Charlie is a Scotsman by birth but has lived in Castlederg with his wife Sharon, formerly Bogle, for just over ten years. At 55 he had no real intention to write a book but he found a strong story forming in his head and when he shared it with his daughters, Amanda and Angela, and wider family, he was encouraged to put pen to paper. The idea of him writing a book would possibly raise a smile among his former teachers as, although he was creatively quite brilliant as a child, he was diagnosed with severe dyslexia at fifteen. Now an IT manager, those days are well behind him but perhaps make the publication of a novel that bit more special
