You’re bound to have seen him. He sits at the bottom of the slope leading into Waverley Station. You know, the big guy with the beard. You can smell him before you see him.
Well I met a bloke in Leith yesterday, at the end of the Kirkgate, who said that homeless guy is actually an MI5 agent. I just laughed and walked away, leaving the man feeding the birds.
Before graduating in English Literature at the University of Edinburgh in 1995, I worked as a master joiner/carpenter. Following graduation from university, I studied for a post-graduate diploma in Community Education and worked as a literacy tutor in Community Learning and Development. I have gained education awards and published an academic paper on the use of Scots language in family literacy work. I have produced teachers' notes for the Scottish Book Trust.
My first work of fiction, Justified Sinner, was completed in 2016. Since then I have published three more novels in the JP Associate series.
