He has written more than 40 books about Sussex, as well as several volumes of the Salariya Book Company's Very Peculiar History series[1] and a number of works of fiction. His 1984 novel The Frozen City has been translated into Japanese.[2] His first venture into political satire, Lady Thatcher's Wink, was published in 2016.[3] As an author, his books are largely held in libraries worldwide.[4] As an author, he has been collected by libraries worldwide.[5] Arscott worked as a journalist from 1959, first with the Investors Chronicle and the Evening Standard in London and then for the English language paper The Daily Journal in Caracas, Venezuela. Returning to England, he reported for the Dorset Evening Echo.[6] After taking an English degree at Hertford College, Oxford,[7] he joined BBC Radio Brighton as a news producer, switching to general programme production and presentation shortly before the station expanded to become BBC Radio Sussex.[8] His publishing company, Pomegranate Press, founded in 1992, until recently offered a self-publishing service to other authors. It initially specialised in books with a Sussex theme but later expanded to include the Pomegranate Practicals nutshell guides, fiction and a range of non-fiction titles.[9] He is also involved in media training with Curtin and Co, working with colleagues in the UK and abroad to coach individuals and groups in improving their skills in front of the microphone and the camera.[10] David Arscott lives in South Chailey, UK.[11] BibliographySussex booksHidden Sussex (with Warden Swinfen) (BBC Radio Sussex) 1984 People of Hidden Sussex (with Warden Swinfen)(BBC Radio Sussex) 1985 Hidden Sussex Day by Day (with Warden Swinfen) (BBC Radio Sussex) 1987[12]Hidden Sussex The Towns (with Warden Swinfen) (BBC Radio Sussex) 1990[13]Explore Sussex (Countryside Books) 1986 The Sussex Story (Pomegranate Press) 1992 Living Sussex (Pomegranate Press) 1994 Curiosities of East Sussex (SB Publications) 1991 Hastings and the 1066 Country (SB Publications) 1993 Curiosities of West Sussex (SB Publications) 1993 A Sussex Quiz Book (SB Publications) 1993 Tales from the Parish Pump (SB Publications) 1994 Sussex, the County in Colour (Dovecote Press) 1995 A Second Sussex Quiz Book (SB Publications) 1995 Dead and Buried in Sussex (SB Publications) 1997 Sussex Privies (Countryside Books) 1998 What the Vicar Saw (Pomegranate Press) 1999 The Sussex Millennium Book (Pomegranate Press) 1999 The Sussex Gardens Book (Pomegranate Press) 2000 A Century of Brighton & Hove (Sutton Publishing) 2000 Eastbourne Past & Present (Sutton Publishing) 2001 Horsham Past & Present (Sutton Publishing) 2002 Brighton in the News (Sutton Publishing) 2002 Amberley Castle (Dovecote Press) 2002 A Century of Eastbourne (Sutton Publishing) 2002 Chailey Heritage (SB Publications) 2003 East Sussex Events (Phillimore) 2003 The Sussex Bedside Book (Dovecote Press) 2003 Our Lewes (Sutton Publishing) 2004 Sussex: a Colour Portrait (Countryside Books 2004 Lewes Then & Now vol. 2 (with Bill Young) (SB Publications) 2004 The Neat & Nippy Guide to Lewes (SB Publications) 2006 Wunt be Druv: a salute to the Sussex dialect (Countryside Books) 2006 A Sussex Kipling (Pomegranate Press) 2007 A Tour Along the Sussex Coast (Snake River Press) 2008[14][15]Brighton: a Very Peculiar History (Salariya) 2009[16][17]The Sussex Pub Quiz Book (Pomegranate Press) 2010 The Little Book of Sussex (History Press) 2011[18][19]Horsham Then & Now (History Press) 2011 Floreat Lewys: 500 Years of Lewes Old Grammar School (Pomegranate Press) 2012[20][21]Brighton, a Very Peculiar History Quiz Book (Salariya) 2012 Very Peculiar Histories (Salariya)The Blitz, 2009 Rations, 2010 The World Cup, 2010[22]The Olympics, 2011[23]60 Years a Queen, 2011[24]Golf, 2011 The Sixties, 2012[25]Sex, 2012 England vol.
