David Groome was Senior Academic in the Psychology Department at the University of Westminster until 2011, when he retired. However, he continues to write cognitive psychology books. He has now authored 15 books, but this still leaves him some way behind his friend Mike who appears further down this list of authors. David’s hobbies include tennis, dogs, and music. He is a keen guitarist and he is still waiting for his big break as a rock star.
