BIOGRAPHY
David Pipe was born in 1949 in a small Essex village. He attended Cheshunt Grammar School before studying chemistry at Hull. He worked in the pharmaceutical industry in England and South Africa then earned a PhD in organic chemistry from Imperial College. After spells at universities in Geneva and Mulhouse he joined the oil industry in Germany where aged 53 he gratefully took a redundancy package. Following a period of self-employment he wound down his business, eventually giving it up to scratch the writing itch which produced his first books, Sacrificing Starlight and Henry's Tale.

His Border terrier Henry was the inspiration for his second book, Henry's Tale. Unfortunately Henry left us at almost fifteen in 2023.

When he’s not writing David spends his spare time reading, swimming and Nordic Walking. He is married and lives with his wife and their new Border terrier Blix in Hamburg.
