David ToobyDavid Tooby was born in Scotland in 1964 and migrated to Perth in 1971. He left Perth to study in the eastern states in 1983, following a period of travelling and working in various design practices David and his wife settled on the North Coast of NS. David has four adult children and has been a director of a successful design consultancy practice for over 20 years. David started writing later in life owing to undiagnosed childhood dyslexia. He suffered poor writing and comprehension skills, so much so he failed English at school. But David has always wanted to write, and he had one good high school English experience which stuck with him. More importantly, from that experience he never forgot the joy of writing with almost complete abandon. It wasn't until his late forties that David felt ready to cast aside his childhood handicap and try his hand at writing. Read More Read Less
