Noel David Always an observer and a story teller, the deep desire to share personally created stories required exploring. Born in Adelaide, South Australia in 1964, Noel David pursued various creative endeavours laced with formal education and training. Ambitious and driven yet always a Creative, Noel has been involved numerous businesses, where at one stage, his talents were utilised enabling overseas travel to source and import tribal handicrafts which were exhibited for purchase from galleries. Living for many years on a small cottage farm in the Adelaide Hills Noel David built a barn that doubled as his study and workshop. Snake attacks and a flood did little to dent his fortitude until one fateful day when the cottage was broken into, thieves making off with many collectables. The uninvited visitors purposely stuck a long knife into the ground next to their exit point, the impression of the action combined by the brazen break-in unsettling Noel's wife Bo, who decided it was time to move on. Numerous houses and projects later Noel and Bo departed Adelaide in 2014 searching for a new home, lifestyle and destination. Noel David's first novel 'The Clapping Man' was commenced at the beginning of the journey and after travelling the east coast of Australia for 2 years the book was finished in the beautiful biosphere region of Noosa, Queensland. The sequel to the first book is well under way, with a number of other projects in the wings.
