D A Adamson is a long-established advertising copywriter who has written for press, radio and TV. He is a native Yorkshire man with a keen sense of the ironic and a love of the absurd. This humour, arising through careful observation, is gleefully apparent throughout his narrative style. Before entering advertising, Adamson worked in a small, rural bank and much of the material for his central character is drawn from this experience. He was inspired by the books of Waugh, Heller, Hemmingway and John Updike, and from early childhood read Private Eye avidly. Like many advertising copywriters there was always an uncompleted book lurking in his top right hand drawer, and The Windelton Absurdities is the culmination of that ambition. His second novel, a sequel, was publishing in 2016. D A Adamson is married with three grown-up children and still lives in Yorkshire. See less
