About the Author

Graham Higson hides in an outlying Pennine village and shares this blustery environment with a growing collection of books, a workshop piled high with offcuts of oak, his understanding wife and one mean mortgage. His two grown-up children are among his best friends.

Having written professionally for over 25 years (and then some, he says), Oak Seer: A supernatural mystery was the first of his published novels, followed by Flither Lass, and his memoir How Much for a Little Screw?

He lists his hobbies as swimming, reading, watching lots of screen drama, helping to republish the novels of Leo Walmsley, and searching for that elusive moment of self-discovery.
