Greg Moodie is the author of Cool Scots, a psychedelic reimagining of Scotland's rich and varied past; Borrowing Burns, a semi-fictional or factually dubious account of the making of his series of Tam O' Shanter murals; and three comic compendiums, Greg Moodie Versus The Union, Election Dissection and Striptease. Six Degrees Of Stupidity is his second novel, but the first in print. He regularly threatens to publish its predecessor, The Unbearable Stupidity Of Being. Technically Dundonian, he currently resides in The Enchanted State of Torphichen (population 570), a conservation village and imaginary island sanctuary in central Scotland. He won Torphichen Citizen of the Year in 2016 for bringing disrepute to the community.
