Autorenporträt
Shaun Girling was born and raised in south-east England. During his teenage years only his obsessions with R.E.M. and baseball stood out. He left town to pursue his non-practical dream of obtaining a liberal arts degree but got distracted on the way; he bought a guitar, taught himself to play and write songs started performing around Birmingham. Shaun left the University of Wolverhampton with a degree in American Studies which affirmed an oft ignored feeling that he had been born on the wrong continent. He continued to write, perform and record music whilst holding various bill-paying jobs until he moved to Germany. Soon after arriving, he exchanged writing songs for longer texts and eventually began his first novel London, in Limbo. Shaun is an English teacher and is now working on the difficult task of three second novels.
