Life on the Line [antikvár]

life on the line David Skipper was born in 1962 and grew up on a housing estate in the heart of industrial Teesside. He says of Life on the Line, "I grew up around a railway and so a lot of the events and places in the book are real, including Twenty-one Arches and Suicide Leap. Unfortunately the Arches has now been demolished because it was considered a danger to adventurous children. I still live close to the line and can hear the sound of the trains in the night." An avid film fan, David started at sixteen to write screenplays and short stories and to make his own Super 8 movies before he had his first novel, Runners, published in 1987. He lives in Cleveland, where, since leaving school, he has worked as a laboratory technician.
