Gary Gibson

After studying Sociology, History and Politics at the Glasgow Caledonian University, Gary Gibson (b. 1965) worked as a "small press" comics magazine editor before following courses in desktop publishing and design and subsequently freelancing as a graphic designer. Prior to becoming a professional writer, Gary Gibson worked for an environmental agency, but left shortly after other members of staff attempted to levitate a local bridge as a protest against road traffic. Following this, he worked as a graphic designer for a printing firm that turned out to be run by a gang of convicted forgers, hastening his departure, and then for a small publishing company otherwise notable only for producing a Freddie Mercury impersonator well-known on the Scottish cabaret circuit. Until recently he resided in Taipei in the Far East with his wife, and is pleased to say that the only lunatic he has to answer to these days is himself. He has a blog at www.garygibson.net. More information about him can also be found at the website of his publisher, Pan Macmillan: http://www.panmacmillan.com/author/garygibson
