William Fagus

The publicity-shy William Fagus lives in a remote location close to the sea.

William Fagus went to a state school in an English Midlands industrial town where the teachers still threw blackboard rubbers and chalk about. The music teacher, Mr Pekay, hit William on the top of the head with a drumstick for singing bum notes during God Save the Queen. At forty, William went to university in a Midlands industrial town, where he gained a number of Arts degrees and was subsequently unemployed.

William admires the work of Proulx, Chandler, Steinbeck, R.L. Stevenson and B.B. King. The book that has most influenced his writing is Close Range, by Annie Proulx.

William Fagus's biography, of uncertain origin and dubious veracity, is available at his eponymous website.
