Paul Sands was born in 1962 and raised close to the River Trent in Nottingham. He didn’t attend anything other than comprehensive school and couldn’t be bothered to go to university but did work from the age of 16 in the IT industry (between playing in various noisy beat-combos) for twenty-seven years until downsized and outsourced in 2006. After dallying with photography he now lives and attempts to work as a Learning Support Assistant at a college of further education in Lincolnshire. He probably swears a little too much but considers himself to be following the example set by Chaucer. He writes of memories, experience and dreams but does also like to make things up so a pinch of salt is often required
