Hello to anyone who bothers reading this profile page. I wouldn't read it personally. It's really pretty dull. I'd just stick to the fiction but suit yourself. Here is a fairly uninteresting overview of me.

My name is Kevin (or The-Real-Kevy if I can't think of a decent user name and want to sound like an idiot) and I am an aspiring writer. I come from Dundee, Scotland and am currently at university. This means I probably won't have much time for writing creative bits and pieces and shoving them up here, I suppose. But I do hope that a few people will read and enjoy my meagre output.

I tend to predominantly write prose fiction but occasionally turn my hand to poetry, which in all honesty I doubt I will ever be particularly good at. However, I'm trying and - fingers crossed - I'll crack it one day. I also write lyrics for a band that I'm in but little of that will ever really get posted here, so that is completely irrelevant information. I swear I'm just wasting yours and my time with this. Oh well...

With regards to reviews, I genuinely appreciate constructive criticism and thank anyone who is prepared to take a few moments of their precious time to give me their opinions. I don't have much of a concept of quality control so a bit of feedback is always helpful.


Currently reading: 'Lord of the Flies' by William Golding.
