David Gee

Biography

I've worked in telecomms and journalism in London and the Persian Gulf, but have now settled back onto my native Sussex South Downs to a life of writing and rustic pursuits (pub-lunches and dog-walking!) You can read Extracts from some of my yet-to-be-published novels at www.abctales.com, including my 'romantic thriller' LILLIAN AND THE ITALIANS - written to show my mother that there would be life after 50. THE BEXHILL MISSILE CRISIS is likely to be the next book I publish on Smashwords.

David Gee's 'blueprint' for Revolution on a fictitious island in the Persian Gulf offers a comic alternative to the grim events currently happening in those states struggling to achieve Regime Change. 'Witty, entertaining, raunchy and very well written,' said Peter O'Donnell, creator of Modesty Blaise.

Smashwords book reviews by David Gee

Coming of Age on May 20, 2011

This is a laugh-out-loud excursion into Bridget Jones territory, with a heroine who's old enough to know better and - most of the time - does. When she finally overcomes her inhibitions and lets her hair down, there's a deleriously awkward bedroom scene which many older readers (and some younger ones too) will identify with. An uplifting read from start to finish.
And Such Great Names as These on Jan. 08, 2012

A poignant portrait of the lives of the gallant young lads (many of them far too young) who went to fight - and die - in the trenches of the Somme. Makepeace vividly evokes the English towns and villages they came from and the families they tore themselves away from. We are reminded that this was a world where the rich got richer and the poor always knew their place - and the battlefield shredded all of them. A fine addition to the literature of World War One.
