The Author....
I presently live near Alnwick, Northumberland, England.
I'm in my late 40's and KotP is my first effort at writing a book. I'm writing another at the moment, but when I'm not doing that, I like going out for long walks in the wonderful countryside nearby and along the coast. I love to drive and one of my favourite trips is up to Edinburgh which is only 80 miles or so away. There I walk up the big hill up to Arthur's Seat. On my way up, I often think of how quickly Edward Payson Weston (one of the candidates for the title of KotP) would have coasted to the top had he tried - and he probably did as he was in the great Scottish city on many occasions thrilling the crowds.
I love the subject I have written about and I am a great fan of the "peds" who have provided me with a wonderful story to tell - and believe you me - it's a story that will leave you stunned! I only wish I could have witnessed it all!
