the Author

A little bit about me, but not too much…

I was born under a Maltese sun and raised, for a little while, under an Ethiopian. However, it is under the rarely-seen Scottish sun that I have spent most of my life, in Edinburgh.

Here I met my wife, and it was here that our three children were born. Here, too, we took ownership of a dog and a cat—Arthur and Willow, respectively.

Having worked as a teacher for many years in and around schools, I’ve most recently turned my attention to creative writing and am a doctoral student in the subject at the University of Edinburgh.

I am passionate about telling stories, tall ones and short ones, and I enjoy Turkish Delight.
