Barry Hutchison hails from the Highlands of Scotland, where he spends time writing screenplays, comics and scary children's books. He is in his early thirties - but on a good day could easily pass for mid-forties - and lives happily with his long-term partner and young son and daughter.


He is tall - but not like the BFG - and likes seafood, comics and Elvis, though not necessarily in that order.
