Graham Wright is a freelance writer and author who has written numerous short stories and three novels, the most recent of which, 'Shooting at Strangers', is a dramatic and moving story dealing with the fallout from a terrorist incident in Manchester.

All are works of dramatic literary fiction - imaginative, serious and thoughtful, but with a sense of humour. As well as fiction, Graham also writes music, and plays four instruments. He tends to move around a bit, but is currently living in Shropshire.
