David Donachie

David Donachie was born in 1944, in Edinburgh; Scotland. His father served in the Royal Airforce, which gave him the chance to get decent schooling. David left school at an early teenage of 14 years out of sheer boredom. Despite his loathe for school, David Donachie relished history, but before he could pen his first book he took on several odd jobs like truck driving, ice cream vending, salesmanship, and theater jobs among others, to survive. Some of his most exciting odd job moments were painting Sean Connery’s mom’s condo, which pricked his ambition to do something special.
