Destiny Reforged

David Murray Forrester (1981) While studying Education at Macquarie University to become a primary school teacher, David became inspired by the passion of the lecturers who were so absorbed and in love with their chosen field of study. David decided to leave university to follow his dreams of becoming a fantasy author. Growing up in the Blue Mountains in Australia he quickly developed a love of forests and adventure (much like the elves of Lothlorien). He spent the 80’s watching cartoons such as Voltron, He-man and Astro boy and building Lego castles. As he continued aging his interest in cartoons evolved into an anime fascination with The Twelve Kingdoms and Berserk being at the top of his list. He enjoys Playstation, fast cars, Pepsi, cats and tomato sauce. His book writing began at an early age with short stories and over the years his passion for words grew and blossomed into his first novel Born of the Phoenix. David plans to continue his career in writing until he is old and grey. His two favourite authors are J.R.R Tolkien and Joe Dever.
