Author Bio

Barry Walsh grew up in the heart of the Great Metrollops during the 60s and thought belatedly that there might be a story in it. The result is The Pimlico Kid, a story of first love. He is now writing his second novel. When not writing, Barry enjoys cycling, watching Arsenal, holidays in France, listening to Neil Young and gazing at Audrey Hepburns face. He is a trustee of the worlds oldest youth club St Andrews and believes that London might just be the centre of the universe. He is married with two daughters.
