About the Author

R.N.F. (Richard) Skinner has published several poetry collections; composed lyrics for a range of songs, including a musical; and written a clutch of published short stories. He has a degree in Natural Sciences from Cambridge University, where, as well as being a member of the famous Footlights club, he co-founded and performed with the cabaret-revue team Headlights. He continues to write and perform sketch-based comedy. A south-east Londoner by upbringing, he moved to Devon in 1975 to pursue his writing while working in a variety of jobs, mainly in the mental health sector. In 2012 he was awarded a doctorate from Exeter University for his thesis on religion and evolutionary theory. He lives in Exeter with his wife, four hens and, until recently, two cats. 'Still Crazy...' is his first published novel.
