David P Perlmutter

DAVID P PERLMUTTER, that's me, and welcome.

I have a led a very colourful life, with some episodes so noteworthy that so far they have produced three thrilling true stories, with more to follow. 

Away from writing and along with my girlfriend, who is also my editor, I am a volunteer Cancer Campaigns Ambassador for Cancer Research UK, and have done many charity book signing events, to raise money for a cause that is very close to my heart. 

I have four children and a grandson and I'm very close to my large family who feature in each of my books. 

I started to write my first book when I lived in Portugal in 2013. I now live in London. The book, WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME, has been a #1 BESTSELLER on Amazon around the world, with many hundreds of 4 and 5* reviews. The story is based on true events that happened to me when I visited Marbella in 1991 and ended up wrongly arrested for arson and manslaughter. 

I'm very excited to say that the book is currently being turned into a screenplay with a view to it becoming a movie in the very near future, which is every author's dream and something I could never have imagined when I began writing.

Another of my true stories is called FIVE WEEKS, about a trip I made to Pennsylvania, America for five weeks of training for a new job. I won't give too much away, apart from saying that I was nearly left for dead in a Pennsylvania wood, and that's after having a gun in my back in London.

My most recent book, also a true story, follows my escapades as a 21 year old, seeking fame and fortune in America. Entitled 24 HOURS IN NEW YORK, the clue is in the name as to the duration of my stay. 

Away from writing true stories, I also write self-help books for indie authors. There are eight books in the MY WAY series, the majority being guides to self publishing and book marketing, the others featuring authors from around the world in various different genres.
