About the Author

Ian Gowing was born in 1952 in Lochee, Dundee and was subsequently brought up in neighbouring Perth. Ian was diagnosed with schizophrenia after an 11 year period in hospital. His case had baffled psychiatrists until in 1978 a screening programme revealed that he had been illegally administered a harmful substance 11 years prior. As a result his treatment was changed and he was discharged. Ian has since managed to turn his life around, passing 6 GCSEs and, through his love of language, he has become involved in translation and mediation work. He has travelled extensively in Europe and has lived in Germany. It has been a long standing ambition of his to write a book and with it leave some form of legacy in providing entertainment for others. He is currently involved with antiques and collectables, he is an avid reader and a Glasgow Celtic fan.
