Born and bred in Glasgow,s north side I was only ever good at sports at school but became interested and started writing poetry at age eight. Joined the army at seventeen and a half but would rather not talk about that time! Had my poems published in the UK and America and started practicing writing fictional stories, all my poems and stories were burnt in an alcoholic induced state of depression! I didn't write again for some fifteen years, not until the first book in my trilogy "The Glaswegian" was born and finished, I have since written the second book in the trilogy "Castle MacLeod" and am half way through writing the third "The last Dedication", at least I was/am at the time of writing this!
