Roderick Craig Low

Roderick Craig Low, the elder son of Scottish parents, was born and brought up in England. On leaving grammar school, he lived in Scotland for about five years before moving south to Yorkshire where he raised a family. It was then that he was able to apply his liking for language to his professional life, trading his role as a computer consultant for that of a technical author providing manuals to support software systems and business processes for many 'big name' companies. In 1994, he remarried. His book, 'Writing User Documentation', was published by Prentice Hall that same year. Creative writing, however, was the ultimate goal, but the pressures of everyday life prevented its realisation. He moved to France in 2003 and, in addition to enjoying the delights of living in rural France, could devote more time to this activity. His first book 'Three Hundred Hours' was published in 2009 and re-published by Andrews UK in 2012, together with four other novels, 'England 2026 - After the Discord', 'Going Nowhere', 'Promises of Love and Good Behaviour' and 'Rewards & Dilemmas'. In 2018, he wrote 'A Sense of Travel', which has been published by New Generation Publishing. In this autobiographical account, he recalls memories of public transport, with an emphasis on steam, from early childhood to adulthood, and the sensations and emotions they aroused. He has also written a number of short stories for conventional and on-line publication. In 2014, he and his wife returned to the UK and now live in North Wales.
