Ken says, 'Come fishing tomorrow Dave,' and because there's no football, Dave goes. From that day on, he's hooked by the magic of the river, with its battling barbel and primitive pike, big chub and shining roach. But the river has mysteries too. Is a ghost fishing between them on the Bank? who's drowning on the day they skive school? How wise can it be to explore an underground lake where something very big swims in the dark? Have the lads discovered an irresistible bait? And how much in love do you have to be to let a girl challenge you to a match? One thing is sure - whatever happens, he'll be fishing forever.

David Churchill was born ages ago in Swindon, where he still lives. He&'s really grateful to his grown-up daughter and son, Alison and Jon, whose combined efforts taught him how to use his computer the right way up.

After over thirty years of enjoyable teaching he now leads patients in creative writing in the local hospice supported by a Lottery Millennium Award, walks miles on the hills with his wife Jaci, fishes the Upper Thames and Bristol Avon, gardens and finds every excuse to be part of the local landscape.

He thinks his books write themselves when he's not looking, and he hopes they go on doing it.
