I was born in Scotland, I was resident in Scotland for at least six months, One or both of my parents were born in Scotland, One or more of my grandparents were born in Scotland

France

A Scot who has discovered Paradise in a small town he calls Medville on the Côte Vermeille, C. E. Ayr has spent a large part of his life in the West of Scotland and a large part elsewhere.

His first job was selling programmes at his local football club and he has since tried 73 other career paths, the longest being in IT, with varying degrees of success.

All 5 (five) of his e-books can be viewed and, hopefully, purchased by visiting his Author Page on Amazon:
https://www.amazon.co.uk/c-e-ayr/e/B07FNK9PRY

He has a blog:

He is somewhat nomadic, fairly irresponsible and, according to his darling daughter, a bit random.
So, nobody’s perfect.

Michael Cobley always has a Plan B.

He has had eight novels published, the Shadowkings trilogy (Simon & Schuster), the Humanity’s Fire space opera trilogy (Orbit UK/US), and another two novels set in the HFire universe.

Most recently, he edited the ‘Night, Rain & Neon’ anthology for Newcon Press in 2022, and had a well-regarded cyberpunk story in Parsec #8.

Even though he has crossed the Rubicon of Maturity (ie, just turned 64), he still harbours crazy ambitions along the lines of writing something that’ll end up being either gamified or filmed. (He’ll even settle for a TV mini-series!).
