THE FEARFUL is a story about Faith, about why some people believe in things they've never seen, and about society's intolerance towards others' beliefs. But at its heart it's a tale of a father and son trying to understand each other's ways.
Keith was born and brought up in Grimsby and knew from an early age
that he wanted to be a writer. When he received 0% for his
accountancy exams he decided to pursue his dream.
Since then, he has gone on to win the Angus Book Award and the
silver medal in the Smarties Prize. He has twice been shortlisted
for the Guardian Fiction Prize and was shortlisted for the
Booktrust Teen Prize and the Scottish Arts Council Book Award. Rave
reviews about his writing have appeared in every broadsheet. Keith
was a judge for the Blue Peter Book Award, the Guardian Fiction
Prize and the Bookstrust Teen Prize and reviews regularly for the
Guardian.
Keith is now a full-time writer living in Edinburgh.
