My ALLi author guest this episode is Keith A Pearson, who grew up in economically disadvantaged conditions in England, left school when he was sixteen, and developed a work ethic as he advanced in his career. That work ethic came in handy when he transitioned to full-time author. It was a very unlikely new career choice for Keith, who did not exactly surround himself with the literati. In fact, he wrote his first book on a bar bet with a friend. I'll let Keith A Pearson tell the rest of his story.

He has no formal qualifications in writing and, despite forty years of trying, still hasn’t completed a single side of a Rubik’s Cube. His latest novel, The Strange Appeal of Dougie Neil, was published in March and it hit the top-fifty in the Amazon UK book store within a week of release.
