Kevin Cadwallender is the father of Matt, Shani, Charlie and Ellis and also writes poems. In this book some of them are printed.

Kevin Cadwallender is a writer who lives in Edinburgh but is a Yakker. He has a first degree in English and an MA in Radio Production & Management. His writing has appeared on telly, the radio, the internet, in books, in films, in songs, on tape, CD and DVD. He has a pathological dislike for biographies like this and would prefer not to blow his own trumpet as he is much more at home on the flugelhorn.

He has worked as a clown, a roadie, a music journalist, an actor, a nurse, a santa claus, a night porter, a floor tiler, a lecturer, a learning mentor, a youth worker, a care assistant and he has done all these jobs to try to make ends meet and to fill biogs. Lately he has discovered that ends don't need to meet.

He is a vegetarian, atheist, romantic, with GSOH but doesn't want a date with anyone. He runs Voxbox (with Anita Govan) in Edinburgh and is Red Squirrel Press's Scottish Editor.

His previous collection for Red Squirrel was Colouring in Guernica, which is now out of print; Red Squirrel are also the distributor of Kevin's collected 'Baz' poems, Baz Uber Alles.
