Goliath the Bruiser

A storyteller, traveller, and grandfather, David Ritchie shares page-turners that make you chuckle, reflect, and imagine.David was born in Harare, Zimbabwe and moved to Sydney, NSW, with his family when he was ten.A former teacher, pastor, and carpenter, he has lived and worked in Australia and Kenya - teaching physics in Nairobi, climbing Mt Kenya three times, and collecting stories from every chapter of his life.Now semi-retired in Newcastle, Australia, David writes for readers of all ages. His work ranges from rhyming ballads that weave humour and faith to imaginative fiction for children and adults. He draws inspiration from a lifetime of adventure, travel, and teaching, as well as from his wife, Margy, their four children, and eight grandchildren. They know that Pa always has another story to tell.When he's not writing, David can usually be found with a good book in hand or tending four chickens and his vegetable garden-the perfect place, he says, to dream up his next story.
