Keith Adamson is a retired architectural technician, living with his partner in south-west Spain after having worked for over fifty years in the construction industry in Glasgow. An appreciation of Mackintosh is in the blood of anyone associated with architecture in Scotland, and Adamson considers himself no exception. Writing has always been his main other sphere of interest and this is how he continues to spend his days, having a number of unpublished novels on his hard drive. In the 1980s and ’90s he had some success with a few short stories included in various anthologies such as Oranges and Lemons, The Freezer Counter and Borderline, the Mainstream Book of Scottish Gay Writing. This is his first published novel.
