David Watkins lives in Devon in the UK with his wife, two sons, dog, cat and two turtles. He is unsure of his place in the pecking order: probably somewhere between the cat and the turtles. He has currently released four novels and a short story. Each book is well rated and reviewed on Amazon and beyond. His most recent release is The Exeter Incident, from D&T Publishing. "Great monsters and dynamic characters make this brutal, bloody, brilliant novel an essential read. I'll never see Exeter in the same light again!" - Tim Lebbon, The Last Storm (praise for The Exeter Incident) "...gut twisting scenes...” 4* Joe X Young, Gingernuts of Horror (The Devil's Inn) "..a damn entertaining read.." - DLS Reviews (The Devil's Inn) "Watkins writes with a real flow for tension." - Steve Stred, Kendall Reviews "Great horror! I couldn't put the book down" 4.5*, Pamela Kinney, Ismellsheep.com (The Original's Return) He hates referring to himself in the third person, but no-one else is going to write this for him. Dave can be found on Twitter so drop by and say hello @joshfishkins, where you'll find him ranting about horror, the British education system and Welsh rugby, but not usually at the same time.
