GRAHAM HIGSON lives in an outlying Pennine village and shares this blustery environment with a growing collection of books, his understanding wife and a workshop piled high with offcuts of oak. Their two grown-up children are among his best friends. Having been interested in writing since he was at primary school, he began interviewing celebrities when he was 15, going on to write professionally on wide-ranging subjects for various magazines over the following years. Oak Seer: A Supernatural Mystery was the first of his published novels, followed by Flither Lass, a historical novel set during the First World War. His fictionalized memoir How Much for a Little Screw? - Tales from behind the counter and its "equel" All Mod Cons are based on many years working as a hardware man. His biggest critic is his technical manager, Gerald the cat. He's a member of the Open and University College Falmouth alumni, and his hobbies include woodworking, reading, watching lots of screen drama, publishing books for the Walmsley Society, and searching for that elusive moment of self-discovery, though he says he'll keep trying.
