F Wallace

FK Wallace was born in an undistinguished 1960s hospital which was declared unsafe and demolished a decade ago. Such an uninspiring start enforced a desire to do something more than become an office drone. Five years of medical school turned out to be preparation for being a hospital drone - until a job offer in New Zealand revealed a very different path.

After an apprenticeship of several million words, Stefan Brukalski arrived with his story. Two years and a great deal of research later, The Painting was finished.

Nearing completion: The First Time They Met, a novel of love, misunderstandings and autism.
