About the Author

David S. Smith. The Bronze Butterfly is David’s first novel. It explores a series of events that turn the world on its head and perhaps reverse history in a way that some may feel is uncomfortable. The story is observed throughout the world under the close scrutiny of the television camera. The final outcome is for you to decide but the journey is fun. This is David’s third book and follows his collection of 60 short stories, “The Stonnall Brigade” and his first book “Lily” that is an account of his mother’s life growing up in Birmingham from the First World War to the end of the second. His varied career has included marketing regional newspapers, running a theatre ticketing agency, a computer company and fashion magazines. He went on to launch his own advertising and marketing business before entering into the world of politics becoming Leader of Lichfield District Council and later Council Chairman. He was responsible for the construction and development of the Lichfield Garrick Theatre and made a significant contribution to the economic development of the district. David received an honorary doctorate from the University of Staffordshire in 2006. He also played a major role both regionally and nationally when he was Chairman of the West Midlands Regional Assembly. As a member of Staffordshire County Council his major interests are in Regional Development and the environment. David is married with a son and a daughter and has five grandchildren.
