books like Finding David and David's Revenge.
This might sound strange but when I write I feel like I'm somewhere I belong! David is like all of us. We all have struggles. We can all have courage, too.
