edit data

Graham J. Sharpe spent over thirty years as long-haul cabin crew. Writing stories between flights and in hotel rooms while the rest of the crew sensibly found the nearest bar. His award-winning debut novel, Purple, was born from those jet-lagged hours. He is currently completing Cakewalking, a deeply personal work of auto-fiction exploring grief, desire, friendship, and family through the eyes of a teenage boy. His short story Sea Change appears in Queer Life, Queer Love Vol. 3. Still writing. Still inspired.
