David Butterworth

David Butterworth was brought up in northeast England where he studied English and History and explains why he writes historical fiction. He has lived abroad for several years where he now teaches English to college or university students in China. He hates shaving and trimming his hair but loves music, moments and soundtracks of old musical movies. When he isn't reading or writing, he'll go for a good walk or a long swim. He has done a lot of hiking and has traveled extensively, some of which has been useful in researching his books. He also has a short story called 'Washed Up' which can be read on The Berlin Review at their web page.
