David Shaw Mackenzie is from Easter Ross in the north of Scotland. A graduate of Aberdeen University, he has been a social worker, teacher of English as a foreign/second language and a systems analyst. His teaching career took him to the Middle East (northern province of the Sudan, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia), Latin America (Venezuela), Spain and Italy. And London, where he now lives.
His first novel, 'The Truth of Stone', was short-listed for the Saltire Best Scottish First Book Award. He also won second prize for a short story in the Bridport International Short Story Competition.
His second novel, 'The Interpretations', was published in 2013 and his third, 'The Last Wolf' in 2018. At present he's busy writing more and more and more. And painting - trees mostly. Some of his work can be seen on his website:
