Albert W. Anderson was born in Scotland but spent his foremost years in Los Angles, California. After military service, he worked as a freelance consulting engineer having won an A in college creative writing course. He decided to take up writing at the age of 84 to pass the time during his wife’s year long illness. During this time, he wrote four novels with little or no research. He presently lives in a small fishing village in the south west of the country where he enjoys sailing his small yacht.
