Autorenporträt

Alan Gilmour Nairn had very vivid dreams about 15 years ago and this prompted him to study the subject. After having several non-fiction articles published in Scottish memories magazine and The Scotsman newspaper, he decided to write a novel on the subject of dreams. Nairn qualified as a scientist in 1976 and worked for many years in Insurance. Writing is a hobby taken up after his mother died in 2000. He enjoys reading historical novels, especially Walter Scott, William Boyd and Patrick O'Brien. He tries to keep up with popular science and play the piano for recreation, with which he volunteers at a stately home in Scotland as a pianist on their 1896 Bechstein grand piano.
