Life Story: David Appleby is the author of Moon Alley, a novel written in the form of connected stories and cited by an amazon.com 'top 10 reviewer' as “a solidly unique voice -- highly recommended,” and also praised by Book View Ireland for its “pleasing symmetry in structure…and convincingly drawn picture of a once-thriving area.” The author, a recipient of a PEW Fellowship, and a graduate of Temple University has recently published a new collection of short stories, 'Love Sketches.' Reviewer Susan Jupp, writing in "Necessary Fiction" states that "The author [of Moon Alley] has new characters to people his tales...his locus is academia--whether directly within a university setting or using characters who are academics...certainly educated individuals with a different lifestyle from those in Moon Alley..."Both books are available in all formats at amazon.co.uk
