Raymond Walker Is the award winning author of Seventeen novels, many compendiums of short stories and two books of poetry (though he hates to admit to them).He is a guitar player, songwriter, father (of two cool kids), an occasional philosopher, political thinker, aesthete and imagine-er of the ethereal and unusual.An all round good guy (or so he tells me), perhaps he forgets that I have read his books.Raymond was born in 1962 and raised in Argyll, Scotland, before moving to Edinburgh to attend university.His love of the countryside, forests, mountains and relics of his native Scotland are reflected deeply in his writing. His tales echo the dark past, the history, the unknown places and wonders of Scotland at the point where reality dips into fantasy until nothing is quite as it seems.Raymond lives in Prestwick, Ayrshire with his beautiful wife, his inflated ego and his man shed.Not one to be pigeon-holed, Mr Walker's books range from Romances and Ghost stories to Historical fiction and fantasy.The winner of several writing competitions, Raymond's books have received critical acclaim worldwide. His novel, "He, who is Lost" wowed readers and critics alike gaining him a new legion of fans and "Trow" saw him move into new territory.He is working on two new Books. "The Dark Kind" the sequel to the hugely successful "He, who is Lost" as well as the long awaited compendium of short tales, "Hiding from the Light" a collection of Gothic Tales.
