Stephen is a Scotsman from the South West Highlands. He holds a BA in psychology and has had a chequered work life, predominantly in care work. He is a self-confessed 'neuro non-average'. From an early age Stephen escaped into fiction and story telling; to cope with his learning difficulties. To the extent that the teachers at his primary school used him to keep the other kids amused. “They would sit rapt.” he says.
While other kids were discovering football, cars and a future in 'The Forestry Commission'. Stephen was discovering Edgar Allan Poe, HP Lovecraft et al, and journeying to far horizons with Classic Doctor Who.
“I've always been a writer. Although I got lost and didn't write for a long time.”
A voracious reader, cat lover, aficionado of “the finest wines known to man” and general outdoors type; Stephen is quite accepting of the influence his Celtic culture has had on his writing. While also noting that this has encouraged him to take an interest in other traditions too.
If that wasn't enough, he's a direct descendant of Henry 7th, on his mother's side.
Stephen's work has been gaining a following on the Youtube Audio Horror circuit. See links below for examples of this.
