Carol Perrier) is best known as the author of the historical fantasy sensation “The Prali Trilogy,” which

Early Childhood
Davidson spent his entire life living in San Jose, California attending Sherman Oaks, Blackford Elementary
schools, and later on studied at Campbell Junior High. In his early years he excelled in a variety of sports,
though his passion was writing. Davidson wrote his first scripted play at age six, and eventually his
works would be visualized and performed on stage in school plays and assemblies at Sherman Oaks
Elementary. During his childhood he read such greats as J.R.R. Tolkien, and C.S. Lewis, who inspires him
to this day. Davidson also was an actor of local stage doing many improvisation works and stage plays.
After graduating Junior High School Davidson attended Del Mar High School where he found himself
bored with the structure and found he enjoyed writing more and more without obeying school protocol.
Davidson would graduate from high school in 1988.
Adulthood
After graduating high school Davidson attended San Jose City College, and in the summer months would
work for the Department of Forestry in the wild fire department in Magalia, California. During this time
Davidson became a single father at age nineteen, and continued his schooling while conducting his
parental duties. Eventually he realized that a city college would not be sufficient so he packed up his
tent and attended Xavier University where he majored in Ecology. Soon after receiving his Bachelors Of
Science he was employed as a writer of fantasy novels with a publishing company in the mid-nineties
where he would eventually have creative differences and he felt moving forward on his own would
be best. In the late nineties and early two thousands Davidson wrote movie scripts and television
commercials, though he never sold a film script he continued forward. Eventually the economy would
fall into recession and Davidson needed to think of another road to take and new challenges, so he
decided to go back to writing novels. Davidson would eventually form Haworth Enterprises, his own
writing company. Though it is only a one man operation Davidson continues to write his books for all
to enjoy. Between 1999 and 2000 Davidson would have two more children, and eventually marrying in
2011. Davidson enjoys being an author for young adults because it brings him back to that happy place,
his childhood.
