Will Evans

Born at the beginning of the 1950s, the author grew up in the village of Iver on the south Buckinghamshire/Middlesex border near to London, England.

While still in his teens, he moved to the rugged north Devon coastline where he found employment on a farm amongst a rural community little changed since before World War Two.

Immersed in his agricultural life on the fringes of Exmoor, learning on the job became a necessary day to day requirement in an unrelenting and unforgiving workplace but these formative years shaped his philosophy for the decades to come.

He went on to become a farmer in his own right using the skills and knowledge accumulated during his early years in Devon.

Later in life, and until his ‘retirement’, he taught at a Further Education college in Barnstaple.

He has also had humorous articles relating to rural life published in UK magazines, more notably, The Countryman.

He now lives in south-west France and still has several acres of land and a few old tractors to keep him occupied. If he’s at a loose end, he indulges in a touch of writing.

He is married, with three daughters, two of whom still live in north Devon.
