David MacPhail left home at 18 to travel the world and have adventures. After working as a chicken wrangler, a ghost-tour guide and a waiter on a tropical island, he now has the sensible job of writing about yetis and Vikings. At home in Perthshire, Scotland, he exists on a diet of cream buns and zombie movies. David is the author of Yeti on the Loose and the Thorfinn the Nicest Viking series.
