David F. Ross

David F. Ross is a Scottish author known for his exuberant, music-infused fiction that celebrates the culture and characters of west-central Scotland. His novel Dashboard Elvis Is Dead is a darkly comic story that weaves together music, politics and Scottish culture in a narrative that is both wildly entertaining and surprisingly moving. Ross's fiction is characterised by its energy, its love of music, its dark humour and its deep affection for the communities and characters of working-class Scotland. His Disco Days trilogy, beginning with The Last Days of Disco, established him as a distinctive voice in Scottish fiction, combining nostalgia for the music and culture of the 1970s and 1980s with sharp social observation. Ross has also worked in architecture, and his visual sensibility informs the vivid, cinematic quality of his prose. His writing appeals to readers who enjoy fiction that celebrates music, community and the resilience of ordinary people. The audiobook editions bring his energetic, music-drenched Scottish fiction to listeners who appreciate stories that combine laughter, heart and an infectious love of popular music.
