Mitch Davies

Mitch Davies was born in Canada where he lived for 40 years before moving to the desert of Arizona. He is a true child of the media having grown up with a father who worked his entire career in the film industry. The house he grew up in had a television on from the time he woke up until he went to bed. The influence of stories, whether real or made up, was always present.

Later, an English teacher sparked an interest in reading for Mitch in his early in high school years. The continued influence of stories now created a new goal, a goal to write. Whether the stories were historical non-fiction or fiction, the influence was ever present. As a result Mitch viewed most of life’s occurrences as scenes for a story and he incorporates many of his experiences in his writing. He hopes you will enjoy his work.

For the past number of years Mitch has developed a strong interest in Japan. This interest in Japanese history and culture has taken him to Japan on many occasions. His travels in Japan included visits to historical locations of significance so he could see first hand the sights where a nation’s essence unfolded. His third novel, The Inn of Fallen Leaves, is a direct result of his travels to Japan and the inspirations gathered.
