Harold Davis grew up between the woods and the ocean in Colinet, Newfoundland—a hamlet of about 200 souls. He began his education in a building heated with a pot-bellied stove. He finished it at Memorial University of Newfoundland and at the Institute of Canadian Bankers. His resume includes stints as a beaver trapper, trawlerman, logger, and bank manager.

He has been a writer as long as he can remember, but most of his scribbles have been for his own pleasure. His first book, The Starrigans of Little Brook Bottom was published by Creative Book Publishing in 2005 under the "Tuckamore" imprint. He also wrote a community editorial column for The Telegram.

His primary work-in-progress is a historical fiction that reaches to stir readers' emotions by following the life of a good man from the 1880s to the space age. He is also working on a sequel to The Starrigans of Little Brook Bottom and completing the research for a community history.

When he’s not writing, he is a self-employed financial consultant. He and his wife, Sharon, have three children: Mark, 24; Greg, 22; and Amanda, 18. He loves to roam the rivers and woods around his home in Salmonier, Newfoundland.
