DAVID HOLMES lived a young boy's dream. A competitive gymnast, he was thrust into the Hollywood spotlight having been cast as a junior stuntman on the 1998 sci-fi movie, Lost in Space.
Two years later he landed the role as stunt double to Daniel Radcliffe in the Harry Potter films where he battled dragons, explored
underwater worlds and racked up more broomstick miles than anyone else in the Wizarding World. Then in 2009, David's world
changed when a horrific accident fractured his C6 and C7 vertebrae, leaving him paralysed from the chest down. In a period of emotional soul-searching, he came to an important realisation: he was a survivor, not a victim.
Since then, he has raised hundreds of thousands of pounds through the David Holmes Harry Potter Cricket Cup and is an ambassador for the Wings for Life Foundation and the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital in Stanmore. Elsewhere,
David has been a published essay writer in the New York Times, and has given speeches in front of members of the royal family at both Buckingham Palace and Saint James's palace. He produced a BAFTA-nominated documentary about his life entitled The Boy Who Lived and posed for a powerful portrait in which he
stripped naked and set himself on fire. He lives in Essex.

The Berlin Trilogy
|
Into the Night and Fog, the first story of The Berlin Trilogy, is followed by The Gypsy of Berlin and The Book Finder. In 1941, Berlin, a top government and Party official compels crime reporter turned book critic Thomas Rost to find a diary, missing since the early 1930s in Munich. But powerful leaders in Nazi Germany don't want the lost book found. It's a dangerous assignment and Rost has only a young woman on the run from the Gestapo as an ally. The books do not stand alone; rather, one part leads into the next. In addition, the three stories are available in a one-volume edition under the title The Berlin Trilogy. Also read the just-published Stella by Star Light, a follow-up to the Berlin Trilogy.
