David Dyer

David Dyer grew up in a coastal town in New South Wales. His 2016 novel The Midnight Watch, is about the ship that saw the Titanic’s distress rockets but didn’t go to her rescue. His research took him to Liverpool, London, Boston, New York and – finally – to the site of the sinking itself in the North Atlantic Ocean. David currently lives in Sydney, where he teaches, writes and makes cocktails. His new book This Kingdom of Dust, is a fictional exploration of what would have happened if the 1969 moon landing went horribly wrong.
