Person
Ian Burdon lives and writes in Scotland, north of the Pentland Hills, south of the Firth of Forth.
His first published story was in 2017 and his first collection of linked short stories, Coyote in the Corner, was published in October 2021.
However hard he tries, his stories tend to emerge cross-genre with a bias towards the weird, and occasionally dark.
