Want to know some stuff about me?

I grew up in Coatbridge, Scotland, and after my six years at High School I attended the University of Glasgow studying Chemistry with Medicinal Chemistry. Having graduated with an M.Sci (Hons) degree, I continued my studies and gained my teaching qualification. As a newly qualified teacher I returned to my hometown and taught Chemistry in one of the local high schools. With a proven track record in teaching I was accepted as a full member of the Royal Society of Chemistry and entitled to use the designatory Letters 'MRSC'.

During my time at University I met the woman who I would later marry. After the wedding I moved away from Coatbridge and now live, with my wife, in the West End of Glasgow.

Although I have dabbled in short stories my first main work of fiction started in my sixth year of high school. It was an ambitious project and at that time I lacked the skill to see it through to completion. About a year later I returned to the project. I used the work, which I had already completed, as a back story to my first Novel - Star Fantasy: The Voice of Darkness.

Between teaching and writing novels, I have penned screenplays and short stories.

As well as writing, I own and operate Rampant Film Production, a Scottish Independent Film company. As a Filmmaker and Animator, I get a chance to explore other avenues of creativity. I try my best to find many other ways to express myself.

Mike is a close friend of my big brother and like myself finds a great deal of enjoyment as being a big 'geek'. I would have to describe Mike as being a completely bonkers Englishman and one of the nicest gentlemen you would ever meet.

Mike and I seemed to have now established our own little writers group. Mike's first novel 'Goliath' is can be purchased by following this link: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/122761
