About the Author

Bearraigh (Barry) Lunt was born in 1971 at Liverpool Maternity Hospital. He initially attended Pleasant Street Primary School because, at the time, it was only one of two schools that had a Language Unit. Even at the age of five, he couldn’t talk properly. His first teacher was a Barbara Garrett who hailed from down south, which probably accounts for his refined Liverpool accent. He also has Asperger’s Syndrome, a form of autism, which he was diagnosed with at the age of thirteen but wasn’t told about this until he was in his twenties. This is his first novel.
