Coinneach was born at an early age, and he will tell you that his mother was there at the time. A product of the second half of the twentieth century, he hated writing when compelled for scholastic purposes, dreading those sessions which the teacher called ‘Composition’.
 
Fortunately, he did open himself to the muse later and has managed to write convincingly on a range of topics. He is a self confessed ‘genre jumper’, and hasn’t become fixed in his direction.
