Kevin John Scott started making up stories in England, at the age of six. “How many paces does it take to walk around the whole school?” his teacher asked the class. “Go and find out.”
“Seventeen million, six hundred and eighty thousand,” Kevin reported back, with confident swagger, a half hour later, having spent the intervening period staring at clouds.
“No,” said Mrs. Ogilvie. “Incorrect.” And Kevin, bewildered by her near-psychic intuition, resolved to get a great deal better at making up stories.
Many years on, Kevin has the experience of a dozen peculiar occupations, all over the world. Detective, computer nerd, actor and entrepreneur. Scandinavia, America, the Balkans. And all of it in search of stories. The more peculiar the better.
He writes mischievous adventures for all ages. He lives near Seattle with a comedienne, and a small boy disguised as a whirlwind.
