about me

I am supporting WEDNESDAY'S CHILD by Jennifer Braun. If you vote for her book I will always consider your book very carefully.'


My book, BADD, reached the editor under the old system - it was very hard work.

HEALTH WARNING. Due to sitting for too long at a stretch 'doing' Authonomy - I developed a clot in my right leg - part of this then moved to my lungs. That nearly killed me. However, I soon fully recovered, but I do strongly advise regular walk abouts at short intervals. I was lucky - DVT is serious - a pulmonary embolism can be fatal - I was lucky.

Currently, I either write, play golf, or chess, or invent stuff.
For me, surviving childhood was probably a miracle and that experience has prompted many cautionary tales in BADD. This comprised 25 linked, true-to-life dramas / comedies that followed a young boy growing up. At first, he is a minor menace but he ends up a hero. The stories are aimed to engage parents, teachers, young adults, and particularly children aged 8 -11. Many children in this age group have read at least some Barry Badd stories and have been very complimentary.

After much revision and adding several chapters BADD, the book shown here, was split into two.
Using Createspace I published BADD: Book 1 Menace to hero, I am splitting my other 5 books, so will end up with a 12 book series - in this my antihero, ages 9 - 13.
BADD: Book 1 Menace to hero, is on sale on KINDLE. and on AMAZON.
BADD: Book 2, HAUNTED BY CATS is also on Kindle and Amazon.
Books 3 and 4 are ready to publish.
My books are copyright D A Seaby or David Allen Seaby

BADD has been made private on Authonomy.

favourite books

I greatly enjoy Bill Bryson's intelligent humour, I also particularly like amusing biographies. For example The moon's a balloon by David Niven, Dear Fatty by Dawn French, The Elephant to Hollywood by Michael Caine.

I only read chapter 1 but thought it very well written with a distictive 'voice'. The sentences are packed with information but it is never difficult to follow the meaning. I very soon wished for a happy outcome for the talented Apache girl but at the same time I feared for her and that gave the sto... view book

I only read the first chapter. I found it interesting and exciting. To my mind the character 'talks' to the reader in 'American-film tough-guy speak'. I liked that and I am happy to put this book on my shelf. David view book

I read story 11 and I liked it very much. I think the problem with any story written in a child's voice is that a real child is likely to speak in short not very profound sentences, which usually also lack content likely to impress an adult. However, I remember as a child having much more profound t... view book

I must say I liked the first chapter very much. It has plenty of tension and paints an interesting, vivid picture. Already I feel involved with penny's future. I'd like to back this book. David view book
