Alex Cathcart

Born and raised in the South-side of Glasgow. Poor hard upbringing, like many others.
Local Carnegie Library was a refuge. Colourful early young life.
Emigrated to Australia. See The Comeback.
Mature student at Glasgow and Strathclyde. See The Missionary.
Eventually had to work for a living as a Lecturer and fell into a comfort zone.
Now retired and writing more than ever - and being rejected by agents with all the usual regrets. The author's included.
