Biography

David Field is a professor of Astrophysics at the University of Aarhus, Denmark. He has published numerous articles in many Astronomy and Physics journals, gaining on the way a Ph.D. and a Sc.D. at the University of Cambridge, UK. With an international scientific reputation, he pursues the busy life of an academic, teaching, researching and attending scientific meetings around the world.

The present trilogy is the first published work of intentional fiction. There were however many years of unpublished writing for his two daughters, starting by scribbling down bedtime stories during tedious journeys in the Paris metro. He and his family have lived in various countries, England, Germany, France, China and Denmark, where he is now settled, his wife a medical practitioner and his daughters grown up and at college and university.

Interests

I like to read Roald Dahl, again and again! I read many novels, both light and serious. I also read science books, for example, ‘Rare Earth’ about the origin of life on Earth, or a biography, such as that of Alan Turing. I play the piano, Mozart, Beethoven, Brahms, tango, Danish Christmas carols at the laboratory Christmas party (Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, accompanying a bass trombone last year) – in fact any music that is thrust in front of me, so far as I am able to manage it! Very occasionally I take part in a concert, which means hours of practice. I love to go walks with my wife along the seashore, a few hundred yards from where we live, and to go to concerts and events with my wife and the one daughter who is still at home.

Writing these books about Tommy and Eloise, short stories and very, very short nanostories, is a favourite occupation, too. Perhaps one day some of these other stories will be published.
