Martin White has had an unusual career path - paper delivery boy, restaurant cleaner and coleslaw maker, print finisher, musician, police officer, photographer, author-some of those things were not like the others. Originally from the Scottish fishing town of Musselburgh, he's spent most of his life living between there, Edinburgh and now a quaint village in East Lothian where there are more things lurking under its picture postcard surface than most people would like to believe. He's pretty sure there's a book in there somewhere. With a lifelong interest in dark and macabre writing and anything else in life that's odd, surreal or just plain strange, he sets out to tell stories where unlikely and often terrifying things happen to normal people living their lives in ordinary places. When he's not writing scary stories, he can usually be found reading or playing guitar somewhere.
