Hello and welcome to my website, I am Gwyneth Harold Davidson.
I am a Young Adult (YA) author living in the Caribbean, which makes every day an adventure for me, as it has to be among the most fun, dynamic and beautiful places to live in the world. I am inspired by the everyday valour, hope and heroism of our young people, and I try to capture their aspirations in my work. I also see the threatened beauty of our Caribbean islands, and so the natural environment features strongly in my work, almost like a character. Through my fiction, I explore some of the big ideas that can face young people. These include their role as citizens; the impact of history on contemporary life (without being nostalgic); and the value (or not) of their community to them. My tween and teen characters, and the adults around them, are usually facing an unavoidable personal conflict, or a new situation for which they may feel unprepared. Please click through for my books, images, audio drama and events it is all here on the website. Regards, Gwyneth Harold Davidson |
