About the Author

I was born in Edinburgh on January 8th 1978 and spent my first three years in this world staying with my parents at my Nana and Granddad’s house in Edinburgh. When I was 3 years old, my parents got our first family home in a new town called Livingston. This is where I would embark on my journey through life and learn who I was going to be as a man. I stayed in Livingston until 1996 and you will understand why I have a love for the town and call Livingston home, after 9 years in Broxburn, I am now back in Livingston. 

I have always been creative in some form or fashion. I started by making games when I was a child to keep me busy. These games started around my toy cars I had when I was 6 years old and eventually led to me creating games with a deck of cards, bit of paper and a pen. During my early teen years, I discovered I had a photographic memory and was able to look at a picture and re-create the same picture by drawing a bit of a picture at a time. This was like putting a jigsaw together but with small pictures in my head of the overall picture I was drawing.

I started writing in 1997 and this came from me always wanting to write a song. I eventually sat down and wrote my first song; well what I thought was a song. I showed what I wrote to my family and friends and most people would say it reads more like a poem. So that was it, I started calling my song a poem instead.

I don’t remember what the first poem I wrote was called or what it was about. However I do remember that it wasn’t very good but I was still proud of it. It wasn’t until my fifth poem called Fall in love again that I really felt I had written something nice and that actually rhymed well. However, every writer is always going be there worse critic I expect.
