Raymond Walker Is the award winning author of Sixteen novels, many compendiums of short stories and two books of poetry (though he hates to admit to them). He is a guitar player, songwriter, father (of two cool kids), an occasional philosopher, political thinker, aesthete and imagine-er of the ethereal and unusual. An all round good guy (or so he tells me), perhaps he forgets that I have read his books.
He was born in 1962 and raised in Argyll, Scotland, before moving to Edinburgh to attend university. His love of the countryside, forests, mountains and the relics of his native Scotland are reflected deeply in his writing. His tales echo the dark past and history, the unknown places and wonders of Scotland at the point where reality dips into fantasy until nothing is quite as it seems. Married for the second time He lives in Prestwick, Ayrshire with his beautiful wife, his inflated ego and his man shed. Not one to be pigeon-holed his books range from Romances and Ghost stories to Historical fiction and fantasy. The winner of several writing competitions, his books have received critical acclaim worldwide.
"Trow", Hiding From The Light" and "Beastie" have been his most recent offering's. Soon to come will be the novels, "The Fisherman's Lament" and Baranguiel"
