Graeme K. Talboys was born in London and now lives in Scotland. Trained as a teacher, he worked in a number of schools and museums before taking up writing full time. He has had eight works of non-fiction, eight novels, a collection of short stories, poetry, and various stories and articles published to date. His non-fiction (published by the likes of Routledge) has addressed museum education, drama, and matters spiritual. His fiction (published by the likes of HarperVoyager and Monkey Business) explores the lives of the displaced who live and work in those places we pretend do not exist but are always there at the end of a dark alley, in our dreams, or seen from the corner of the eye. His agent is Leslie Gardner of Artellus Ltd.
