Born in Adelaide, South Australia, David A Neuman was gifted a vivid imagination. In the late seventies, he walked out of Norwood High School an underachiever to embark on a scholastic journey before graduating from Flinders University in Behavioral Science.

Some thirty years ago, disenchanted in the rigidity of life's endless stop signs, he penned Kaleidoscopic Shades - Within Black Eternity and, if not for a chance meeting with a man of poetry, this gold book award winner would have remained a secreted passion. Though he has written several other novels, yet to be released, he admits that each production is a two year dedication and similar to stumbling over a rough diamond before looking into its heart.

Neuman continues to live in Adelaide with his four-legged companions: Saffron, Cinnamon and Ginger - his very own Spice Girls. It is here he feels at home, especially when exploring its ghostly past, understanding that, regardless of one's background, we are all in this together. And always will be.
