🏳️‍🌈Hailing from the cold, wet streets of Dublin, David Anderson is the author of The Drowners. Like a Hummingbird, after college, he migrated south to warmer climes. Namely, sunny Spain, where he teaches students who are bemused by hearing the Queen's English delivered in an Irish brogue. In 2021, he won a YA Watty award for his novel The Art of Breathing Underwater.
