David Fluck was born in Kent, England in 1964. He grew up as the fourth child of a country parson in Lincolnshire and went on to join the Royal Navy. His last Naval appointment before retirement was as a NATO Staff Officer based in Norway.

David still lives in Oslo, and as a hobby, has designed several boardgames, written poetry and short stories, some serious and others less so, and is a keen watercolourist. However, what he likes best is to be with his wonderful family and dog Sarah, getting away from it all, to his small primitive cabin, up in the Norwegian mountains.
