The author is a late starter who only began to write short stories five years ago.

He then decided to try his hand at writing short stories by attending creative writing classes and joining a U3A writing group. He has built a portfolio of a range of stories that covers many genres, including humour, and human and social attitude tales inspired in Glasgow.
