Raphael Merriman

I was born in Leeds, West Riding of Yorkshire in the days when black and white photographs were the norm, rather than an expression of artistic endeavour.

I've been writing since I was a young lad with only one chin, and I like to think I've developed my talent a lot since the beginning, but you can be the judge of that.

And I've read a lot of books, but there are some shocking gaps on my list.

I've also been involved in music for a long time, being lead vocalist/rhythm guitarist for Ultimate Sacrifice; bass guitarist/backing vocalist for Scarred For Life; and lead vocalist/bass guitarist for Sharlock.

I'll update when I have something more interesting to say about myself. In the meantime, feel free to imagine the rest.
