About the Author
After 30 years in the computer industry, and 13 years with the Essex County Community Foundation, author David Tory began researching philanthropy in 17th century New England. His research uncovered facts about the early settlements that appeared to be generally unknown. As he delved deeper, the character Isaac Stanfield evolved to become the observer and participant in that early history in what became his novel series The Stanfield Chronicles. Tory is also a lifelong sailor. Born in the UK, he moved to the United States in 1980 and now lives on Cape Ann, Massachusetts, with Helen, his wife of 48 years. Tory’s Stanfield Chronicles tell the story of Isaac Stanfield, a young man with a thirst for adventure.
