Miles Craven is my penname, an amalgam of the name I was born with (Michael Craven) and the name that replaced it when my mother remarried (Michael Miles). An exiled Yorkshireman living with my family in North Wales, I graduated in Medieval and Modern History at Birmingham University in 1978, where I also completed my PhD in 1982 and in the same year a postgraduate teaching certificate at Wolverhampton University. I have taught in further education colleges and universities for over thirty years, teaching more subjects than I care to remember but specialising in History, English Literature and, most recently, Creative Writing.

Across the Great Divide – Afterword

[image error]EVERY WORD IS true, and you’ll want to know how it all turned out. Part of the answer is right here in this room where I sit facing the mirror and my aged face.  Assuming that the day of my birth is correct, I am 74 years-old.  Olu is brushing my hair as she used to do, only it’s white now, the sliver threads coarse and thin.  Age hasn’t whitened her crop, least none that you’d notice
