D. Davidson was born in Jersey City, New Jersey in 1943. His early years were spent growing up in Sunnyside, Queens, N.Y. and attending P.S. 150. He moved to Long Island in the summer of 1955 (the year the Brooklyn Dodgers finally won a World Series). He enjoyed his teenage years growing up in the small town of Farmingville. After graduation from high school ... at age 17 he enlisted in the United States Air Force. He met his co-author, R. Marcano, while stationed in South Korea in 1963. After returning home their lives moved in different directions. By chance they found each other again via the Internet and met in Las Vegas in the summer of 2012. After going down memory lane they decided to write the book, "Butterfly Wish". Although it's a work of fiction it's based loosely on incidents they either encountered or heard about while serving in South Korea.
